What's your favorite soap?

[LidiaG]

Hello
I would really like to know what your favorite soap is. If you'd be kind enough to share. Like if you're going to use one soap for the rest of your life, what soap would it be? Or is it more the oil blends for you?
I know just one can be tricky too

So far I love pine tar, and a pink clay milk soap. Low cleansing and more conditioning oil blend.

My idea is to make some soaps for gifts that are more likely to be loved.

Hello

Everyone's skin and tastes are so different. I don't think you're going to find the holy grail soap that pleases everyone. I think your best bet is a gentle recipe with a light fragrance. Your phrasing, "more likely to be loved..." does this suggest that your soap hasn't been well received yet?

Fragrance and bubbles. Those are the two things I find people looking for in soap. Although visually interesting gets their attention, good smelling holds it...

Anything gentle is best for me. I've bought so many soaps that were beautiful and smelled amazing, but were too harsh for my dry skin. I like bubbles too, but a good, gentle, not too stripping soap is my favorite. I like it to be reasonably low in coconut oil or PKO.

My most favorite soap out of the ones I make that everyone seems to love is my vegan pine tar soap I make lots of it. I even have someone who gives me the ingredients to make it for them because they feel bad about me giving them so much for free. Lol. I also really love my honey, oatmeal with almond milk and I also use almond oil in my soap recipe. I then fragrance it with honey, almond FO. It's sooo wonderful! Those are my favorites out of the soaps I make.

True! Don't we all want and hope for that

Thank you! That's helpful!

Your phrasing, "more likely to be loved..." does this suggest that your soap hasn't been well received yet?

So last year for Christmas, I made a basket, with soaps, Lip Balms and lotion bars for my coworkers and friends to choose something.

This year for lack of funds and time, I'm trying to narrow it down to probably one soap and one lip balm.

I definitely should be asking my friends for more feed back!

The other problem is that I just recently have been able to replicate the soaps. I was not good at keeping notes so that was my bad.

My nephew keeps asking me to make a honey with vinegar shampoo bar soap, and I have not been able to.

They do seem excited about the soaps, but so far, they only see different soaps every time I make.
That's why I'm hoping to make like 6 soaps that are more probable to be loved and remake them over and over again

Then I see soaps made with cucumber, carrot, banana, and rice, and I'm wondering if I should try them out

Pine tar I just started making in the last 6 months, and people and myself really like it.

Fragrance and bubbles.

Thank you! That's a good one for sure
