Soap Soap, and more Soap!



As you can see Mouse is ready for his bath, now I just need to make some cat soap.

In September I thought it was about time to move on from melt and pour soap and make some real soap with oil and lye.

The first attempt at soap making I was so nervous but I had a bunch of sunflower oil that I really didn't like (it smells just like sunflower seeds) I needed to get rid of it since it just sitting there, so I added it to a bunch of soy oil, coconut oil, no color or fragrance was used.

The soap came out pretty white which I hadn't expected since i used bunches of yellow oil after many weeks of curing I now love the sunflower oil it left a wonderful light scent to the soap!
