Artisanal Soaps



I bought these wonderful handmade artisanal soaps from a good friend. She taught herself to make them and has no doubt learned a lot.  It required experimenting with recipes and different scents.  It sounds a lot like cooking and of course a lot of work.  I cannot wait to try them.   Do you like soaps?

Congratulation on your new soaps. Enjoy. Home-made soaps are the best! I make my own, and have done so for 8 years now; and I also taught myself (there's a good deal about soaping on my blog actually). I have no more problems with the skin on my hands (Only when I forget to bring my own soap). It's not more difficult than baking a cake from scratch, albeit a bit more care is needed, as lye is very alkaline and hence corrosive. Even the fumes are unpleasant. I make them without scents as it is unnecessary and just another thing to irritate my poor skin (plus it makes for even easier soaping).

Yes, I do love soaps. I've been using a particular soap for years; it's an ayurvedic kind of soap. I buy the mini size which is more expensive, but better retains its beneficial properties.

Will have to stop by and read of your soaping experience!

I LOVE artisinal soaps - At least 35 years ago I would go to a store called Wellspring and buy my favorite soaps and to this day i can't pass up a display selling soaps - always have to stop and check them out. There was a particular sandalwood scent that I would always by. i haven't found it locally where I am but I know it's still being made because I saw some last year in a different city. I would love to learn how to make soaps but I think I'm not motivated enough really to do that.
