I have searched a few message boards and have seen a lot of people talking about whether or not to use Roebic (Lye) in cold process soap making. I still don’t have a definite YES or NO.
So if you have actually used this product and had good results, please reply to my question. Thanks : )

I don’t want to just throw away a whole tree, so I was thinking I’d cut it like firewood and then use the ash as the lye you use in making homemade soap…

would this work? Or is there a specific kind of wood you absolutely have to use?

A good bath can always prove to be relaxing. It is even better if it is combined with fragrances that lift your mood, relax your tired muscles and energize you. Aromatherapy soaps have become more popular than bath oils; they come in pure essential oil base or mixed with other non aromatic but therapeutic herbs. Available in the form of bars, liquids, gels and cleansers, these soaps are the perfect answer for a truly relaxing and rejuvenating bath. Although they cost more than a simple herbal soap, aromatherapy soaps are worth buying. They can be used as daily cleansers or for spapurposes also. Granular aromatic soaps offer exfoliation of the skin.

The soaps are made from natural vegetable oils in which the required essential oil is added for the effect. The vegetable oil is rich in proteins, while the essential oils nurture the body. The essential oils are absorbed by the body through the skin which is more effective than simply inhaling the vapors. Aromatherapy soaps offer advantages and benefits over other soaps on the market. Not all soap is created equal. Pure and natural aromatherapy oils make the difference in skin care, from the condition of the skin to releasing of toxins.The best method that can ensure optimum use of the soaps is to use them under warm water and to let them.

Stay on for atleast a few minutes. Good aromatherapy soaps never have added colors in them and are made from pure essential oils.Other popular varieties of aromatherapy soaps include Patchouli, Ylang Ylang and Chamomile. Different aromatherapy scents have different effects, so choose your scent with that in mind. Lavender aromatherapy scents is mostly use relaxing, calming. Lemon related aromatherapy soap use to mental clarity. Grapefruit aromatherapy soap is mostly use energy. Rosemary use mental clarity Most popular of the aromatic soaps is the lavender soap which is known to lend a soothing.

Handmade glycerine soap is a wonderful experience. All of these glycerine soaps are coloured and scented with cosmetic grade ingredients. Only high quality essential oils and fragrance oils are used to give each soap a wonderful smell. Because all of our soaps are hand cut from the loaf, each slice may vary ever so slightly in the cut weight. The best part is that all of our beautiful glycerine soaps are affordable so don’t be afraid to use them. The first thing you do when shopping for soap is put it to your nose to smell the fragrance. The colors, shapes and sizes are interesting and it’s fun to picture yourself using them.

sginny asked:


I am would like to start making soap as a hobby and I have made a few batches however I would really like to find one that doesn’t involve cocoanut oils or hard to find items such as that.
Does anyone know of a very basic recipe ( web address ) for bar soap that uses ingredients that I do not have to go to a specialty store for?
I am not interested in glycerine soaps either and I do have access to a local dairy farm.

So I can basiclly use any oil such as animal fats, olive oils etc in place of any oil in the recipes as long as it is the same amount??

That would be great.
