Nancy, do you know if I can rebatch soap made out of baby soap bars? I am wanting a good, gentle soap for my impending bump and want to try a very easy project for my first soap making experiment!! Either that can you give me the heads up on an easy, gentle nice smelling soap recipe? Ps I have a slow cooker- might buy a new one for food tho :-)
@kateymateymusic1 Try it, it might work. Go to soapcalc com and put in olive oil 100%, then put in how many pounds you want. Click calculate and it will tell you how much of everything you need. Your own recipe.
Lye is water soluble, so washes off your skin. If you want, you can just put vinegar on it to neutralize it. I have tough skin, so it doesn't hurt. I NEVER breath it or get it in my eyes, however! NEVER!
Thankyou Nancy! Will have a look at soap calc. Failing that I will just order from you :-p

Did you add some water to the cut soap first?

No, I never add water. It will just have to eventually evaporate from the finished soap.
I only add oil.

Why do you add the oil to get rid of the smell of amonia??
123dietdrpepper 2 years ago
I figured the ammonia smell was really from the lye being too strong. So I added oil to help saponify it away.

I now don't think it was ammonia. I think it was the combination of fragrances I added. I guess I don't like that kind!
