Hi All!
Lovely to be here again! Long time reader, first time poster!
I started soaping in early 2020, but around mid-year 2020 I had to stop because my husband and I were expecting and my biggest pregnancy-aversion was bar soap (!). My husband quickly hid away all of my soaping supplies and lingering Nurture Soap orders as they came in because I just couldn't stand to even think about bar soap (detergents were A-OK, weirdly). Now that our little one is here and we've settled into a routine, I'm getting back into my hobbies. The good news is that all the bars I made before had a nice long cure...the bad news is that they are all a little too drying for the amount of diaper-change-related handwashing that goes on in our house!
So I'm happily experimenting to see if I can create a gentler recipe right now. I'm very grateful for all the knowledge that you lovely folks have shared and collected here over the years that helped start me in soaping two years ago! Thanks All!
