Hi!
I'm interested in 'making' my own olive oil soap. Now I don't want to do it all from scratch - seems rather dangerous- (and seen as I live in Spain) I bought some big bars of natural olive oil soap and now want to 'hand mill' it and add various essential oils to the soap. Has anyone done this before and if so, could you share any tips?
Thanks, Leigh:)

Hi
Ive been interested in making my own soaps for sometime, but have been put off, some of the ingredients to the recipes can be scary. But thanks hemelgirl, i have had a look on that site and there is a soapmakers starter pack which looks good.
Hi Leigh,
I tried breaking down some blocks of soap once, grating and reconsituting.....:eek:, was very unsuccessful for me....but I really didnt know what I was doing!
Hope you're creativity flows well, and let us know how you get on with it?
Yes, great site!!- will look into it a bit further.
Will let you know how the experiment goes- should have some time this weekend to give it a bash.;)

I can recommend www.thesoapkitchen.co.uk who can supply everything to make your own soap or ready made base which you can add your own choice of ingredients. The best soap is the 'cold process' soap which, yes, does involve some nasty ingredients, but with care and some chemicial reactions makes a really lovely soap. I made my first soap years ago, and had to import stuff from America as I couldn't find a supplier here.
