Humans have been using soap for thousands of years either making it themselves or someone in their village or town would make and sell or barter soap in exchange for something they needed.
It is only since the industrial revolution that soap making has become a big business and all the advertising we see all the time tries to convince us that soap is some magical and complicated product that has to be prepared by scientists in white coats.
The reality is that soap making is a fairly simple process that anybody can do. All you need are some basic ingredients that you can easily obtain locally and some equipment and tools to make your soap but most people would have all the equipment they need in their kitchen.
The difficulty comes from the fact that unlike in previous generations we don’t get the recipes and instructions passed on to us from our parents because our parents were the start of the consumer generation where we buy everything we need and never make anything ourselves anymore.
The art and craft of making soap is a very satisfying and enjoyable thing to do. It is a great way of making gifts for Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries. Hand made soap is always a very popular gift to receive because anything that has been made by hand is considered very special.
You can also make a soap that is exactly what you want using the scents you love and adding moisturisers to make your soap beautiful for your skin. All you need is some guidance and the recipes for the ingredients you will need and how to use them.
