I would have taken the cop out way by simply googling "how to make liquid soap." Funny, because I just bookmarked a webpage today, with recipes for making laundry soaps. I used to make my own bar soap, but that's as far as I ever got with soapmaking. (Because I discovered spinning, and all else was left by the wayside.)

You made it work! We've tried it a couple of times - with just the end nubs of soap which get left over, you know - and it's never turned out anywhere near a success ... always just a bit of strange gelatinous goo along with excess water. Glad you succeeded! But what happened to the soap in the pretty bottle? ;) Wow! You made it work!

We make our own here from scratch. Olive oil is great for dry skin, avocado even better. Adding zest of organic lemon, lime or orange gives it a lovely texture. Honey is a humectant (attracts and retains moisture), it makes soap a bit soft, but adding a bit of bees wax remedies this. I'm lucky enough to have my own bee hives so I use my own ingredients, I also make soap using some of our goats milk. http://sallygardens.typepad.com/sallygardens/2007/05/lathered_up.html I've not tried liquid soap before, a mild version could be used as shampoo I love home made soap.

Wonder what's with the lack of glycerin over there? Neat idea, even if it did take a few trys. Wonder what’s with the lack of glycerin over there?

The whole bar soap thing wouldn't fly around here either (deleted perfectly stupid joke because it made even me groan). Way to persevere!

Had to see what happened next! You were stubborn and it looks like it paid off! (how is it working days later?) So what did you do with the un-lovely to look at batches?
