alicia · Jun 17, 2011

Hi everyone this will be my first time at making soap.
My first step is a recipe.I need to find a recipe that has no fat oil oil in it does anyone know a good recipe for me?

Also where can i find a place that sells the box's for the soaps that you can put them in like when you buy from the supermarket.

Soaps are made of oils. Without both oils and lye you have no soap. And thus will need no boxes.

Should you decide to make soap (with oils) you can get soap boxes at The Scent Works and many other online soap suppliers.

As for needing a recipe - I suggest you start your research at millersoap.com.

Good luck.

Did you mean a soap made without oils or fats at all? Or did you mean without a certain type of fat (like no animal fat). Like Carebear said, you can't make soap without fat/oils, but you could make a soap without animal fats. Please clarify your question for us.

There is a "sticky" share your favorite soap recipe on this forum. Always run EVERY recipe through a lye calculator to get the amount of lye needed. Never trust any lye amount on any recipe......
