everlasting..... handsoap?

everlasting,

I read in another thread that you make your own handsoap. Can you share the recipe? All soap formulas that I have found still have some sort of chemical that I don't want to deal with. I'd love to hear how you make yours.

any soap must have a fatty acid (oil) and a base (lye) which combination yields a salt called soap .... no chemicals required, unless you're refering to the lye, which is unavoidable .... there's lots of info on the net - try this google
