I’ve let go of liquid soaps in the last few years and opted to used classic solid soaps for my hygiene but between trendy scents or seasonal supply I haven’t been able to find a soap I can stay with.
This led me to consider making my own soap but is it worth it?
Artisanal soaps are expensive and hard to find in my country and mostly pass the notion they are targetting luxury customers and not making something for everyone to use and enjoy and trying to make an effort to create change.
I am aware initial costs have to be considered and that there is a learning to it.
It might be fun, but it is only cheaper in the long run if you consider your time to be worth nothing.
If it IS fun for you though, I’d suggest it is far more valuable to you than the soap itself and/or any savings.
My time is priceless. So priceless that I run out of it even if I try to save it. Time is the least concern I have.
Putting this on a poster at work…
Photo or it did not happen.
I demand a primitive cave drawing. Otherwise, it didn’t happen
Agreed. Let us get primal!
Soap making involves very little time investment. There is a long drying time (weeks to months) but you can spend that time on other things 🙂
“oh no I’ve run out of soap and forgot to make more. See you in 5 months, shower” - my autistic ass
I did this once with pickles. Ran out for a month, then made more pickles than anyone should ever eat.
And now you are in a pickle?
I was!
You shower with pickles?
Gotta, at this point
I dill not see that coming.
…I’ll show myself out.
Meanwhile, I’m thinking I’m going to make a different batch every two weeks to have enough soap to gift.
that’s true for every home chore though
