Last summer, I had made a few batches of soap. I didn't used any soap bases for them. All from scratch and using ingredients. I used a recipe. My very first try was not terrible. The others were a bit better. I know those tries were not selleable. My main problem was to weight the ingredients correctly and the color of the result. It was my first tries, so, I guess that kind of result was to be expected. I used them as hand soap. It was quite effective. I didn't used it any other way and it was doing a good work keeping hands clean.
I decided to try again. I needed to do some more anyway, just to replenish the small stockpile I had.
Here is the result and what I made of it:
I didn't used any recipie but I noted what I used with the quantities. It is creamy. At first, when mixing everything together, I tought it would make a liquid soap. I put it in molds anyway. Of course, an expert could have done better than I had. I am still learning from making soap from scratch. It is where having a class on that specific way of making soap would be useful.
I know I want to master this more quickly. I also am terrible at measuring and weghting ingredients. It get all messed up. I will use this soap as last year batches and think if I will do other soap like that. For sure, it seems so easy on videos and books!
