Sporkling Posted May 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Actually, I wish to take up soap making. However, I am afraid that there are too much acids involved. Does anyone have any recipe that uses as little of that as possible? Cause I like have the patterns in mind already. I just need the recipe. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissMelsWell Posted May 8, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Most regular soap has lye in it... it is dangrous to make. BUT, Glycerine soaps don't have any caustic chemicals in them and I understand it is easy to make. I think you just buy the glycerine at any craft store, melt it, and add your scents and dyes. Pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporkling Posted May 8, 2008 Author #8 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yes i'm worried about lye. But the glycerine seems safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASOP Posted May 8, 2008 #9 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I have made soap before I bought a block of glycerine at a craft store melt it down and add fragrance oil etc. Its pretty easy its best to get a book on soap making but if your thinking about making soap from scratch (see book) then it gets more involved. The more you make the easier it gets and you can add other soaps to make the colorful etc. Try it its fun.....oh yea with the glycerine it make up a good soapy lather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMelsWell Posted May 8, 2008 #10 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I only warn against making real lye based soap because I had a friend that seriously burned her hand making lye soap. Burned to the point where she requried some fairly extensive plastic surgery to fix it. Stick with the glycerine for decorative and smelly delcious soap. Glycerine is good for your skin anyway... smoove. The lye kind is for serious cleaning. Buy that at the store only. But that's just my humble opinion.

when.i.am.queen. Posted May 11, 2008 #16 Share Posted May 11, 2008 rent fight club...human flesh is best!lol Yeah, I was just thinking that all that talk of lye made my thoughts jump to that. I've bought DIY kits which seem to work, especially if you have your own patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
