Our latest blog post is live and is all about making soaps for ourselves. You can read the full blog post and many others (as I have been blogging since 2015) at : https://www.reddirtroad.life/makingsoapforourselves/
For many years we have been making our own soap. Kind of. We’d buy melt and pour soap from an Australian soap supplies company and then we’d add our lovely herbal concoctions from the garden and natural scents so we can enjoy a unique lather of lovely suds. This way we know what goes into our soaps and that its all natural for our skin and palm oil free.
It’s also so nice to make and to give as gifts when there are birthdays and other events. I always like having a nice gift on hand for when someone pops in for a cuppa and theres a special occasion.
If you can't find the time to make soap yourself from scratch, maybe it’s time to look around at your local makers and see which ones offer low waste products like laundry soap, shampoo bars and nice shower soaps. Buying local is nearly as sustainable as making them yourself.
