Soapmaking

What I am reading at the moment.  I am doing lots of research and pinning like crazy on my new soapmaking board on Pinterest.  This book has methods for making soaps with the cold and the hot processes.  I think I will try the cold process first.  I am gathering the equipment necessary and the hardest is finding lye.  Fortunately, I have found it at Amazon.  I looked at a couple of places locally and I couldn't find any.  So use this link to buy yours.




I also found this great website https://www.soapqueen.com and bought another book.  This book is on clod process soapmaking and has wonderful recipes and full-color images.  The steps are well illustrated, but some of the ingredients are not easy to find.



I have made my first soap and it worked !!!  I took the recipe from Everything Soap Making, it has a formula with only olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil, ingredients you can find everywhere.

I so understand all the craze!
