Leon here,
Did a search on finding a recipe for making cornmeal soap. Found several discussion but , due no doubt to how I searched, I found no recipes. Some of the discussions indicated there might be a problem on when to add the cornmeal for it to have the most benefit for skin care. Found many on the internet, perhaps I should say, so many that I was still without wisdom. This will be my first time for making soap so be gentle

Leon, we (Wildflower Soaps) sell two cornmeal soaps on the "DirtDoctor" web site in the "shopping" link. I can't give away my recipe but can possibly help you. First find a basic soap recipe that you feel is beneficial to the skin. We use a fresh goat milk recipe. You can then add horticultural or whole ground cornmeal to the soap after you grind it to your liking. We have a multi-step process that involves extraction, infusion and more. Keep in mind that this is a lot more complicated then I'm making it sound. You don't want to burn the goat milk or the corn (or yourself for that matter).
My recommendation is to start with a simple, basic soap first or buy some melt & pour from someone else and add your cornmeal to it. This is what some of our competitors do. The quality and benefits are questionable with a melt & pour, but you have to start somewhere. Check out the link below for basic instructions & simple recipes for beginners.
