How to Make Triple Milled or Hand Milled Soap
- 1). Grate basic soap into a large pot. Add 7 oz. water, and melt together slowly over medium heat. Stir the mixture gently with a wooden spoon; try not to make bubbles. This process can take 20 minutes to an hour.
- 2). Melt cocoa butter in the saucepan over low heat. Add almond oil, lanolin and glycerin. Mix until soft. Add this mixture to the melted basic soap and water and stir until slightly thickened. Don't let the mixture get too hot; between 150 degrees F and 160 degrees F is ideal. Adjust heat if necessary.
- 3). Pour the mixture into soap molds. Smooth the tops with a rubber spatula. Allow to cool until a skin forms on the surface. When the skin has formed, transfer the molds to the freezer and keep there for one to two hours.
- 4). Spread butcher paper on the counter. Turn the molds over the butcher paper and give the bottoms a tap to release the soap from the molds. Move the soap to a secure place and allow to cure for two to four weeks.
