I just did an Internet search and found the following sites:





Teach Soap: http://www.teachsoap.com. It's got more than just recipes for bar soaps; it has recipes for bath fizzes, lotions, creams, and scrubs. I'll be bookmarking this one!





Castile Soap recipes: http://www.millersoap.com/castile.html. If you prefer not to use animal products in your soap, this site has recipes that are entirely vegetable-based.





Miller Soap: http://www.millersoap.com. This is the home page for the site I wrote about above. It has recipes using animal fats, plus where you can find ingredients. It also has notes on traditional versus modern soap-making methods.





http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prair鈥?/a>


This site has recipes for make-up, deodorants, skin care, dental hygiene, and much more!





http://users.resist.ca/~kirstena/pagehom鈥?/a> This site is very similar to the one I listed above, but has some explanations why certain products are used.





http://www.wildroots.com/cosmetic.htm: I liked that this site had some references for additional readings at the bottom of the page.





http://www.makingcosmetics.com/: Here you can purchase containers and supplies for making your own cosmetics.





Good luck! These sites look like a lot of fun; I may have to start making my own supplies, too!Where are the best recipes for making soap and hand made cosmetics?
i dont know, they used to make it out of cow fat.
I got a new book the other day. It has a recipe to make lipgloss. Okay here it is. By the way , the bits in brackets are my own.





1. Put a tablespoon of petroleum jelly (vaseline) in a microwaveable container. Heat it gently for half a minute to soften in.





2. Place a teaspoon of hot water into a bowl. Add in some raspberry or strawberry-flavoured powdered frink mix (Nesquik milshake mix!) , a tiny at a time , stirring constantly , until no more of the mix dissolves in the water.





3. Add the coloured water to the petroleum jelly one drop at a time , until you get the colour you want (pink).





4. Pour your mixture into a small , clean pot (an empty lip gloss tub?) and allow it to cool.
