RE: I Made This Soap Just-For-Fun Using the New Mold I Have!

in #soapmaking6 years ago (edited)

Looks like a lot of fun :) I have always wanted to make a soup on my own but still haven't ventured into it :) I make my own face and body creams though. Combining different ingredients, extracts, herbs, oils is truly inspiring and fascinating for me :)

P.S. I stopped by thanks to @chekohler who featured you in this week Pay It Forward Special Edition :)

Thank you! You have all been so kind! So, I need to look at your blog too and see if you have shared anything about your creams. I also make what I call "body butter". It IS such a useful skill. If you ever do soap, be sure to look at some soap safety videos first to understand how to do it without hurting yourself. It's serious business. But don't let that scare you. Just know what you need to do before you start!

Yep, this is the main reason I haven't tried yet. I realized I need whole new equipment for the soaps. And having a toddler running around... However, I found that some online shops sell soap base and then you can add whatever you want. Maybe I will try that first :) And I will have a closer look at your e-bay soaps ;)

I haven't posted anything about my creams on my blog (I blog mainly about psychology). I do them just for fun. I like to experiment with them. However, they do miracles to my skin. I have atopic skin, it is extremely dry and my creams (body butter) are amongst the few products that help me moistures it and control the itching :)

That's really neat. It is amazing and quite an accomplishment that you came up with a good moisturizer recipe. I am not as good at that as I am at soap making. Good job! I also totally understand what you are saying about safety and having a toddler in the house!
