Good luck! It's great fun. Also, be forewarned, highly addictive. Keep us posted!

That's a very deep rabbit hole I'm currently still stuck in LOL

You will need to do tons of research on what's "natural" and "safe" but first I suggest you define to yourself what you mean by those two terms and stick with it.

Can't wait to see your first soap
