Crock Pot Soap

I decided to make soap! We have been buying hand-made soap for well over a year now; it is not cheap, more like a little luxury for the end of the day. So, now that I'm an official Domestic Goddess, why not make my own? Recipes abound on the internet, plus I bought (and read) a nice soap making book. Being the rather impatient person I am, I decided on the hot process method that I could cook up in the crock pot and use right away. Here it is.



I am most happy with it, and so is hubby. I used olive, coconut, jojoba, safflower and sweet almond oils. The fragrance oils are clary sage and rosemary, not because I love those smells but because those oils are good for the hair and skin. I have used this on both hair and body and it is very moisturizing, leaving my skin smooth and soft, hair full and fluffy. The recipe yielded several pounds, or eleven good sized bars.

I can't wait to do it again. I have supplies on order. This time, I'm going for the yummy smells: patchouli, lavender/rose and vanilla spice. If you know me, expect a bar some time soon!
