I use GMP exclusively and love it! I will never go back to using liquid goat milk. I do not soap with vinegar - have had no problems with incorporating powdered goat milk into my oils.

The bumps are probably from using a wire cutter. They will go away when you plane your soaps.

I had no idea that essential oils would cause DOS. I have some lavender 40/42 that is unopened but is from 2023. Now I am not sure if I should use it - or not…

Love the colors. Not the worst that could have happened! You can still use and enjoy using it!!

Nope - I checked the MSDS - nothing - nada - sorry.

I have embraced steaming any loaf that develops soda ash. I used to cut first but find it easier/faster to just steam before cutting. Works great. To cure, I use baker racks with plastic trays for “shelving.” For storage, I shrinkwrap in breathable shrink wrap.

I don’t generally rely on store clerks to have this sort of information. I look at the container, google the company and look it up myself. if it is private label, I would contact the home office. In all honesty, I don’ buy any soap making supplies from craft stores. They are just not worth the...

Fragrance Buddy is another good one.

I’m on a mac using Safari and see it fine.
