Soap?

I scanned back the last few pages and didn't see anything with an obvious title, so forgive me if this is asked to death.

Do any of you make your own soap?   If so, do you have to use glycerin?  Is there a way to make soap with all natural ingredients or do you have to have a compound chemical in it to bind it together? 

ETA:  Oh geez... I just did a differently worded google search that answered my question.  Sorry, and thank you anyway.   I guess glycerin IS natural, but does have synthetic forms.  I'll just keep my eyes peeled for glycerin derived from natural oils.

I have been meaning to make my own soaps but for some reason I'm intimidated by it. Will you keep us posted on your soap making!?

Absolutely!  It'll probably be a few weeks since we're in the process of moving.  But, once we're moved and settled in, then I'll start making them. 

I've never tried, and maybe I'm naive, but it doesn't look TOO hard.  Just a matter of melting glycerin, throwing in some EO and maybe an herb or two.   Pour and cool, right?  lol...  I might be in over my head if it's more involved than that.

You can try using different substances - shea butter comes to mind, as does goat's milk. I know I have seen a book online about all-natural soap making! See if you can find it somewhere, I'm sure it would be SUPER helpful
