I’ve wanted to try soap making for some time – I thought about buying a kit, but I wanted to make it now. So I did some research and went shopping for the supplies. I couldn’t find palm oil or coconut oil here in Esperance, so I’m going to have to order them online.
So I did a little more research and found this recipe for Castile Soap – made from purely olive oil.
26 bars of castile soap – now just have to wait for it to cure. Will let you know how it goes. In the mean time I’m going to order some palm oil, coconut oil and some other bits and pieces to make some cold pressed soap.

I can’t wait to hear how your soap turns out.
What an interesting new project. These will make great presents for your family and friends.
Wow, what a lot of work…and fun!
That’s so cool!! Good for you just diving in and going for it 🙂 Looks like you had great success!
Soap, my mother always told me, is the perfect present.
Smells lovely
is useful
and does not last forever
she was around in WW2 when soap was in very short supply.
How clever you are to make it yourself!
I enjoyed making the soap and it has been good for my skin. They will make lovely gifts!
I recently stumbled on your blog. Its amazing to me to see the different processes and creativity each one of us use when making soap. I look forward to hearing about whats next.
