Homemade Soap with Pumice

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 think a small amount of fine grained sand would work great in your liquid soap.""

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.
