Home Made Bath Soap.

Last year, my son and daughter in law, took me to several Apple Farms, in Southern California. Each farm had their own gift shop. While roaming around one of them, I noticed a bar of soap, I picked it up and ran my fingers over the edge. I was amazed at how soft and soothing it felt. It had a wonderful aroma too, it was lavender. It contained goat milk and Shea butter. I knew, if I did my homework, I could make this. So began my journey.....
I have been searching and reading, for the past year, how to make soap. I was so intimidated with the ingredient "Lye". I gathered as much information as possible and talked to a few people that have made their own soap. Okay, I can do this.

In the meantime, before I decided to make my own, I ordered several bars of Shea Butter soap, from an online distributor. I was amazed, after several showers using the soap, how soft my skin had become. I didn't need lotion. Before, I would shower and then lather my arms, legs and face with lotion. So, I have discovered, for myself, the Shea Butter leaves my skin feeling so soft, not dry at all.

The most important information I can give you,if you want to make your own soap, and remember, this was my first attempt, I am not an expert, is, do your homework, especially if your using Lye. You can burn and ruin your whole batch. There are plenty of websites that will help you with the recipes, instructions etc.
