Hi everyone! The cold season is upon us here in Islamabad and so perfect for soap making! (We had such a sweltering summer!) I have been dying to make @Zany_in_CO 's No Slime Castile Soap. My son made a mistake when buying the oil – we had planned to purchase Olive Oil (here it is called Extra...

Hi everyone! My 11-year-old son and I are into soap making ... we have such a long way to go, but are having a lot of fun. We've been keeping things simple – we've made coconut oil soaps and used cooking oil soaps. A couple of months ago, we made this soap (recipe we found online): Olive oil...

Hi there! I'm Shirin and I'm a Singaporean based in Pakistan. I'm here on behalf of me and my 11-year-old son :) We both got into soap making when he had to take part in the local homeschooling community's Science Fest. He wanted to do something new ... after much brainstorming, he got very...
