I think this should be my signature soap! This soap is made from sassafras tea, from sassafras roots harvested on my farm. I also added pine resin (from my farm) and honey (someday, I’ll have my own honey, but the honey used in this soap is from a local farm–Adam’s farm). The color is all natural–sassafras tea is red, but the soap turned out a lovely purplish color.
I made four pounds yesterday and will be making more! This soap is for sale. If you’re interested, contact me at [email protected]. The soap is $5/bar, and shipping is $3 for 1 or 2 bars, and $5 for three or four bars.
If you want to make the soap for yourself, I’ll be posting more about how I made this soap next week.

Wow that is neat soap. Looks like your soap-making skill will be well honed for tommorrow. Can’t wait… except for that getting up really early to milk all the goats before we leave part 🙂

The soap looks pretty. I’m curious what the purpose is of the different ingredients- fragrance?
