Ok, so I wanted to buy grandpa's pine tar liquid soap for my boyfriend. He loves the campfire smell, and it's reeeeally great on the skin. The liquid version, couldn't find anywhere except online. Pricey stuff. So I followed this recipe. Ended up with pine tar water. Added extra tablespoon of veg glycerin. Still watery. Added 2 tsps of pink Himalayan sea salt. Someone suggested salt. Watery. Added 1 Tblspn of castor oil for skin benefits. At this point, the recipe was out the window anyway. Used an emersion blender. Another persons suggestion. I ended up with half foam. Put it in the fridge even though it was pretty cool already. Came back to it. Weird and foamy. Seperated the foam from the gelatinous goop. Two lg pots. Blended the jelly goop. Omg! Perfect creamy texture! Miraculous! Funneled it into an old Jameson whiskey bottle and added a soap pump top. Now what to do with the weird soap foam? 1 cup coconut oil, 2 capsules worth of extra hot cayenne(capsicum), 10 drops of chlorophyll, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup coffee grounds. Blend well, bottle, refrigerate. Best exfoliating, moisturizing, soap scrub I've made yet! BIG FAT MESS INTO MAGIC!!!! Ok, so I wanted to buy grandpa’s pine tar liquid soap for my boyfriend.

I am moving to Brazil in a few months where things like liquid soap seem to be ridiculously over priced. This recipe looks so simple. I'm going to try it out with some gifted, delicious-smelling "artisan" soaps. Thank you! I am moving to Brazil in a few months where things like liquid soap seem to be ridiculously over priced.

However, I cannot wash my hands or body with Ivory due to itching and drying, etc. (Yeah, weird, I know...)I want to make liquid Ivory soap to use in a safe chemical-free garden pesticide recipe I have found. I garden organically and try to keep all known chemicals out to protect the plants and the earthworms (which would both be killed by detergent ingredients...but not soap. So I am very grateful to find your recipe and even if it comes out thin...I think it'll work.Gotta go find more stuff on your site!!! Thanks again.

I, for one, tried making a liquid soap after various requests when I used to sell on the Roanoke City Market. However, it just didn’t sell and it’s more tedious to ship. However, you can create your own liquid soap using your favorite bar of handmade soap courtesy of instructions from Savvy Housekeeping. Simply grate a bar of your favorite handmade soap to yield 1 cup of soap flakes. Add water and a bit of glycerin and get to cooking until your soap flakes dissolve. Then allow to cool and pour into containers. For your full ingredient and material list, along with directions for this project, visit Savvy Housekeeping. And be sure to consider the shea butter soaps available from Rebecca’s Soap Delicatessen for your liquid soap recipe. With one bar of handmade soap and a few other easy to find ingredients, you can also make your own homemade liquid laundry detergent or powdered laundry detergent. .nrelate_related .nr_sponsored{ left:0px !important; } /* Filed Under: Soapmaking Tagged With: budget, budget savvy, crafts, diy, eco-friendly, frugal, handmade soap, homemaking, household, liquid soap, liquid soap recipe, natural, soap, soap recipe, soap tutorial, soapmaking Tweet [...] [...] I have heard that finding a handmade liquid soap is difficult.
