Hi all of my farmgril sisters,
I have made toiletries such as bath bombs, oils, bath salts and melt and pour soap. I would love to learn how to make cold processed soap and was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction for supplies. I would like good quality without having to pay an arm and a leg for shipping. Thank you so much for the help, I apprectiate it.
hugs

Marcy,
I'm about to try and make soap myself. I found this recipe in a magazine for Marigold, honey and oatmeal soap. I'm going to see if I can find supplies this week. If you want the recipe let me know. Here is an address to try www.bulkapothecary.com for some supplies. Good luck.
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,

Do you know anyone who makes soap? It might be worth it to get a one-on-one tutorial because measuring cold process ingredients is very specific and EXACT. Also, a tutorial will help you learn which ingredients makes for a better soap, how to find "trace" and what it looks like, and WHEN to use the safety gear.
I was lucky to have a friend who makes soap who tutored me AND let me buy ingredients that aren't readily available like Palm Kernel Oil. I paid the going rate, but I didn't need to buy or order too much, so it saved me both shipping and storage.
Anyway, well done home made soap is FABULOUS. Making it is definitely a skill worth having!
