Mixing the White Half

Melt your oils, add the lye and stick blend it like you would with any basic batch of soap. However, be sure to stop stick blending as soon as you get to a really light trace. In my recipe, it's just barely blended/emulsified together - about 30 seconds with the stick blender - barely the consistency of very light cream. Don't worry if it doesn't all seem mixed together just yet. We're going to do some more mixing.

Pour half of the soap into the pyrex bowl with the white colorant in it.
