A Soapmaker's Kitchen
For the very first batch of soap I ever made, I had:
| Consumables | Implements |
| Lard Red Devil brand Lye Distilled Water |
Stainless steel 12 qt. broth pot Stainless steel 6 qt. mixing bowl Wooden Spoons Vinyl Gutter to use for a mold Rubber Spatula Protective Eye Goggles Canvas Apron Plastic 3 liter Rubbermaid pitcher for lye-water mixing |
So you can see, it doesn't take very much to get started. Now, of course, I have reverted to my regular pack-rat modus operandi, and if I had to list everything I own for soapmaking I'm afraid it would take pages and pages and you'd get very bored and send me hate mail. :) So let me see if I can distill it down a bit.
| Consumables | Implements |
| Olive Oil (Pomace) Palm Oil Coconut Oil (76-degree) Sweet Almond Oil Cocoa Butter Soybean Oil (Crisco) Castor Oil Jojoba oil Avocado oil Apricot Kernel oil Various essential oils Various fragrance oils Various dried and powdered herbs Sodium Hydroxide Distilled water Powdered and canned goats milk Clear Melt & Pour soap base Colorings for M&P Mica!! Lots and lots of mica Powdered loofah |
