- Heat the Soap Base: Melt the soap base over low heat until it reaches a liquid consistency.
- Combine Lye Mixture and Soap Base: Slowly and carefully pour the lye mixture into the melted soap base, stirring continuously.
- Trace: Stir the mixture until it reaches a trace, which means it has thickened slightly and leaves a trail on the surface when you drizzle it.
- Add Additives: Incorporate your desired additives, such as essential oils, herbs, or exfoliating ingredients, at trace.
