Notes:
Sized for 1 lb silicone soap molds, 4 x 3.5 x 2.75. Dissolve sorbitol, sodium citrate and sodium lactate in distilled water and dissolve BEFORE adding NaOH. If using masterbatched lye, add them to the additional distilled water and dissolve, then add to MB lye. Make sure Tallow and coconut oils are warmed until clear to avoid stearic spots.
