Handmade Lime Soap

I’ve had another go at making soap. This time I made lime-scented bars, using a clear melt and pour base, green colouring, and lime fragrance. 

Soap making

My first attempt at making soap was not good. After attending a taster session held at a local college, I ended up spending a Saturday evening in A&E, followed by a trip to a specialist burns hospital and a visit to a plastic surgeon! Undeterred by this, I was still keen to make my own soap the ‘safe’ way, without using any of the nasty chemicals that can burn your skin.
