| I just found this forum today, just when I was becoming discouraged about making soaps/beauty products.
A friend of mine invited me to a "honey spa" party a few years ago and I was so pleased with the products they offered. I don't know if it is a well known name of the brand, I was under the assumption that she made all of the products and hosted parties to sell her products. But I could be wrong. Anyway, reading the ingrediants on her products I see she used all natural ingreds such as bees wax, goats milk, grapefruit seeds etc. I have searched all over the net trying to find a recipe that doesn't have lye in it. (I have a really hard time using lye and natural in the same breath) I did see an episode on DIY where they made lip balm and scrubs with natural ingreds. I did get the recipes for them, but I would like to know if there is such a thing as natural soap (homemade, not melt and pour) out there that doesn't have lye in it. Thanks for any/all info, I think I'm going to like it here. |
