Hey gang,

I am a big fan of handmade soaps. I've been interested in making my own and experimenting.
I just joined the boards to do LOTS of research to pick up on all of your great tips and suggestions.

I would LOVE to find a local soaper in my area that would welcome me over to watch, listen and learn, through their process.

My favorite soap is Patchouli & Sandalwood. I also love lavender, citrus, lemon and verbena.

Okay, I just wanted to say HI and look forward to becoming an active member.

Joey

Thanks for all of the warm welcomes!
Been reading up on posts and information.
Great stuff.

I'm a bit worried about LYE.
It's not something I really want in my home.
Sound extremely harsh. I'm assuming there
are alternatives to this.?. I hope so.

Everyone have a wonderful Holiday.
Look forward to getting to know some of you.

Where do you live?

I don't mess with lye, I do MP soap. I just asked where you live cuz I was born in Redbank, NJ. Was 6 weeks old when I left there. so I don't remember any of it!

Welcome to the forum
Glad you found us!!

If you want to make soap from scratch there is NO alternative. The definition of soap is lye + oils =soap.

You can melt & pour (I melt & pour), but that's whole other animal.
