Hi there. I'm VERY new here and am extremelly interested in making my own soaps. I want to get started with mp and possibly move on to cp, depending on my likes. My question is this: the shipping cost for a base is high and the supplier near me does not carry a goat's milk base (gm is my main interest so far). I've been researching and have found someone on the net, some of you may know who I'm speaking of, who uses a veg. glycerin base and adds oils, butters and gm to that base. BUT from all that I've read you really shouldn't be doing this with mp..?? MP is mainly for just adding eo and fo and color and tweeking it that way to meet your needs? Can this be done (apparantly, she's doing it) and I'm wondering if anyone has a recipe that does this? Sorry so long of a post but I am very interested in doing mp this way if I can pull it off. If not...I may have to become a chemist faster than I really want too =). Thanks.
