Here are the first five palm free recipes that I soaped today! Some of them are recipes that I’ve soaped before and love…some are new formulations.

I poured these into the tubes with liners and all of them gelled. Gelling the soap does make them harder when unmolding.

UPDATE:  This blog post is old and I never got responses from testers due to me moving and life in general.  If you are starting out in the search for a palm free recipe, these are great to make and test.  I also have tons of palm free recipes on my blog if you click the ‘palm free recipes’ blog category.
