Baby Soap?

 Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Soap

I think I'm ready to start making soap again. I took a hiatus when I was pregnant (can't be breathing in those lye fumes) and sort of stopped after the baby. I also need to get my marketing a bit more together if I want to sell it. I really enjoy making soap, so I may just continue on to give it as gifts.

Citrus Soap, my favorite

One thing I do want to do differently is to use only natural ingredients. I already use about 98% natural ingredients in most of the soaps, but I was using fragrance oil for the scents. Fragrance oil is not natural and I actually don't even know what's in it (they won't tell you what's in it). There are benefits to using fragrance oil, the main one is that there are so many more scents available. It's also cheaper (not by a lot), but that's always nice too. But I've decided that I switching to all essential oils. All my soaps will be 100% (and I'm going to shoot for organic too). I will have a more limited range of scents to chose from, but they will smell more authentic and not so overwhelming and perfumy (as they tend to be with fragrance oil).

Lavender Soap

What brought this on is that I think I want to make baby soap. I have a baby soap that I like, but it's fairly pricey and I would rather use my own if I can. I can't really find any recipes for baby soap though. I've been to all my usual places, but none seem to have a soap specifically for babies. Maybe everyone uses the liquid? I think I'm going to have to make my own. I've been trying to decide what to put in it, but I think the less ingredients I have the better. It's going to be mostly olive oil, and maybe two more oils for hardening and bubbles. I think I want to stick to unscented, but I'm not sure.
