					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://thenerdyfarmwife.com/how-to-create-custom-soaps-from-a-single-recipe/#comment-59286&quot;&gt;Susan&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Susan! I&#039;m afraid I don&#039;t see any way of that working out well. There wouldn&#039;t be any easy way to tell how much lye would be needed to break down the particular oils in the lotion. 
You&#039;d also have a lot of additives in the lotion that might react in a weird way with the lye.
Also, you don&#039;t want to use any old ingredients in soap since that will make the finished bars prone to developing DOS (dreaded orange spots - which means the soap has gone rancid.) 
I like your train of thought though and have wondered in the past if it&#039;s possible to add a bit of someone&#039;s favorite lotion to enrich a soap (maybe as an add-in after cooking hot process) but have never researched or tried the idea to see if it can be done or not.]]></description>
