Hi,
You have inspired me to have a go at soap making, I was thinking of maybe giving some as Christmas gifts, if it turns out OK  :fc:,  when would be the best time to start a batch, so it is ready around Dec 25th or does it keep for a long time without going off?.
Regards
Sue

Hello Sue

I leave mine to cure between 4-6 weeks (not sure about Karen - about the same?) 

some artificial fragrances can go 'off' even if wrapped but if you are going for 100% natural should be fine  :)

Yup, 6 weeks for mine too.
But we usually end up using it at home before that  :innocent: It's still perfectly safe to use, but lasts longer after a proper cure because the bar is nice and hard  :thumbsup:
