A variation of this formula is below this one. The variation is using what I call "The Trinity of Lathering Oils" that I introduced for use on our soapmaking list. Coconut, Castor and Palm Kernel.

Mix lye in water only, till dissolved. Bring to room temp by placing the lye container in a ice water bath and stirring every once in a while or just let it set till the next day. Weigh out the oils and melt them in a Stainless Steel or Enamel Pot to about 110° to 120°, a bit cooler is fine. Mix lye water into the oils and stir in. If adding milk, warmed a bit or at room temp, add this after adding in the lye water. Bring to trace and pour. Enjoy your soap after drying for about 4 to 5 weeks.
