I made my first sample. I used a melt and pour soap base, so i didn’t make it from complete scratch, but it’s been informative in regards to colorants and scents. It has also been informative about creating a good lather. As you can see, i used too much coloring and i had to use a make shift mold, hence the weird shape. But overall, it turned out decent. I can now tweak the recipe and make a larger batch. BTW…It’s Goats milk soap and this particular sample is lavender in case anyone wants to know.
