Soapwort for soap?

[old fashioned]

I have a ton of this plant and have heard it's been used to make soap & shampoo in the past. Has anyone ever done this?

As always make sure that whatever you do you get more than one opinion or set of instructions. Also, make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients. Sounds like an interesting plant. Have fun. :bee
