I’ve also read that a lye based bar soap is not recommended . I’m also looking to make soap for my pup & senior dog ! Do you have any recommendations on what to switch the lye with?? I’m Still a bit new to soap making :)

Thank you!

How much essential oil do you use per LB ?

I’ve read When using pure essential oils in cps I need to dilute it . How do I do that? by mixing it with another oil such as olive oil Orr??? Still new at making cps i want to make sure I’m not gong to waste my essential oil & over do it with the scent
