Hello,
I am new to making soap and to this forum as well. I made my first batch using blocks of glycerine from Hobby Lobby that I melted in a pot, then added some vitamin E oil, lilac essential oil, and yellow coloring. It turned out fine, but the soap did not produce much sud when used. I tried a second batch with similar ingredients and also added some olive oil. I think I might have added too much oil but the soap still doesn't have much lather when used.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to improve my soap? I know that the best soap is made from lye and other bases but we're just trying to make some wedding favors and have already invested quite a bit in ingredients, so we would like to use the glycerine blocks if at all possible, and make somewhat decent soap. Any advice/recipes/links will be appreciated!
Thanks
