Hi!! I am posting from Vancouver, WA (just a stone's throw from Portland, OR). I have read a few posts on here before but decided to jump on in as I need expert opinions, and well - the soap bug bit and bit hard late last year. :shh: I have made two batches since then, both pure unscented castile 100% olive oil (organic from Costco) soaps. I will be using all certified organic oils and certified organic essential oils and hope to get opinions on various suppliers, etc. In the future I am interested in selling for extra income but right now I just want to play around with creating my own recipes and use them for us/give to family and friends.
I started with lip balm, which turned into making my own facial toner, face scrub, lotion bars, body butter, sugar scrub, solid perfume...and finally I overcame my fear of lye (I am still sort of nervous around it) and dove into soap.
