Cold Process Soap 101: How to Measure Lye  @Simplyearth
Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
Welcome back to Part 3 of our Cold Process Soap Series! In our last video, we covered why lye safety is non-negotiable — now that you're geared up, it's time to actually handle it. Measuring lye is all about precision and order, and getting this step right makes the rest of the soap-making process so much less stressful.

Here's what you'll learn in this video:
■ The tools you need — and the one material you should NEVER use (it reacts violently with lye)
■ The golden rule of soap making: always add the lye to the water, never the water to the lye
■ How to measure your distilled water and lye flakes precisely on a scale
■ How to safely mix your lye solution until it turns from cloudy to clear
■ The exact temperature range (95–110°F) to cool your lye solution to before your next step
