Hello from a NY newbie....

[Lavendar]

Hi all,

My name is Teri and I just made my first batch of soap and can't wait to pop it out if the molds. I don't know how I'm going to wait 6 weeks for it to cure.....

For years I've studied aromatherapy and have made various bath products. My favorite being a simple scrub made from Dead Sea salt and a carrier oil and some EO.

I recently took a soap making class in NYC and finally got the courage to do it yesterday....so far (fingers crossed) it looks good!

I used:
Olive oil 47%
Coconut oil 27%
Cocoa butter 15%
Avocado oil 11%
Lavender and Peppermint EO

I've been stalking this site and took much of your advice, so thank you!! You made it a little less intimidating!!

Looking forward to chatting with you and hopefully adding my two scents!

Teri from NY

Hi Teri,

Welcome I'm new myself to the whole soap making adventure. Would you mind sharing the class your attending in NY. I from the city and have been looking for a class, searching online has helped me a great deal however nothing like actual people.

Thanks
Kaye

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your first batch!

The recipe looks like it will produce a nice creamy lather. Please let us know what you think of it when it's cured.
