Natural Home-made soaps

Isn't is great that our ancient ancestors began the process of

Soap Making

with animal fats and dried herbs and we still enjoy that process today - even in these busy times. While transparent soaps began in the 1700's, the first soaps were made before then. Then in the 1920's people all over the world began obtaining patents for their products. The most famous was Pears.

Even now there are many web sights to choose from for beginners
to advanced soap-makers.

It is very easy to get started, just get a copy of :
Handcrafters Companion

and get tips and tricks on how to get started,
find your perfect recipe, put on your safety
equipment and there you go.  JUST ONE
WORD OF CAUTION : ESSENTIAL OILS ARE CONCENTRATED
SO MIX WITH ANOTHER OIL BEFORE PUTTING ON YOUR
SKIN.STRAIGHT ESSENTIAL OIL CAN BE IRRITATING
IF USED FULL STRENGTH.

ALEC WHITEHOUSE HAS A 20 MINUTE VIDEO AND THE BEST

soap making fun



I also have an expert authors article posted at
Ezine Articles worth reading.



I learned to promote my homemade soapmaking from the best
marketer on the internet- Potpiegirl with her
One Week Marketing Plan, so if you have products
you want to promote, I strongly suggest you use this plan.
It gives you a PEAK AT THE FIRST 18 PAGES FREE.  Once I saw
the first 18 pages, I knew that was the best day-by-day
program for promoting what ever I needed to promote.
Marketing your products is difficult but OWM will show you
what to do each day,where to submit your articles, blogs,
and how to do keyword research.  When you
become a OWM owner, Jennifer will send you a free
ebook on keyword research, Squidoo lense 101 guide (free)
and give you great new suggestions on "how to" make a
successful campaign.


Now, back to soapmaking.  There are kits available for
you to buy so beginners can get everything they need
to get started in pre-measured amounts for the base
of the soap,oils to be used, utensils, a thermometer
etc...
They are inexpensive and the best  way to go.
I didn't have a kit so my first soaps were O.k.
but need improvement. Luckily I found the
handcrafters companion and got more
tips from Simple Soapmaking that comes with a free
report
on the  mistakes that can ruin a batch of soap.

Just do some research on the lingo for soapmaking to learn
what saponification means, tracing, essential oils,
fragrance oils, herbs, colorants, and all the things you
need to make your best batch of soap. Make sure you use
safety equipment.

Another favorite place of mine to submit an article to that
goes straight to the search engines is Qassia.  For $5 one
time registration fee you can write intel (intel is an
article about what you promote),and have people visit
your sight. Links are not allowed in the article body just
like Ezine Articles but you can link to your sight at the
end of your post. After 12 people visit your article,
it becomes published in the search engines and it gives
you another quality backlink to your sight.
Just go to Qassia and join, create your profile with your
pic, write intel, submit, and you have another great place
to promote your soap and spa products.

At Zimbio, they treat a Squidoo lense like a blog so you
can submit there too.

Soap making recipes







What I did in the beginning of soap making was get
some simple recipes for melt and pour recipes,
they are easy and you can use
the soap in a few hours if you wish. You don't
have to wait for them to cure forever. I am impatient
sometimes so instant results are good !!!

Soapmaking is fun, easy and can turn into the best
thing for your health because you have full control
of what you put on your skin, in your hair, on your
face and body. I like being in control of what
I use so I don't purchase bar soap  from the
store anymore. I love the aroma of my own soaps
so stuff in the store just doesn't compare.

My squidoo lense simple soap making at home as a
small few of my favorite recipes. I have many
more I now use.

Benefits of soap making at home :

1.  YOU CONTROL THE INGREDIENTS - MAKING THEM MORE
NATURAL AND     SAFE TO USE

2.  YOU CREATE YOUR OWN UNIQUE BLEND

3.  YOU CONTROL WHAT YOU WANT TO SPEND

4.  THE RECIPE IS PERFECT - YOU MADE IT !!!

Disadvantages:
1. YOU SPEND TIME FINDING THAT PERFECT RECIPE
THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS COME OUT PERFECT.
