I am also a retired chemist & my wife & I taught soapmaking in Panama last November & made soap for a medical mission trip there. Just made some soap from unrefined palm & palm kernel oils - very nice soap. Would be very interested in your experiences in soapmaking in Panama.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03144205998660737465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071109648257327422.post-40540280511242169332013-09-17T02:10:16.435-07:002013-09-17T02:10:16.435-07:00thank you for including me on your blog

The soap seed was planted early in me--my grandmother made honest-to-goodness pork lard lye soap--and I thought it was the best thing in the world. It wasn't fancy, but I thought it was so much better than the store bought stuff--and it was! When she died, I set out to learn how to make soap, minus the pork lard, and haven't stopped since. Obsession is right, for there is no end to scent-design possibilities. I'll stop when I've tried them all. BTW--your soaps make me drool they're so beautiful...Soapin' Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319945263299559871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071109648257327422.post-91004584114604479192013-08-23T16:32:59.037-07:002013-08-23T16:32:59.037-07:00LOL!

With my soap I eliminated my skin allergy. Now I´m selling the product and teaching public about my product.

I started researching how to make cold process soap several years ago after I learned that some gals with curly hair had great success using soap bars instead of detergent based shampoos. I was intrigued with the idea of making soap from scratch when I realized that the detergent based body washes I had been using for years were the explanation for the chronic itchiness of my legs and arms. Once I made that first one pound batch of soap, I was hooked. <br /><br />I enjoy the process of making soap - from formulating my own recipes, to seeing the amazing transformation of oils and lye solution becoming soap, to adding fragrance, color, and texture to the soap, to cutting the log into soap bars.<br /><br />It is so satisfying to hear a friend, family member, or customer rave about how wonderful my soaps are to use. So I make more soap!Eweniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15417856566873072340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071109648257327422.post-54625227054509971462013-08-22T00:23:15.839-07:002013-08-22T00:23:15.839-07:00Thank you Erin for sharing my soap story :-) .
