I normally grate fels naptha in the recipe but I can't stand the smell.
I'm looking for a strong lye based soap, with our without essential oils added. No perfumes or milk based soaps please.
I am willing to either barter or buy but would prefer to barter as it's just more fun! 
I have many items to trade, so let me know what you're looking for and maybe we can trade.

I have a strong lye based soap that I can send you. It is a mix of coconut oil, palm oil, and olive oil. It has no extra scent. Let me know :)

I have lye soap that I use for Laundry soap all the time.
I currently have some with Rosewood essential oil.
I am making more soap this Sat, so I could add any of these essential oils(lavender,lemon,lime,rosemary) or plain.
Just let me know before Saturday.
I would love to barter!! |

I would love to barter with either or both of you. I have a few things that I could barter with, including starts of plants (lavendar, aloe, mint & parsley) or something else? I'm open to ideas! If you were closer, I have farm fresh eggs & milk. YUMMY!
Another farmgirl and I traded mint for comfrey and that worked very well. I can't tell you how long I've been looking for comfrey!
Or...you could tell me about what dollar amount (please include shipping in that) that you would like for a bar of your soap and I could put together a surpise package that's worth about the same.
Please feel free to email me at phillipsfamilyfarm@yahoo.com with info you that you don't wish to post in the forum (name, address, etc.).

What types of mint do you have (drools happily!) I have chocolate mint this year and have been _dying_ to find some good spearmint to grow alongside it as it makes a _wonderful_ tea (especially good in the winter!). Actually now that I think of it I could use all of those plants...LOL. If you want feel free to email me and we can chat about how many bars you want. :)
Ciao

I mix chocolate mint leaves and peppermint leaves and/or spearmint together and I make tea. Actually I meant to type peppermint on the above post * blush* do you happen to have that too?
Thanks!
