Tee hee! Making different types of soaps didn’t change me, either, :lol: , but I sure enjoyed the experience of it. :D

I’m glad you got to try Cold Process at least once before going back to your beloved CHP soap. Tee hee!

When you get the book, it will explain just when to add fragrance oils -- after the soap has cooked in the crockpot and before pouring into the mold. So, yes, I believe you could just make castile soap and add the essential oils at the appropriate stage of the soapmaking. Have fun! Please let me know how this works for you. I am excited at the thought of you making a citronella soap! Love, Wardeh Sonya, how exciting that you’re going to try to make your own soap!

You've also inspired me to try making some soap, and I found out that my local library carries the book you recommend. I have a question that maybe you can answer, too. I have been wanting to make some citronella soap to help ward off mosquitoes, which for some reason really plague my husband more than me or any of our children. He gets bit quite a lot during mosquito season here in Arizona, and the rest of us do occasionally. We are concerned about contracting the West Nile virus, but equally (if not more) concerned about using any of the DEET-containing insect repellants. Our chiropractor suggested citronella soap, and I found a recipe online that calls for grating up castile soap and melting it in a pot, then adding citronella and pennyroyal essential oils, and finally cooling it and molding it back into soap. What I wanted to know is whether I couldn't just make some castile soap and add the essential oils in place of or in addition to some of the other ingredients. What do you think? By the way, I like your rustic bars, too! :-) Love, Sonya Hi, Wardeh:

I'll stick with my crockpot. I only do cold process when I want to test fragrance oils. I'm so behind in my own soapmaking, that I've been buying it from my customers! Maybe I'll have to take a look at what you have at Etsy. I’m with you, Wardeh. I’ll stick with my crockpot. I only do cold process when I want to test fragrance oils.
