Just getting started- I've done a few very basic pours with goat milk and olive oil M&P bases. So here's the deal. I'm a bee keeper. I'd love to know what YOU would do with honey. (Not a honey base- honey added to bases.) I already make mead with my honey, but thought soap might be able to...

It's turning into a good start so far. I got 1lb of goat milk & 1 lb of olive oil just to experiment. I just did olive oil with lavender fragrance oil and sandalwood essential oil. It smells lovely as it's cooling. My girlfriend got some peppermint essential oil yesterday (for my feet...

Fortunately, these were not one and the same! :) I got my first experience with soap today, using my M&P goat milk base from BB to just get a feel for using the stuff. A friend at church has VERY sensitive skin, and likes goat milk soap with no fragrances- so I simply melted it and poured it...

Howdy- first post here. My girlfriend went to a craft store yesterday, and I spotted the soap making supplies. it sounded like fun, and we decided to give it a try. we didn't buy anything right off (I figured I'd do some looking online first). I found some posts saying the melt & pour bases...
