Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Hi All: I know that Dr. Bronner's does not use organically grown herbs, but I would like to know if anybody knows how to make this from scratch, using my own organic mints. I wish this were a certified Organic product but it is not. I love this scent, also. The label says that it is made of: Water, saponified Coconut-Hemp-Olive Oils (with retained Glycerin), Olive fatty acids, Peppermint Oil, Rosemary extract. Does anyone know how to make it?

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Skippy Make soap with the ingredients you desire (organic oils and herbs) is the question how to make soap there are many urls to explain this in detail! I make herbal soaps and struggle with ingredients and the end results. Essential oils and not the herbs (Peppermint) are generally used in most (not mine ). Dose anyone know of an organic source for these! I use what I feel is a good source but am not sure. I make a Bear soap for the locals here its you guessed it made from bear fat! There are many hunters of bear and last year one group killed 33 of them! I would imagine this source is the cleanest (un touched by man) but still animal and not everyone's thing. I am vary excited about this group and just finished lessoning to the tape you sent me Doc. Thank you so much for sharing! I will be sending you a thank you gift!

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Yes, it is a fairly easy process to make soap, but it sure would be easier to show you. Have you made soap before or know someone where you are that makes soap? Most anyone that makes their own soap would probably do this for you. Go to your public library and check out soapmaking books or go to the store and look at them. Patty in Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Wow, Bear soap?! Sounds marvelous. Do you sell this stuff? I use Dr. Bronners and really love it. Have tried to make soap and failed miserably, but hate store stuff. Too chemically and slimy! Any URL's you recommend?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Trinity Herbs in California has a great selection of organic oils -- they aren't online, though. They have a site, but it's only to order the catalog. They have a great customer service department and any questions you might have are quickly answered. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 I signed up for a class at the local leisure center but they didn't have enough participants so they cancelled it. I have checked out books and even bought one, but they have intimidated me more than before, the lye part makes me really nervous and they stress that quite a bit. You should put out a video! Anything on the web like that? Carlin in SC herbal remedies, seifert925@c... wrote: > Yes, it is a fairly easy process to make soap, but it sure would be easier to > show you.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Dear Justine, Perhaps you could do a series of articles on the list. This would be great data and especially the ones on "How to whup up a batch in the Kitchen sink" kinda articles. I'd love to post the articles in the files in the "How to" section.
