Anyone into soapmaking and how do you make them-melt and pour or cold-processing? I make mine using the melt and pour technique.
I have never made soap, but this sounds interesting.
If you are interested in making soap,try going to a craft store such as AC Moore or Michaels for soapmaking kits and books.If they don't have anything,try an online store such as Brambleberry.If you turn your hobby into a business,try joining the Handcrafted soapmakers Guild.
Cold process, makes great soaps just like the old days. The skill is in understanding the various oils/butters and their characteristics. For example, coconut oil will lather even in salt water but is very mean to the skin (drying).
I don't know about soapmakers? There's a couple that i'd say are soap-dodgers though!
Love home made soap for all the stuff that is NOT in it like commercial soaps.
