Comments

Pam told us she often uses this basic recipe and then throws in her own touches with the essential oil blend and the ground chamomile. It's her very favorite soap, it has a nice creamy lather and a wonderful aroma. Pam has been making this bar for 2 years now and from what we hear it's hard to get her out of the shower.

This recipe was the winner from a swap hosted by Majestic Mountain Sage in 2000.

Yield

Makes 6.7 pounds of soap.
