      How would you have to modify the process to make liquid soap, like Dr Bronners, and skip the molds?

      I started making soap in 2016 just to see if I could figure it out. Now I’m pretty good at it and have a lot of fun with different colors and smells. I normally don’t use 100% olive oil, though. An equal-parts mixture of Canola, Olive, and Coconut oil is what I try to use, but I’ve also had good luck with “whatever cooking oil I have on hand”.

    Good luck with that. My daughter and I frequent antique malls and flea markets and there is stall after stall full of handmade soap and candles.

    ngl, that’s kinda cool. Fat/oil is the primary ingredient in soap, and the process is not difficult, so if you’ve got a lot you were just going to throw away, may as well.

    I wonder if it smells like bacon…
