  A Shortcut To Soap Making

Instructions:
If you do not wish to handle lye, do not have wood ashes available,
or do not have the time to make soap from scratch, you can still make
homemade soaps. You can purchase castille granules at most
drugstores. There is no need to mess with lye when using these
granules. Since they are actually granulated soap, it is easy to make
soap from them.

Put the granules into a kettle and add water. Instructions for use
will probably be on the package. If not, use common sense in adding
water. (Don't drown the granules.) Heat the mixture at low to medium
heat and stir it constantly with a large wooden spoon. The granules
will dissolve. Stir the mixture until it is smooth. Remove it from
the heat and add any other ingredients or emolients that you want.
Stir them in well as the soap cools. Add perfume (if desired) as
they very last ingredient. Blend it in so that the fragrance will be
evenly dispersed. Pour the mixture into molds, and let harden. If the
soap does not set (that is, if the bars do not get hard) reheat the
mixture, adding more castille granules as necessary. Before it cools
completely, you will need to add more perfume because reheating the
mix will release the volatile floral oils, thus destroying them.
