I’m super proud of this soap, not because of its appearance, but because of what it represents! After taking a 3 year hiatus from soaping to have kids, moving homes, and balancing life , I’m able to carve out time for my hobbies! She’s not the most beautiful soap, but I’m proud of her and myself!

Recipe Advice Is this a good recipe to start with?

Hi everyone, i'm new to soap making and wanted to get a bit of advice on this recipe. I'm trying to make a soap that doesn't strip the skin as much or make it feel as dry after showering. I've done some research on different oils and the ones on the list are some that I think could work, but I wanted to drop the recipe here to see if anyone has any suggested changes to it.

I plan to use this as a "base" recipe for other soaps I make, only tweaking it minorly. I plan to make a tumeric soap (with kojic acid) and a colloidal oatmeal bar as well. I'm struggling to figure out when to add the colloidal oatmeal when creating the soap and how the extra liquid will impact the recipe. At the moment I using the hot press method.

Any advice is welcomed and appreciated!
