Hello Farmgirls!

I have been making my own laundry detergent for 4 years now and love it! I am now ready to start making my own bar soap! Woohoo!

Does anyone have a "easy" recipe they wouldn't mind sharing? I am very simple, so the easier, the better! Thank you!


Hugs,

There's an almost endless amount of different oils to use. For a first soap I would recommend using coconut oil and olive oil. Coconut oil is a hard oil and olive oil is a soft oil. You'll also need lye and what you want to scent the soap with. There are lots and lots of websites with easy first time recipes and instructions on how to make it. You can't just dump it all together. Watch a video or read how to do it first. Your library will also have books on how to make soap.

oooh! Maryjane Lee

Would you be willing to share your laundry detergent recipe?

YakLady Posted - Feb 14 2012 : 2:59:04 PM
Do you already have some ingredients?

What I do is I make my own recipes using SoapCalc.net
You pick what you have, add them to the list and adjust the amounts of each to hit your target ranges of lather, hardness, etc :)
