I suffer from a debilitating bladder disease called interstitial cystitis. I've learned that everything you eat, breathe and apply to your skin (the largest organ) filters through your bladder. So to keep my pain level down I have had to modify the way I live in great lengths. I make my own soap, but want to try new recipes. I had been using Eucerin lotion but it has started causing me to break out. It seems that I develop allergies to everything eventually.
I want to make a lotion that absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy feeling, with healing properties and natural ingredients that I can enjoy and share with my family. I also want to learn how to make hot process soap. I think it should be easy enough, but I may not have the equipment as of yet.
I do not totally understand the volume of soap. A recipe may say it makes 6 pounds and I do not know how many molds that will take. It is always a guessing game.
I am a married 50 year old disabled mother and granny, but don't get to see the kids as much as I would like, so I try to stay busy when I feel I can. I am also a proofreader and editor, but I can't proofread my own work so if you find mistakes here, it is normal.
Thanks!
Tina
