You’re welcome. It’s a pretty basic recipe, most gardener soaps use similar.

Yes, homemade soaps are safe for kids, often safer than store bought. If a child has sensitivities to colorants and scents however, it would be best to buy unscented and colored homemade soaps for them (which are available in abundance).

If you are truly interested, here are some links to get your started. Be forewarned that it might seem really complicated and intimidating, but once you get the basics down and make your first batch, it goes from a little scary to fun =)

Supplies:

(there are a lot more links for both, but those are the best for a beginner)

Lye calculator (so you can make your own recipes – takes some time to learn but it’s a must to know because each oil takes different amounts of lye):
