Hi

In general I am looking to start making soap with all natural ingredients... shea, cocoa butter, vegetable oils etc. I am also trying not to be too complicated. Can I do this with M&P bases or should I start of will cold pressed? I want these bars to be very good for the skin and very moisturizing at the same time. I'm not that interested in them being 'pretty' but I do want them to smell nice.

There are some organic soap bases (SFIC comes to mind, I believe BrambleBerry carries this) available. If you are going "all natural", then I'd use some essential oils and make sure that they are "all natural" and don't contain any pthalates. If you've never made soap before, it might be wise to start with MP.

I would start with MP as you don't have to worry about lye. Learn all you can about base oils ie: soapmaking oils; what they do, how they react with each other, which is a soft oil or which is a hard oil in soapmaking. When you get comfortable, play around with a lye calculator.

Thank you both. I'll look into that. I really just want a nice product to go along with our shea body butters that we make now. They are really simple with organic shea, grapeseed oil, cornstarch and scent, but they whip up real nice and people seem to love them.

I just bought my first kit from brambleberry.com. I wanted to start out fun and easy so I got the swirl kit. I also got some glitter and I'm hoping I can put that in there somewhere too.... One thing that blew me away was the shipping cost.... wow. It was high, and I almost decided against it, but went ahead with it anyway....
