Pour the deonized water in the large plastic or stainless mixing vessel and carefully add lye to deonized water & mix well. Since this mix will become very hot and give off strongly irritating fumes, it is best to mix in an open air setting or a well ventilated room. Avoid breathing the fumes.
Set aside to cool in a protected area while preparing the oils. become Melt the oils and butter. Temperature measurements are not necessary. Add the oils to the lye solution. Mix well using a stick blender. Mix for a few minutes to begin establish the emulsion. Do not worry if it takes more than one try to establish the emulsion. Mix for 2-3 minutes then allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes; mix again. Follow with more mix and rest cycles until trace occurs.
If you are adding fragrance to your soap, prepare your fragrances and additives during the rest cycles. The soap begins to thicken at trace. The blender will begin to work harder. The soap will hold a trace of drop impressions or stir marks. Tracing soap appears like a thickened cooked custard. Add your fragrances and other non-fragile additives quickly. Give one thorough mix with the stick blender. Mix in fragile additives such as herbs, with a spoon.
Pour into freezer paper-lined, plastic- or formica-coated molds. Cover and allow to set up undisturbed. The soap will warm up and go through a clear gel phase as it finishes curing. Cover the molds during the intial cure to prevent soda ash from forming on the surface and to retain heat. Clean your equipment with hot soapy water. Do not pour large amounts of raw soap down the drain. It can cure in place and create plumbing problems, particularly with septic systems.
Allow soap to cure for 1-3 days before demolding. The soap should be loosely covered during this phase. Cut into bars and allow to cure in a protected cool dry area. The bars will take 2 to 3 weeks to finish curing and harden. Once your soap has hardened, cut it into logs and then into bars. Use a rippled mandoline to give your soaps character and added texture.
