How is your daughter Sara's skin doing now?

Sara is now in her twenties and has beautiful skin. When she was 14, she tried commercial soap products. Sara quickly learned that her skin is still sensitive to commercial products. After breaking out again with seborrhea, She went back to using homemade soap, and still uses my soaps today.

Do you share your soap recipes?

I do not share my soap recipes. I have been developing and perfecting my own recipes since 1977 (and I'm still perfecting them!). However I am happy to recommend a list of very good books. See my Recommended Reading page, then check your local library, or ask at your favorite bookstore.

When did you start making soap?

In 1977 my daughter was born with a serious skin condition known as seborrhea. By the time she was 3 months old, her little body was covered in angry red patches that burned and itched. She could not be held. Her clothes irritated her. Commercial soap and detergents seemed to aggravate Sara's skin. Prescription creams and lotions did nothing to soothe her.

An elderly neighbor named Dorothy suggested I should try her old-fashioned laundry soap. I washed all of Sara's clothes and bathed her little body with and old brown bar of Dorothy's homemade soap. In a week my little girls skin was normal! So I learned to make my own soap.
