Hi everyone,
Hope your weekend is off to a great start! As most of you know I am preparing on making my first soap loaf and gathering up the supplies I need to get started. And now I am trying to decide which method do you think would be best for newbies? I was thinking perhaps hot process only because I could try out my first bar sooner and kinda like cooking I could sample it right away after making it. Where as if I did cold process I would have to wait for several weeks before being able to use my creation. but maybe that would be easier for my first time? Any thoughts on this? Also I have been seeing some cool soaps being made on youtube with fruit puree and although they look pretty and I like the concept of them, I am not understanding the point of them really. Fruit is great to eat and has lots of benefits to making them part of your diet but what are the benefits of putting fruit in your soap besides the cool factor? And don't worry, I am not planning on adding fruit the first few times I make soap. I was just curious about the reason behind them in there. I have never even used a fruit soap bar before, perhaps I would love it.
