Question by daydreamer: anyone know a good homemade bar soap recipe?
I would like to start to make my own bar soap I found some recipes on ask.com but there aren’t any reviews that I could see. I am looking for an easy bar soap to make since it will be my first time. Also if you know a good website or place to get the oils / scents for the soap that info would be great too.

Coconut Soaps And Lotions Utilize Local Hawaiian Ingredients

Even though you might not be able to take a vacation to Hawaii right not, you can still enjoy the scents of the islands when you use island soap that originates from there. The best is the homemade natural soap and lotions that are processed on the islands, because they often feature ingredients from the Hawaiian Islands such as jasmine, mango, guava, coconut and pineapple, among others. No matter if you cannot get away and travel to the Islands right now, because you can always take a break by using island soap and other Hawaiian products in the shower and bath.

Emollient products are popular in warm climates such as Hawaii has because they are used to soothe and smooth skin, and protect it from damage from the sun as well as the water. Hawaiian lotion and surfer salve are two skin care products that have as a main ingredient a product that is commonly grown on Hawaii, namely the coconut. Oil is extracted from the coconut, which is then used in the production of coconut soaps, Hawaiian lotion and surfer salve to add a moisturizing element to the final products.

Glycerin soaps are also popular with Island manufacturers and customers alike, and for good reason. Glycerin is a readily available ingredient in the Hawaiian Islands because it is a byproduct of processing coconut oil. Because of this, and glycerin’s ability to soften dry skin, you will find a wide variety of glycerin soaps made in the Islands. Glycerin soaps may feature the traditional coconut scent, or other floral or fruit fragrances.

The best island soap is homemade natural soap because it is manufactured with care in small quantities, so you are sure of getting the highest quality product that offers the distinctive scents of the Hawaiian Islands that are so popular. Handmade products from the Islands are also sold locally as well as online, and help to provide jobs to locals in Hawaii, so when you make a purchase you can feel good knowing that you are helping the local economy there as well.

Island soap makes a great gift for yourself, your friends and family members. For all those upcoming birthdays, graduations and all types of celebrations, it is handy to be able to find a relatively inexpensive gift that is unique and sure to make your recipient happy, and soaps and lotions from the Hawaiian Islands will do just that. These bath and beauty products are available from better online Hawaiian soap merchants.

Go figure: free, cooked-to-order breakfast that has everything you could imagine available in a beautiful atrium, very nice two room suite, but if I want a bottle of water, it’s four bucks? Hmmmmmm . . . I think I’ll pass. It was fun messing around with the self-timer and my new Gorillapod tripod, though!

A TERRE
(Being the philosophy of many Soldiers.)

Sit on the bed; I’m blind, and three parts shell,
Be careful; can’t shake hands now; never shall.
Both arms have mutinied against me — brutes.
My fingers fidget like ten idle brats.
I tried to peg out soldierly — no use!

One dies of war like any old disease.
This bandage feels like pennies on my eyes.
I have my medals? — Discs to make eyes close.
My glorious ribbons? — Ripped from my own back
In scarlet shreds. (That’s for your poetry book.)

A short life and a merry one, my brick!
We used to say we’d hate to live dead old, –
Yet now . . . I’d willingly be puffy, bald,
And patriotic. Buffers catch from boys
At least the jokes hurled at them. I suppose
Little I’d ever teach a son, but hitting,
Shooting, war, hunting, all the arts of hurting.
Well, that’s what I learnt, — that, and making money.
Your fifty years ahead seem none too many?
Tell me how long I’ve got? God! For one year
To help myself to nothing more than air!

One Spring! Is one too good to spare, too long?
Spring wind would work its own way to my lung,
And grow me legs as quick as lilac-shoots.
My servant’s lamed, but listen how he shouts!
When I’m lugged out, he’ll still be good for that.

Here in this mummy-case, you know, I’ve thought
How well I might have swept his floors for ever,
I’d ask no night off when the bustle’s over,
Enjoying so the dirt. Who’s prejudiced
Against a grimed hand when his own’s quite dust,
Less live than specks that in the sun-shafts turn,
Less warm than dust that mixes with arms’ tan?

I’d love to be a sweep, now, black as Town,
Yes, or a muckman. Must I be his load?
O Life, Life, let me breathe, — a dug-out rat!
Not worse than ours the existences rats lead –
Nosing along at night down some safe vat,
They find a shell-proof home before they rot.

Dead men may envy living mites in cheese,
Or good germs even. Microbes have their joys,
And subdivide, and never come to death,
Certainly flowers have the easiest time on earth.
"I shall be one with nature, herb, and stone."
Shelley would tell me. Shelley would be stunned;
The dullest Tommy hugs that fancy now.
"Pushing up daisies," is their creed, you know.
To grain, then, go my fat, to buds my sap,
For all the usefulness there is in soap.

D’you think the Boche will ever stew man-soup?
Some day, no doubt, if . . .
Friend, be very sure
I shall be better off with plants that share
More peaceably the meadow and the shower.

Soft rains will touch me, — as they could touch once,
And nothing but the sun shall make me ware.
Your guns may crash around me. I’ll not hear;
Or, if I wince, I shall not know I wince.

Don’t take my soul’s poor comfort for your jest.
Soldiers may grow a soul when turned to fronds,
But here the thing’s best left at home with friends.

My soul’s a little grief, grappling your chest,
To climb your throat on sobs; easily chased
On other sighs and wiped by fresher winds.
Carry my crying spirit till it’s weaned
To do without what blood remained these wounds.

(Wilfred Owen)

Starting a Soap Making Business — 3 Tips

Edit Article |

Posted: Aug 22, 2009 |Comments: 0

]]>

Starting a soap making business is just about as easy and fast as starting a business can be. But, is it a waste of time or can you really make money? Well, it all depends. My family started a little home-based soap business and made and sold over 35,000 bars of soap over about a four year period. Mind you, this was just a little kitchen scale part-time venture. Maybe you could do a lot better. Here are three real tricks…

Practice first…

Let’s face it. A soap business is both a manufacturing and marketing business. You build a product and then market it. So, first you need a manufacturing process and product design that are just right. What’s that mean? Make plenty of soap so you have the soap recipes and process just right before you start thinking about making lots of money. OK?

Unique sells.

Lots of people make soap. Why should anyone buy from you? Well, maybe you’re the only one they know of that has any handcrafted soap. Not likely. In that case, is there something that you can do that makes your soap different from other handcrafted soap? I guarantee you there is. You could have all natural scents, unique color marbling, all organic, milk soap, special shapes… and so forth. Find a way to make it unique. Tell your story.

Plan for repeat sales.

Getting a customer is the hard part. Repeat sales are the key to real success. Set up your business to get those easy repeat sales. Most soap makers won’t do it. How do you get repeat sales? Easy… Brochures, catalogs, websites, business cards, toll free numbers. None of this is hard. It just takes planning.

Starting a soap business is easy to do. Making it profitable is too, but it takes some thought and planning. Without the plan, you may waste both time and money too.
