Equipment 

Scale Digital Gram Accuracy for Mass Analysis 
Glass Heat Proof Mixing Container Casing Mould for Soap Casting
Water vessel for weighing up water
Container for Lye solution, glass, gets hot
Container for activated carbon & essential oil
Immersion mixer to mix up solution to trace point quickly 

Ingredients

58 g Sodium hydroxide Caustic soda, or NaOH
104 g Water
454 g (16 oz) Extra Virgin Olive oil
14 g Essential Oil of Lavender 
1 g Activate Carbon as Pigment Color

*exothermic NaOH water mix reaction

Procedure 

Mix NaOH & Water in heat proof container outside or in well ventilated area as fumes are corrosive & bad for human health. Once NaOH solution cools to ~100 F, add it to the measured olive oil container. Utilize immersion blender to mix the Lye solution with olive oil. 

Hit ‘Trace’ when soap batter onto the surface of your soap leaves a trail. A very light trace (barely thickening) easier to work with since it settles nicely into moulds. A thicker traced soap can be spooned into containers.

Once you hit trace add essential oil & blend evenly

Pour the activated soap mixture into mould for casting soap

Remove soap from mould between 48 & 128 hours & cut into bars & setup drying of soap during curing process lasting 1 month or more. Curing for 4+ weeks hardens soap for efficient use
