Hi What is the simplest liquid soap to make. That requires least effort and time. I have Glycerine and the oils and hard oils. The have KOH and that's it. I looked at Irish Lass recipe but there's a whole lot of extra ingredients at dilution stage. The soap I want is all purpose maybe a...

I have done the other standard ones with olive oil and coconut oil. But I don't like coconut oil it's too stripping even with 10% or something. I would like to up the creaminess, and bubbles of the 100% Olive oil one.

Hi My favourite soap is a 100% olive oil 5% super fat. Cured for over a year. It is so moisturising and cleansing at the same time. What can I add to make it a harder bar and quick drying without losing moisturising quality.

Hi Does Anyone have a good recipe for a cleansing balm? Like the ones formulated by the department store brands. Something that melts on contact with skin to dissolve makeup and washes off with water.

Try fragrance free?

Really? I did not know this. Is butter ok?

Does anyone have a good recipe for a cleansing balm. Like Organic Carrot butter cleanser, or clinique take the day off balm. Also some of the Shu Uemura oils. I think they use emulsifiers so in contact with water it dissolves oil.

Does anyone have a liquid soap recipe that uses just olive and castor oil?

I would also like to make a liquid soap without coconut oil, it sometimes leaves a strange smell on you cannot smell, only. Someone else.

Yes any other oils for use around the eyes, or even a mix. I have been using Castor oil which is apparently drying. I think castor oil is very drying and cleansing that's why you broke out. There is just alot of conflicting information out there.

I obtained a sample of Eve Lom Cleanser. It really is very nice. As it has the emulsifier the oil and the balm washes off with water leaving the skin nice and smoother £and clean. There is a touch of clove and eucalyptus oil. Now I need to try and replicate it.

Hi I have some avocado pureed with a bit of water and citric acid in the freezer. About half a cup. At what stage is it best to add this to soap proces?

Oh ok cool thanks.

I tried this striping method of washing soda and borax with just a pair of wool socks that I only have used soap to wash. The water did become muddy and cloudy. The was some solidy stuff floating in the water. I am not sure it it was colour run. I'm going to experiment more.

Yes I know. Apparently you can just add Polysorbate 80. I might go and get some.

Hi All Does anyone have a good recipe for a home made cleansing balm or butter that is a hack of what they are selling at the stores like. Eve Lom Cleanser. One jar is $150. The commercial ones seem to emulsify when in contact with water what can you add to make this happen at home with...

Sorry for being a pain but does anyone have a recipe for a mild liquid soap for face. If I could make half for body / hand and half for face with a different dilution method or upping super fat in the same setting would be great. I actually do find Dr Bronners stripping and drying for my face...

Hi IrishLass With the simple Olive oil recipe, is it mild enough for face? I have quite sensitive skin. Should I go with the other recipe? Should I drop out the coconut oil as it's drying? Say I make a batch, and set aside some to dilute with distilled water. For hand and shower. Another...

Do people notice is difference between using organic vs non organic, and cold pressed vs refined. As this is for face, we need extra care?

Hi if soap is PH 7 it ceases to be soap right? Dove beauty bar is 7.
