Do you use the same base soap recipe for all of them then add the scents etc at the end?

 

[British Red]

No, different recipes according to use, need and customer. So, for example, the olive oil soap is based on ....olive oil, whereas the orange oatmeal is based on lard. I prefer the animal fat based ones for quality of lather, but things like coconut oil can be interesting or even blends of oils and fats.
