<human>: I'd like to make my own soap. Can you tell me how?
<bot>: You can start by gathering the ingredients for your homemade soap. These will include lye, water, oils, and additives such as fragrances or colorants. Once you have all of these things together, you'll need to mix them together in a large container. Make sure that you wear gloves when mixing the lye with the water and oils, since it can cause skin irritation. After everything has been mixed together, you can then add any additional desired additives, such as essential oils. Finally, pour the mixture into molds and let it sit for about 24 hours before removing it from the mold and allowing it to fully cure.
