I buy duke cannon pine tar soap.
I was buying soap locally, but decided I wanted to try it myself. I bought molds, cutters, oil, lye and went at it. It took me a couple of tries to get a result I like. I have it down now. Problem now is I like making more soap than I can use. I make ten bars at a time and it is warm weather activity for me. 100 degree days work great for warming the oil and cooling the lye mixture.I do my own soap at home. With the lavender essential oil https://volant.dk/ and camomile extract. I tried do make it at first just for fun but after got addicted to it. My skin feels much better than it was when i used the supermarket soap bars.
I use Irish springs bars spread out among my outdoor power equipment in the garage and shed and in my Oldsmobile parked for winter. Apparently mice don't like it. Smells nice and fresh come spring.I use plain old DOVE soap. Use LAVA soap at work as it’s great for degreasing hands.
When I worked at a resteraunt a company used to come and pick up our old deep fry grease. The manager said they use it to make soap.Including the drains. Bar soap seems to harden up there also. I guess it's the fats in the bar soap.
