At the beginning of our
soap-making days we did not know where to begin. It took us months to
research the art of making soap. After numerous unsuccessful batches
that ended in the garbage, we finally created beautiful soap. We
initially feared the use of lye, but when all precautions were used
everything went as planned. We take pride in sharing our experience in
making not only cold soap but glycerin soap. The making of glycerin soap
can be a safe family or school activity. All soapmakers are welcome to
submit their original recipes and we would be honored to share them with
the world.
