Greetings from the land of OZ.
I am very new to soap making(and this forum) and am happy to say I made my 2nd batch of soap yesterday.
For all the beginners out there, here is a link to the first batch I tried with no probs.
There are 3 recipes here. I used the one with the least ingredients :)

https://www.escentialsofaustralia.com/recipe_cpsoap.php

As most newbies, I was petrified of using sodium hydroxide. After the first batch, I wondered why I'd been so petrified!!!LOL

My second batch, I used goatsmilk and was worried about burning it. I froze it and broke it into tiny chunks before adding the lye. I am proud to say that the result is a very rich creamy coloured soap.

Welcome! Thanks for the link.
I am still pondering on how to go about making my first batch. I tend to over analyze things. :D

I was truly mortified at the thought of getting burnt with lye. I just make sure my bottle of vinegar is on hand (just in case).
As long as all your body is covered and you've got goggles, there will be no prob.
Once you've jumped that hurdle, you will wonder what all the stress was for. If I can do it, YOU CAN!!! :)

Hi Mystique, well done on taking the plunge! Thanks for the link I have saved it as a favourite site as it's so nice to have things in grams instead of ounces and Australia product names.

Where in Australia are you? Have you tried the fragrances on that website - I can't believe they are only $2! I must say I love my Bramble Berry fragrances though.

Welcome to Teach Soap forum!

Hi Mystique

Congratulations on your batches of cp.

I too am in Melbourne - and Miss Savon also is in Melbourne also.

Welcome Mystique, the ladies and gentlemen are so kind on this forum and very patient, they help as much as they can and you will really enjoy being part of the forum.

I will post a photo soon everyone of my attempts - I did it with copha and I have been making balls too. I have just swapped from an ibm to a mac and cant find anything on the desktop! So as soon as I have an idea I will share with you. Its always nice to see someone elses first go too.

Again welcome
Jo

Thanks to everyone for the welcome.
Curlycoat, I am in Cranbourne but know Moorabbin well. I went to OLSH, many, many, moons ago.

My lovely creamy coloured soap has turned to a caramel colour now that it has dried. :cry: I was really proud up until that moment.LOL
It still looks good tho....can't wait to test it out :)
