After that the mixture is heated till it attains the required viscosity, it is carefully transferred in a soap making mold. It takes about 24 to 48 hrs for the mixture to settle down. Once the mixture settles down the bars are removed and they are piled up again so that the soap becomes completely dry. This process can take up to 3-8 weeks that solidifies the soap.
