Liquid soap containers turn the color of the soap??
Comments (8)Thanks to all who responded, I thought it was possibly the metal in the containers, but it's most likely the soap from what "Sweeby" says. I'll give the Dial clear liquid a try, it's less expensive than replacing all the containers throughout the house....See MoreBar soap into liquid pump soap
Comments (6)Three decades ago when liquid soap for home use was "new", I would save bar soap slivers and small hotel soaps and make them into liquid hand soap. Now it's less expensive, and less mess, to purchase gallon jugs of liquid soap (Sam's Club and Big Lots are good sources). For foam dispensers I use a 1:3 mixture of liquid soap and water, so we use all foam dispensers for even more savings. The recipe I used is very similar.... Homemade Hand Soap 11 c. water 1 bar soap (or enough slivers to equal the same amount) 1 T. glycerin optional - 10 drops essential oil Grate soap on a box grater, microplane, or in a food processor. Bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add grated soap and stir to a boil. Add grated soap and stir until it melts. Add glycerin. Add remaining water. Once cooled, add essential oils. Let mixture sit overnight. Place 2-cups (at a time) in a blender. Mix well. If you want thicker add 2 more T. glycerin and allow to sit for a few hours. To use in a foam pump dispenser, add 1/4 c. homemade liquid soap and water to fill the bottle. You can add tea tree oil or grapefruit seed extract, or other essential oils like Four Thieves for additional anti-bacterial protection. HOMEMADE BODY WASH 1 c. Suave Shampoo ("flavor" of choice) 1/2 c. water 3 T. table salt or Epsom salts Whisk until frothy. \-Grainlady...See MoreJust made liquid soap for the first time
Comments (3)You could be correct about the glycern. I have made laundry soap from my soap trimmings, and although I didn't try and put it into a pump bottle, it could be considered snotty. When making laundry soap from soap trimmings, the soap is of a cheese consistency on top with the following layers getting more snotty, and then to more watery consistency near the bottom of the mixing container....See MoreDoes anyone recommend a good bar soap for the face?
Comments (46)I found any french mill soap or gel bar works well. Not much of a face make up gal. No reason, pretty even skin tones here. Never cared to cover the freckles. My father was having a heck of a time in his 60's with random itching. Dermatologist suggested he not shower daily and if he needed to, avoid soap of any kind on a daily basis. FF 20 years, I am almost there but took the Docs words to heart. So my face gets washed with the same soap as in my shower which at the moment is a french mill generic. Itching/drying can be brutal with some brands. Ivory was our mainstay growing up but at about 25 it was apparent it was too harsh for my "aging" skin. LOL!! I wouldn't touch anything by Johnson and Johnson. Years ago when taking new baby classes we were told of the fallacy of their "no tears" soap and then the baby powder law suit. Thank the Lord I believed the nurses and not the commercials on these items!!! Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on ME. Never going there!!!...See Morelynninnewmexico
