Jennifer haven't ventured into CP soap yet, though I plan on getting the lye this w/e and trying a first batch of it. Now for MP Soap This is really easy to make. Supplies are easy to come by, and you can make this soap around kids, if you put it far away from there reach. Fragrance wise, as long as it says, safe for bath & body or soap, you are good to go! HTH some! Stephanie
