Here's one that seems to have a lot of all-vegetable recipes suitable for beginners: http://www.silverlink.net/~timer/soapallveg.html Yours, Vijay S.

I don't know if the fact that ghee is a shorter chained fat then tallow or vegetable oils would make a difference. If it did work, ghee based soap for the Deities would be an opulent offering. I know for making salves, the pomace olive oil works fine, or even better than then the virgin stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in New Zealand, there was a devotee there, making soap from left-over ghee- you know after you've put the pakoras etc. to drain- what collects there in the pot underneath, because of course, you never have to throw out ghee, just so long as you don't burn it.So ghee is definitely OK. - Niscala. > > > > > ____ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
