Reply to comment by Sacred_Stardust in what happened to this "all natural soap" after sitting in the shower for a few months by Sacred_Stardust

soap ripes... and dries out in the process, regardless of humidity. that's why store bought soaps contain various additives...

there's only a handful of ingredients to make soap - all available in your local chemistry supplies or pharmacy. everything else is either for nicer bubbles, better smell or longer shelflife.

Minimal list:

  • fat / oil
  • pure lye
  • distilled water
  • anything to make the soap smell nice and have any color (without those, you get that light brown-ish lump grandma used for washing out stains from clothes)

edit: YES, anyone can make soap at home
