Making soap today. Got my molds ready, all my ingredients set out, and now I'm just waiting for the lye solution to come to temperature. I ran out of my homemade bars, so been using store bought. But I dont like it near as much as my own bars. #grownostr #MakeYourOwn #homemadesoap

Awesome sauce.

I would really like to start making my own soaps, shampoos & conditioners.

Do it! I make soap bars, confrey salve for skin, and sometimes deodorant. Much better than store bought, plus I sell these products in our bnb.

Any good resources on how too’s?

Looking for information as to do it with vegetables?

If you search for "soap calculator" you will find many sites that will tell you the measurements of your ingtedients. It all depends on your specific ingredients that you want to use. When i was first learning, i found Becky's Homestead youtube channel very helpful. Then you branch out to using whatever ingtedients you like. Mine is pretty basic, mainly goats milk, coconut oil, olive oil. But the possibilities are endless.

Thank you

It's so satisfying to make! I can't wait to get goats again so I can use their milk for soap. Post pics of your finished soap 😊

I'll try to remember. I add some goats milk to mine, from milk that I buy at the farmers mkt. I like to drink goats milk, so I usually have some on hand.
