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.

    I started making my own soap years ago… for me it was worth it. I didn’t want the anti-bacterial or fragrance in it… used only olive oil (pomace), avocado oil, palm oil and coconut oil with the lye. (though I want to replace the palm oil in my recipe, what I have is supposedly ok environmentally, it is controversial) Check out brambleberry.com and they have a lye calculator and recipes as well.
