4 C. Lux Soap Flakes
1-2 C. milk (soy, cow, or goat)
1/2 C. dried milk powder
2-3 drops essential oil (optional for scented soap)
In a pan over low heat combine the soap flakes and 1/2 C. liquid milk. Stirring constantly to prevent milk from burning, add more milk as mixture gets too lumpy to mix. After about 15 minutes the mixture will begin to liquefy, dried milk and essential oil can be added at this time. When mixture is completely liquid, pour into silicone molds or any glass or plastic pan. Let soap sit for 24 hours. Remove from molds and cut into appropriate sized bars.
Ingredient note: Lux Soap Flakes are only manufactured in the UK and no longer be purchased in the USA. Boxes and bulk bags can be ordered from MSO Distributing
Pictures of the process can be found on my blog here.
