Welcome to newly arriving members. Will you take a moment to drop us a line?

- Where you from?

- Do you make soap right now? If so, what kinds? what do you like?

- If not, are you interested and researching, or just here for the soap pr0n? Which is fine too.

- Any burning questions? (One free newbie q per introduction!)

I know this is an old post, but I thought I'd say hi anyway! I've never made soap before, but I'm thinking of getting into it. Largely because I don't want a soap with SLS in it and also, commercial soaps are almost always sweet scented rather than spicy.

Hi!

Oh. I'm from Australia--Melbourne, to be precise

Hi!

Have fun if you start getting into it. There are a fair few of spicy and woody essential oils, and if you branch out into fragrance oils (be sure to always get reliably reviewed cold process tested FOs, not craft store junk), there are plenty more.

Do remember if you're putting actual spices into soap, to test in small batches and research first. Many can be irritating to the skin, even though they're edible.
