In reply to Susan.

I made this and put it into a foaming bottle. Works very well.

In reply to Twila. Hi Twila, it could be either the lye or the peppermint. You can get pH strips and test the soap, it should be around a 8-10 pH, any higher than that and there is too much lye.

Hello
I’m new at making soap.
Made my 1st batch. Nice and creamy but it stings a but on my skin.
Could it be because I used a bit too much lye or maybe it’s the combination of lye and adding peppermint?

Carrageenan is not a safe additive for thickener .. just a FYI.

Hi Stephanie,

I want to try this recipe. How important is it to use a glass bottle for the soap?
Thanks,
Suzanne
