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'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.

You will need lye to make it, and it is a dangerous product. Nothing could make me use lye without EYE SAFETY AND GLOVES. God bless.

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.



Our children gave me some for Christmas, but I use it a good bit and am in need of more. I think I read somewhere that it could be made with baking soda (?) but I'm not sure. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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.""

I bet not..I think they add something to the liquid soaps to prevent them from solidifying...

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.

Second, you can grate (yet another use for your cheese grater) them into uniform bits and mix in a small amount of water to them so you can squish them into a ball or bar for use after allowing to dry.
And third, is you can take the grated bits and dry them completely, grind them into a powder to use for laundry soap.

*Note - use about a teaspoon per washer load only. Adjust to suit your machine, water type, load amount and dirt conditions.

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:)
