I ran out of organic soap, and ended up using the standard chemical one from the store. Both my daughter, and my hands feel really dry and sore now. Today, I had a go at making my own soap without Lye, as they say it is toxic.
After much research, I have found that most soaps contain Lye, including Organic.
LYE EXPERIMENT
So, I have decided to stick to my wonderful Soap Nuts, which I use to wash the dishes, clean the kitchen surfaces and floor. Wash our clothes, and clean the bathroom. They are also brilliant for cleaning the windows. One thing I can tell you for sure, and that is my hands felt really soft two weeks ago, before I purchased the chemical soap. Normal Washing up liquid used to really dry my hands out too. But not Soap Nuts, they are 100% ORGANIC.
I did try and make a soap nut bar of soap, but it has not worked out very well. However, just popping the Soap Nut liquid into a soap dispenser, works perfectly. Last year, I purchased four boxes of Soap Nuts, they have lasted me approximately nine months. Wish I could find the receipt to find out how much I paid for them. But one thing is for sure, they have saved me a fortune. And take up no space in the kitchen. As well as being good for our environment.

THE TRUTH ABOUT LYE
What are your thoughts about this? Personally for me, I would rather use Soap Nuts, and use a Soap Dispenser, because at least I know the Soap Nuts come from a Tree, and are 100% ORGANIC. Like all soaps, you don't want to get Soap Nuts in your eyes.
