Summary

“I have to ask about your handmade soap recipe. How do you make soap at home? I’ve been thinking about making my own for a while (maybe also add some oat pulp that remains from making oat milk?).

0:00.0	Well, hello there and welcome back. My name is Stephanie Safarian and you are
0:05.0	listening to episode 210 of the Sustainable Minimalist Podcast, a bi-weekly show
0:11.2	about eco-friendly and minimalist living.
0:15.0	On today's show, we are discussing all things, soap making.

1:25.8	So, uponification, I love that word.
1:28.4	So the instructions I'm giving you today are for cold process soap making, which means that no external heat is used
