Modern soapmaking methods and techniques have reduced the time it takes to craft cold-processed soaps to about an hour or less, with the exception of the time it takes to cure. This includes milk-based formulations, like goat’s milk. So, in the time it takes to prepare an evening meal, you can make enough soap to last your family an entire year. And, if you’re anything like other soapmakers, you will be compelled to share your products with extended family and friends. The benefits are undeniable. You will experiment with different oils and butters, colors, exfoliants and other useful additives, make soap for holidays and special occasions, perhaps sell your wares at craft shows or flea markets, and you will hand them out to everyone willing to try them. Before you know it, you will have requests for more. How neat is that?
