Something else I also something else I want to share with you guys is common soap myths.
The first, soap making is not difficult. Second, that soap can be made without
lye. Technically, if you want to avoid the mixing of the lye you can purchase
melt and pour bases. Third, that it
requires a bunch of different expensive equipment. Soap making only requires a
few different things that are not general house hold items. My favorite recipe
for soap making on requires a Crockpot, hand blender (this is the most
expensive part, but on Amazon I bought one for less than $15.00) wooden spoon, mold,
measuring cup, gloves, and goggles (I do not wear goggles) and a glass jar to
mix to the lye in. Some people prefer to buy separate soap making equipment,
but you do not have to. Although, I did buy separate stuff because my mom was didn’t
want me to use her stuff and wear it out.
Now that those myths are straightened out I hope that you
guys will give soap making a chance. I am very glad I did! It may take time like it did for me. Many many
years ago, my sister and I wanted to make soap, but it never happened because we believed
all of those myths that I just mentioned. We were going to purchase an
expensive soap kit and everything. When I finally decided to make soap, I purchased
all of my ingredients separately (not in a kit.) I bought my lye, mold, and hand
blender from Amazon, and the rest at Wal-Mart.
Below I have included links to
some very good and informing websites. One is on how to use lye safely and the
other is my favorite simply recipe. There are more simple ones with only lard,
lye, and water, if you prefer.
