This was very different to how I make CP soap. Thank you for posting the video, I like seeing different methods.

@BuffAngela158 If you really are too scared to use lye because of the possible dangers with caustic burns. Then perhaps melt and pour soap is for you. It's already made soap that you can add small amounts of oils or other skin loving things to make your own soap. This type of soaping can get really creative too and it's less dangerous so you can have fun soaping with kids without worrying. You can find melt and pour bases at your local micheals along with dyes and scents and some additives.

@CaTaLiNaJV Yes and No. IF you want to make soap from scratch then yes you need to use lye. The prospect is daunting I know but, as long as you take precautions like using gloves and goggles and be sure not to get the mixture on your skin. If you do you need to use some vinegar to neutralize the lye then wash with soap and water to get anything off your skin, Immediately!

@cooksalot1 It is fun! And that's the future plan..it takes a while to get some of the recipes down though. So i'm loosing money right at the moment. I'm giveing my soap away so that I can get some feedback by different sorces. Eventually I hope to sell it. I think the soap I make is wonderful. So I can rival the local talent i'm sure. :0) lol

But it's fun making the soap isn't it. LOL!
Hey at that price you could sell the soap for a few bucks less and pay for all the ingredients you use to make it for yourself. heehee
Could somebody please tell me what oatmilk is? It looked really thick but I've never heard of it.

@honey562012 hi certainly. The 'oatmilk' is simply cooked oatmeal strained to get the lumps out or basically oat starch. I have a video showing how I make it. :)

@SpokenWordFan hi sorry it's taken me so long to respond. No you don't have to use palm oil you can use any oil you like. I use palm oil because it's less expensive then some of the oils that have the qualities I want like coco butter. It makes the lather nice and creamy as well as lending a hand at hardening the bar. :)
