Yesterday I made soap.
I’m feeling very pleased with myself. I’ve made it before, but had lost the recipe. Now days there are so many recipes on the internet, and so many tutorials, there is really no excuse Not to make soap.
Thor likes soap without fragrance. Plain soap. How hard can that be to find right? Well wrong apparently. Most soap at the supermarket pongs.
Anyway, we had a tried and true soap that we would buy, and then obviously the company wasn’t selling enough, so either they stopped making it, or the supermarket stopped buying it. Whatever the reason, we can’t get it, hence the mission to make our own.
and here we are. In total 22 good sized bars of soap made from olive oil, rice bran oil, and coconut oil. Now it needs to cure for six weeks before we use it. It took maybe 1/2 and hour to make, and is so easy that I can see we won’t be going back to the store bought stuff.

Tony is exactly the same as Thor, he refuses to use most supermarket soap, Sunlight soap is the only one he will use.
good on you!!!
Love to see what you did - ie instructions & recipe.
Corrine it turned out really well. I'm sure Thor will like it, now you just have to wait, the hardest part I think :)

Ooh recipe please? I have a recipe somewhere for liquid hand soap I keep meaning to try - just have to get some glycerine! Have a great time at SENZ - I was there today, there are lots of goodies to be tempted by!
Nice work! Looks like you did a great job. I don't like fragrance in my soap either.
