I just found a great soap making site, with tons and tons of information. Its called teachsoap.com. There are all kinds of instructions and recipes, and a great section called Ask Anne-Marie.

Ask Anne-Marie is a treasure-trove of questions and answers about soap-making. I found this site because I was looking for instructions on how much essential oil should be added to a batch of soap. (Anne-Marie recommends starting with 1/2 ounce per pound of soap, but I’m thinking that with something like Rose or Geranium, you’d need way less than that. And remember that when soap makers refer to “ounces” of oil or anything else, they are talking about the WEIGHT, not the volume.)

I’m a melt-and-pour kind of soap maker. Never could get up the nerve to work with lye, since I can be klutzy sometimes.

Anyway, I thought you soap fiends would enjoy the site. There’s also information on the site about pricing and selling your soaps.
