yes, it will be a two pound batch, and yes, i cring at that cost too :) but, i am liking the percentages that soapcalc is telling me. hardness 19 (acceptable for aging skin and bones) cleansing 5 ( wont be too harsh on her skin), conditioning 77 ( love that number! :) ) bubbly 7, and creamy 16...

i love those! tree accomplished!!!!

ok, here is what i am thinking so far, these are the oils i have. 50% olive oil 30% rose hip seed oil (Expensive i know, but it is something that i have also wanted to try for myself.) 10% rice bran oil 8% coconut oil (creates a 5 for cleanliness is the only reason it is in here- i hesitate to...

that is a good idea newbie, but as she is in a full care facility, i don't know that the care takers would remember to apply the oil? even though it is a very nice place she is in. But, she AND the staff members would definitely remember to use soap:) that combo of oils sounds so nice i think i...

thanks mzmolly65, i will look those up! I am building a recipe as we speak :) that camelina oil sounds very nice! i think i will put that "I want it now!" list :)

thank you all for the tips. My normal recipe has a lot of olive oil in it, then coconut. I may spend some time on soapcalc and see what i think may be best for her. Her skin is thin, so i would imagine it may be dried out easily. But, i am going to make note of all the ingredients you have...

Welcome Emily! i once spent a few months in Creswick Victoria, near Ballarat training horses. I had a great time in your beautiful area and then traveling up to the gold coast. The people are amazing! there are always questions popping up about bees and beeswax, so i know we will be pestering...

looks good to me! you may want to tell people the difference between your basic soap, and basic unscented soap- the two titles are a bit confusing. beautiful soap by the way!
