I'm so excited. Since my last failure at making glycerin soaps, I've decided to make soap from scratch. The soap bases I was using previously were expensive and icky.

I bought a whole bunch of tubs of cocoa butter, exotic oils and such. I even purchased colours to put into the soap. I bought more molds! Stirrers! Funky additives : Sodium Benzoate and Citric Acid.

But strangely, I can't find lye. At all.

I bought two books : The Complete Soapmaker and Soapmaking for Fun and Profit.
I borrowed books from the library : Making Soaps!
I've surfed the internet for uncountable soap resources.

I am soooo ready to make soap this weekend.

I just need lye.
