How to Make Organic Soap Bars

Make your own organic soap at home instead of purchasing commercial soaps.

Organic soap recipes vary according to personal preference and tastes, but all the recipes consist of a soap base combined with organic and all-natural ingredients. Ingredients like oatmeal soothe and exfoliate rough skin, while goat milk adds a natural cleanser and treats acne. Making your own organic soap bars can turn into a fun hobby or even a business if you master the basics of soap making.
