This is our first attempt at basic castile soap since our first soap. This turned out pretty good. It doesn't have the same smell as the original (ugly) batch. It is made with Olive Oil, vegetable shortening, coconut oil, sodium hydroxide and water. There are no additives for color or scent.
One thing we learned with this batch is that you can't line your soap mold with brown paper. When you do this the paper becomes one with the soap. It was a mess trying to get all the paper off. I used a steam iron to blow steam on the soap to melt it enough to be able to pull the paper off.
