I just made a Chaga, Sea Moss, Bladderwrack, and Sea Buckthorn bar with Molasses and Vegemite. It’s curing now and I can tell it will be wonderful.

Yes. I need that fatty goodness. So sorry for the late reply.🌺

Hi! Here are some of my must haves: castor oil, peanut oil, salmon oil, camel fat. I especially love the last 3 oils. I like to use all milk even coconut. My secret there is to only use the highest percentage of fat. Low fat does nothing for me. I really prefer powders rather than produce purée...

My personal favorite is yogurt. I freeze it and use it as my lye liquid and then add even more at trace. I think the special ending properties in the soap has to do with the fat content. So, I go for that highest fat content no matter which milk I'm going to work with. :?

I have used corn oil in my batches. I read that it possessed some of the same properties as olive oil. To me it acted similar. I do soap in small batches so you may want to investigate if this oil will work for you. It is more affordable than olive oil and I had no problems soaping with it. Hope...

I add mine at the trace because I feel like it will maintain the integrity better. :?

Never tried eggs before I have a soap book that includes recipes on egg soaps but I have never tried them. I have made tofu soap before. The tofu cakes lend a creamy richness to the soaps as well. I might try the eggs, I love being creative. :P

Got to agree. Everyone has been so nice to me. There are pictures of beautiful soaps here also. I love to check those out. :)

Born and raised in Moses Lake Wa living in Dayton Oh baby! :wink:

I am absolutely in love with yogurt soap! I feel like freezing some and making a batch tomorrow with some pureed papaya in there. :twisted:

I have a fresh food fetish when it comes to soaping. I feel that by adding milk and produce that I am nourishing my skin naturally and I love it! I always add my produce at trace and I have 4 year old food soaps that are just delightful. Never had any rancicity. Have fun! :P

My mother did this in a different way. She would add a small amount of water to her old shavings and mash them up together. It wasnt goregous but she saved her scraps!

Hi! It has been awhile and I havent forgotten you all. Let me hear from you. The People on this forum have really been helpful in my soapmaking endeavors. I want to say thank you and let you know that I will be going over some of the older postings to refresh my memory and learn something new! :D

Yes. I definately love it! It's been 3 years for me. I don't want to be cured of it either! :lol:

Whenever I get the chance I like to let people know that if they used the right cleansers for their face and body that their skin wouldnt get so dry. I used to depend on that high price stuff at the cosmetic counters at the mall. It never really did me any good. I am also very quick to hand out...
