How hard are they to make?

sounds more like to the point to me..and she's right.

butter still has milk solids. The way you make ghee is by melting butter, letting the solids sink and pouring off the fat. Then you have 100% butterfat.

I assumed it was clarfiied butter, aka ghee.

yeah I get the 'what do you do with it' a lot at my stall. I always answer "I don't know what you do with soap, but I tend to wash with it when I shower"

How about cherry blossom? And good luck to your friend!

Oh wow! they are amazing!

its something to combine oils and water. Does your recipe call for a lot of oils? It may be to prevent them floating on the top fo the bath as a lot of people kind of dislike that.

mine comes in a bucket and is hard..i keep the basement cool. but I have a Big Knife!

I just did a batch with equal amoutns lye and water, and added salt and sugar. Its now a paste. Not what I'd intended! edited to add, salt and sugar first, lye after.

*grins* and what do you want?

Intellectually...I know there is GF beer. And its probably good. But its like GF bread...I see it and I"ve always got this remaining niggling doubt..'will it hurt me'? And regardless of what the brain says, the subconcious screams NO! at me. So I never pick it up. Wimp huh?

I like tan and yellow. Its holiday like, cheerful!

Barley and barley malt are evil glutinous products. Rice however, is lovely and safe. *grins* and from a celiac standpoint: if its beer soap that's plenty of warning to me. Might not be for people buying /for/ celiac's, but not all celiac's stay away from glutinous body products either-...

I can confirm that this celiac won't touch beer soap - some friends want me to make it and i'm seriously debating it, but if I do i'll be handling it with gloves- I can't afford the rashes.
