I make all our soap and toiletries. I like the hot process method. Too impatient to let it age and hot process you get to use it sooner.
"Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed." Ps 57:1
"Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. " Eph 5:15,16
"Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard" 2 Kings 19:6

Is it cost effective to make soap homemade? I really want to learn how to do this but it seems to me that it may be expensive. What do you think? I have been trying to eliminate toxins in our house, I have switched to natural homemade cleaners and I have been experimenting with my own homemade shampoo but the castile soap I use to make it is expensive! All natural soaps are expensive......... So is it more affordable to make myself.

Before I forget, here's the old Walton's site links on soapmaking.
They are a wealth of good info, but only found on the "Wayback Machine"'s archives now.

Look how often the unexpected happens... and we still don't expect it.

Yes, it is very cost effective to make your own soap. Of course that is not true if you insist on expensive essential oils and fancy stuff. I normally use plain old shortening and lye. It works well for everything. I even shampoo our hair with it. The same soap washes dishes and I use it in the laundry along with borax and washing soda. I cannot use any commercial laundry detergents, shampoo or soap because of allergies.
