If I were rich I would play with soap recipes all day.

I love using rice bran oil at up to 25% too ~ it gives a silky feel to the lather imho. <br />I haven't used babassu, lard or canola so I can't comment about the feel of them in soap. I have just started using sunflower oil in soap at about 10% of my recipe and really like it too. <br />I bet your soap's lather feels very soft on your skin :)Topcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863479657181221708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-4355363979979614772011-12-05T15:13:34.328-06:002011-12-05T15:13:34.328-06:00Innerearth, it is funny the lard thing.

I suppose I would be oppossed to it if these wonderful pigs were killed only for their lard but since we use just about every part of their body...oh well, to each his own fat beliefs!<br /><br />Cocobong, I would have no problem using breast milk soap other than I am so immature I know I would giggle thru my whole shower and I am a BIG advocate of nursing. I think my son was 13 when I stopped, or close to that.<br /><br />Rev. Would you like abar of the above soap? It is $4 each plus shipping which is $5 for 1-5 bars. Obviuosly best to buy more than one bar. Just send me your email and what you would like to opies99@gmail.com along with your mailing address. Many thanks<br /><br />Crazy. As you would know, soap is fun and therapeutic!Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-45903394083455137682011-12-05T09:48:29.730-06:002011-12-05T09:48:29.730-06:00Yep, I agree ~ making soap is good!Yep, I agree ~ making soap is good!OurCrazyFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06020242859069231218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-14817664142545668982011-12-05T02:06:55.944-06:002011-12-05T02:06:55.944-06:00Speaking of online orders, I'd like to make on...Speaking of online orders, I'd like to make one :)Amanda Heitlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05970963185827361806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-76919808460201236692011-12-05T01:24:57.394-06:002011-12-05T01:24:57.394-06:00and then there are those who walk by a bar of soap...and then there are those who walk by a bar of soap, turn their nose upwards and say: pfft! soap! I would never wash my skin with soap. I'm serious...happened just the other day..soap makers are still having to convince some folks that handmade soap (if done properly) won't make your skin fall off in dry sheets. I've never used soap made with lard, but now I know what it's like to cleanse myself with breast milk soapCocobong Soapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549591583801464960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-50468660166870676562011-12-04T23:44:28.789-06:002011-12-04T23:44:28.789-06:00You're a funny lady!
