Manufacturing process:

1. Choosing oils: Select base oils like olive, coconut, palm, and castor oils, each with a range of beneficial properties for the skin.
2. Preparing the lye solution: Lye (usually sodium hydroxide) is dissolved in water. This step requires caution and adherence to safety rules.
3. Mixing oils and lye: oils are heated and mixed with the lye solution. This process, known as saponification, results in the formation of soap and glycerin.
4. Adding extras: Essential oils, herbs, spices, clays, and other natural additives can be incorporated at this stage to give the soap unique properties and scents.
5. Pouring into molds: The soap mixture is poured into molds and left to harden.
