HOW TO MAKE HANDMADE SOAP

Castile soap recipes introduction
Mostly serious soap lovers may say that Castile Soap is the soap which made from 100% olive oil - yeah this can be right...but the soap which made from 100% olive oil gives not good lather...I myself think it's bad T_T

To solve the problem of lather that olive oil produced - blending of oils result in a blend of qualities. So the nice basic soap recipe should contain balancing a blending of oil properties. So now soap makers make "Castile Soap" with the blending of oils as base ingredients for the better result of lather, hardness and more...
