I made bath soap yesterday and wanted to share it with you. The first time I made it I was so nervous that I didn't take any pictures or anything! This time I took pictures after I cut the bars, maybe next time I will take pictures during the soap making process. If I remember! This is the only bath soap recipe that I have tried at this point, but I have made shampoo and soap for cleaning the house and doing laundry. This recipe comes from "The Natural Soap Book", by Susan Miller Cavitch. Making soap was very intimidating to me but it's really not hard at all! I hope that you will try making soap, my family has loved it!

2 pounds 8 ounces coconut oil
