Difficulty: intermediate Time: 1 1/2 hours Yields: 5 bars/cups My name is Amanda Griffin and I am a soap maker living in Grand Prairie, TX. My passion is sharing, talking and teaching the craft of soap making in the classroom, on my blog ( www.lovinsoap.com ) and in my eZine, Lovin’ Soap . One of the best things about soap making is being a part of the soaping community. Whether it’s on a forum, at a meet-up, at a conference or at a local supply shop; soap makers are some of the most passionate, creative and caring people I have ever met. I’m truly grateful to be a part of this amazing community of crafters.

Loofah Cold Process Soap Tutorial
Difficulty: Easy Time: 1 hour Yields: 9 bars Loofah soap can be super scrubby on the skin. I designed this recipe with a mild scrub in mind. This recipe is great because it has a nice gentle scrub on one side of the soap and it’s silky smooth on the other. Plus the fragrance combination of Pomegranate and Mint is positively swoon-worthy.

Check out Soap Queen TV on Cold Process if you want to get started with cold process. It’s a 4 part series that will take you through the basics (and be sure to watch the episode on Lye Safety ). If you’re a book worm, Bramble Berry also has some helpful reading on the cold process technique. Recipe
