I’ve always wanted to make a creamy, white/ivory soap — to remind me of the days of Ivory Soap. I loved Ivory Soap as a kid, and it will always have a special place in my . So, for my first soap of 2009, I decided to make my wish come true. Coming off a two-month no-soaping vacation, I was very eager to get back on “my soap box”.

RTCP (heat transfer), cuz I was not about to wait for lye water to cool down. I was ready to get the batter in the mold, and wait for the magic! It was, I must say, truly…magical.

My soap doesn’t “float” (and won’t be as drying as real Ivory Soap), but it’s pure soapy goodness: Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Olive Oil, Rice Bran Oil and Castor Oil. No scent. No color. It has a fresh, clean, “soapy” smell, and I can’t wait to get it in the shower.
