Soap soap soap

So a dear friend gives me some soap for christmas. I was so excited to try it and then the unthinkable. I was so dry after that a gallon of lotion wasn't helping. That gave me the insperation to make a moisturizing bath soap for our extreme climate. I spent the first week reading up on how to make soap, decided that with two dogs and two cats I would stick to the melt and pour type. Lye and new german shepard puppy didn't seem like a good plan.
