Hi Everyone,
I am so happy to have found this place, it was this morning and already I don't remember what brought SoapMakingForun to my screen, but as soon as I saw it, I ran over here and joined. I started making soap in the 90's, I learned on a list called SoapNuts, with Camille and Becky, miss them, any veterans here? and have been all by my lonely self for decades. I moved to a foreign country where I didn't speak the language and soon met a maker of skin care products, who sells in all the face-to-face markets we have around here (Central México). So I drove back to Los Angeles and got my big pots, returned and have been making soap here for about 8 or 9 years and my friend sells it. Good deal! There are some newer, younger soapmakers here, I love meeting them and buying their products, but still, I am a gnarley old soaper and I think mine is the best. With the extreme case of dry skin, now ageing, I have to have a mild soap! I use things like rhassoul clay, goat's milk, salt, powdered leaf and only essential oils for fragrance. I am swirl challenged!!! Always have been and I bow to those of you displaying those beautiful swirls. I am a speckle girl. that's it. Thanks for letting me sit in and be reminded that there is still so much to learn. It's fun!
