How can I apply sugar, milk, beer, and honey to soap recipes? How can I test to know that finished home-made soap is good for the body?

This is the google site that gives you hundreds of recipes for the soap you want. I also found really great books at the library, so I hope these both help.

When making the lye soaps which need to be stirred and then poured into a mold, add your honey or lavender or even oatmeal right before pouring to mold.
I am looking for a basic recipe for soap that I can use my own different scents oils in. I would also like to find a honey and oatmeal soap.
There is a website called Living on a Dime. Tawra makes a lot of soap. She posts a lot of videos on YouTube. Check them out.
Are there any soap makers out there? Would you like to share some tips to those wanting to learn to make soap?
I've made soap before, when I had a lot of goat milk. It was never a good way to use up a lot of milk. I have no recipe, I just did a websearch for a recipe, and found that it's on the side of the lye can.
I have a lot of reciepies for soap/bath bombs/ bath products in general. Not sure how I would contact you through this site but you could leave a comment on my blog with your email, I won't publish the 'comment' but could forward you some recipies. Happy to help.

Hi Folks. I need a little help here. I'm looking for a recipe to make homemade liquid soap with pumice. (Nothing real involved or spectacular). You know, the kind you can buy in the expensive stores in the mall that you would use to wash your hands after working with greasy food in the kitchen.
I keep a small container of sugar by my sink. A squirt of liquid soap and a spoonful of sugar do wonders for dirty hands. I prefer sugar to pumice because it dissolves and I'm not left with one or two annoying grains between my fingers :o)
In the bath I mix up a small jar of glycerin and sugar with a few drops of essential oil (peppermint - mmmmm) for a great exfoliating scrub.
I think a small amount of fine grained sand would work great in your liquid soap.""
Is it possible to skip the grating of bar soap such as Ivory and just use the liquid version?
Thanks.
I bet not..I think they add something to the liquid soaps to prevent them from solidifying...
What can I do with the end bit of a bar of soap? How can I put the bits together to make one bar, of any shape?
By Sandra
Here are several ways to deal with the left over bits of soap.
One is to put those bits into a small (like kid size) acrilic ankle sock, tie a knot in the end and use those left over bit to shower with.
*Note - use about a teaspoon per washer load only. Adjust to suit your machine, water type, load amount and dirt conditions.

This is a page about making melt and pour soap. Homemade soap is a fun craft to get into. You can easily jump right in by using melt and pour bases.
Aged lye soap can be very good when used as a complexion bar. This is a page about how to make lye soaps.
Melt your soap down using a double boiler method. Once melted, stir in your instant coffee or coffee grounds, powdered milk and coffee fragrance oil.
Empty the packet of gelatin into a bowl and set aside. Boil 3/4 cup of water using a saucepan or Kettle. Carefully pour the hot water into mixing bowl and mix it with the gelatin powder.
Okay yes this sounds unusual, but these are in fact really cool and playful. They make traditional soap fun and more interesting for sure!! I found many recipes and ideas online, but when I tried them, the jellies would just fall apart and these so far have not done that! So I'd like to share how I make them and hopefully these will be a fun project for you to enjoy:)
