Banana Soap Recipe

 
   ~ Hello everyone! I am so excited because I would like to share this wonderful recipe with you. This recipe is a cold process soap recipe and I love it. It has a pleasant scent to it. And this is a delight for all of those Banana Lover's out there! This soap feels so good to the skin and it doesn't leave the skin feeling dry like some other soaps. This is a great soap to give as a gift or keep for yourself or you can have it for your guests! 
Follow the basic cold process instructions for milk soaps mixing the milk and lye as usual (mixture will turn orange), add the oils at a slightly warmer temperature 150 degrees - 170 degrees to the milk/lye mixture and at trace, add the other ingredients. This soap has a long shelf life. ~

  2. Some items can be found at your grocery store and some at a crafts store and some might have to ordered online. I order most of my products online. Its easier for me that way. Like the essential oils and fragrance oils, butters, Sodium Hydroxide (Lye), etc.
