Mella, I use lard in at least 80% of my soaps. Started because it was inexpensive, but stayed with it because I like the bar of soap it makes. Sometimes I think it takes me back to the roots of soap making when they had to use what was available to them. A lot of the original soapers were recycling way back then! I have a few friends that are vegetarians and for them will do an occasional batch with all vegie oils. I think it is worth being on your to try list.

Suzanne those are lovely soaps! The color goes with the fragrance absolutely perfect, and summer is grand for cuke and coconut. I'll be waiting to hear how you like the lard soaps! If you were making a 1 lb batch of oils, what is the minimum and maximum for lard if you don't mind?

Very nice Suzanne!

ljm thank you for sharing your recipes. Next trip to town I'll get some lard from the grocery and see what I can come up with. Oh fun this has advanced on my list!

Mella, I made it with 100% lard. I wanted to see what that was like before I started designing recipes. Coconut and olive are my main basic oils usually, but I also like corn oil and RBO, in small amounts.

Suzanne, what pretty soaps! I really like the look, almost leaf like. The color is nice and summerish too!

Match that up with a patch fragrance and I will think that I am back in the 60's. Great job Cat!
