THis will be a first for me, but after smelling the oils of the evening primrose and peppermint, I am fervently wanting a homemade bar of soap of the same scent. Who here makes this? and advice I would appreciate.

That's neat! I'll have to copy the recipe and give it a try some time. Wonder what kind of reaction happens to make the lye okay for skin once it is incorporated into the soap mixture? Makes me kind of nervous, not knowing much about lye.
So, I just googled lye and answered my own questions, but I also found a really cool soap making site for materials....thesoapbarn.com....pretty neat. Let us know how it goes Juanita! Traci
Thanks everyone ! It is prime herb and wildflower collecting time. I got a porch full of wild herbs hanging upside down already....hubby calls me "witchy woman" I will let you all know the path I choose to take on this project...and thanks again.
