what kinds of things are in your soap? I bought several varieties of soap at Target today, because my hands are cracked and raw and I am trying to use a very gentle soap on them.
It is homemade Lye soap. I use different oils & Lye. This batch has Lard, Olive oil, coconut oil. I really like it & DH with the sensitive skin likes it. It also seems to be helping my oily face. I will be glad to let you try some the next time I come that way to go to an auction.
I would like to try some that has lots of oils in it. I remember making lye soap with my grandmother - we used the rendered grease she had been saving all year long. It was great soap for preventing poison ivy, but it didn't smell very good.
