Filter the mixture with 59 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:26,900 a cloth or a piece of filter paper. 60 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,400 Measure out 15 cups of oil and heat it up for around 20 minutes. 61 00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:41,500 Slowly add the mixture to the oil, 62 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,500 stirring constantly with the mixing tool provided. 63 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,200 Once the mixture is well incorporated, the mixture is then 64 00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:50,800 placed into the molds and covered in plastic wraps 65 00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:52,200 where it is kept to dry. 66 00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,700 Wait 6 weeks or so for it to harden. 67 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,000 Unfortunately, only one of our soaps came out usable 68 00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:01,700 as we made the mistake of leaving the soap to harden outdoors. 69 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,800 we have concluded from this that the soap should be hardened 70 00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:08,600 indoors as so not to be exposed to the sun which could disrupt the hardening process. 71 00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:10,800 But in the end, it still worked 72 00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:13,800 and we managed to make soap that could clean up our dirty hands. 73 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,200 What makes our product different from the rest? 74 00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:20,700 Most commercial soap making kits nowadays focus too much 75 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,900 on aesthetics and comfort. We want our soap making kit 76 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,500 to be practical and useful in everyday situations. 77 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,600 So, that is why our soap making kit 78 00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:34,500 is low of cost, and can be used at a very low maintenance. 79 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,700 This way, everybody can lives their lives in sanitation 80 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,000 without worry of not being clean enough to live another day.
