I love these! Making soap is a lot of fun and it really impresses people. That’s what makes it such a great DIY gift!
Great ideas! However, Ive been making cold process soap for about ten years now and I have to clarify one point: There is no soap without lye. ALL soap is made with lye, but there is a chemical reaction that occurs so there is no lye, or oil, left in the finished product. So, for example, coconut oil + lye = sodium coconate. Tallow + lye = sodium tallowate. A lot of people who use the melt and pour method (that is, melting a block of glycerin soap and forming new bars of glycerin soap) confuse this, but its true!
Hi, I loved the recipe for the exfoliating coconut bars with a loofah inside, super cute and very giftable 🙂
I recently got into making my own lotions and body washes and now I am curious about making lye-free soap bars, so thanks for the recipes!
This post is brilliant! My husband’s friend makes soap and often shares his excess. I’ve tried some simple recipes myself (most oatmeal or lye free). Bar soap has saved my family so much money over the past year, and I just got so excited when I stumbled across this post @ http://affimity.com/#/sharedPost/2/8532. I am definitely going to try Pumpkin Soap!
