    My sister had been considering making her own soap. She likes to know what types of ingredients she will be coming in contact with.

    I myself didn’t realize the amount of experimentation that was involved trying to find the correct balance.

    How long do you think it would be before my sister would get good at making her own soap? Is it months or even years? Thanks

      There are lots of good recipes she could try here is one Soap Recipe – Green Mint Tea but I think what happens as did with me. I tried a recipe and then wanted to add different oils so that’s when the experimenting began. I think it was a few months and many recipes before I found the one I like to use the most.

    In terms of price, what is the most economic way of making your own soap? Out of that list which is your favorite and for a complete beginner which is the easiest one to make and get into making on a consistent basis?

    That hemp oil one looks pretty cool. Didn’t know that hemp oil could be used for making soap. Looks like you learn something new everyday!

      Prices can definitely vary with oils. I like to use Olive Oil as my main oil, but others will use Canola Oil as it is a fraction of the cost. Canola Oil I also love Hemp oil and have been making a soap with that for many years. For me cost is not so much a factor as the quality of the soap. Here is are a few recipes to try out. Recipes
