Celebrating Handmade Soap With Making Soap Magazine

Celebrating Handmade Soap With Making Soap Magazine | Growing Up Herbal | Do you love handmade soap? This magazine is probably for you then!

My friend’s mom was into all things natural. She cooked healthy foods, grew a garden, had goats and chickens, sewed beautiful clothing, lived way up on a mountain, decorated with handmade and made all their skin care products from scratch. As a teenager, she took me under her wing, and I will be forever grateful for the lessons she taught me. She was, and still is, a HUGE influence in my life. 

One of the things she taught me was how to make homemade goat milk soap. It was one of the first handmade things I’d ever made, and I remember being amazed that you could mix oils, goat’s milk, lye, water, and essential oils together and end up with beautiful, creamy, all natural, so good for you, soap. The process seemed complicated that first time, and I thought that making soap was something that I’d never be able to do by myself.

Well, in hindsight, it wasn’t as complicated as I first thought, and it was definitely something I could do myself. At Making Soap Magazine, being a beginner and not know where to start is something they know all about.
