nayarx8 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Ok, so ive been thinking about doing CP for a long time now. Obviously, Im very concerned about working with lye (especially around my 11 month daughter), but yesterday I was doing some research (4 hours worth last night!) on HP soap. I got to thinking that it might be a better method for me because I can pretty much do everything after my daugher goes to bed w/o any interruptions. Then, after looking at the Brambleberry site, I saw that they had some rebatching soap. Would this be a decent thing to experiment with at first? I know its technically not as rewarding as DIY, but so far all ive done is M&P. Im wanting to make a castile soap for my daugher and was curious if I bought some of the castile rebatching soap from Brambleberry would be a good "substitute" for the real thing? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks so much, Linaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Eugenia put a recipe up for "basically castile" that is 90% Olive Oil and 10% Castor Oil. This was my first CP (actually I did it HP & CP - still waiting for the cure to be over before I decide which I lie better).It's really easy to do your own - don't know the benefit of rebatching, wouldn't that just be like M&P?

nayarx8 Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 I was thinking about trying Eugenia's recipe for the castile soap; just not sure about having lye around the house right now. I know that I can get a M&P castile base, and a rebatching castile base; which do you think would be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Rebatching is basically CP soap that you shred up, add a touch more liquid and remold.....Brambleberry just makes it a little easier for you. M&P isn't even close to the quality of rebatched CP soap. M&P is loaded with surfecants and chemicals.Give it a try.....it's as close to making your own CP as you can get without being to time consuming. Have fun!!

nayarx8 Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Thanks Chris! Time (and safety) is really of the essence now that my daughter started crawling last weekend. Dont have alot of time to spend on my projects lately:( . Now, if I could only get the rebatch soap delivered before the weekend (which is a long shot); I'd be very happy!

ChrisR Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I don't think you'll get it by this weekend, but maybe next.....you're closer to them than I am!! Also, if you have ANY questions, email Anne Marie, she's a peach and VERY helpful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
