Take action and rediscover the roots of old-fashioned soapmaking and other household cleaning products by learning to make soap that good ol’ fashioned way. Learn how to make gentle, natural soaps, and explore the history and science of this cleanser using the same natural ingredients Grandma used, animal fat and lye.
