I started making soap in 2016 just to see if I could figure it out. Now I’m pretty good at it and have a lot of fun with different colors and smells. I normally don’t use 100% olive oil, though. An equal-parts mixture of Canola, Olive, and Coconut oil is what I try to use, but I’ve also had good luck with “whatever cooking oil I have on hand”.
