We made bacon soap!
Over the weekend I decided it was time to make bacon soap. Note that the supplies include gloves, goggles, and face masks. Lye, and the toxic fumes it creates when mixed with water, is bad for you!
Now it sits for 2 days to settle into becoming soap, then we’ll cut it into blocks while it’s still soft. The lye is still caustic at this stage, because it takes time for all of the lye and fat to combine into soapy goodness. The pH is really high, so I’ll have to wear gloves to handle the soap when I cut it up. Then it must sit on a shelf and cure for 4-6 weeks to complete the saponification. And then, I will bathe with BACON SOAP!!
