Thanks for the advice Mayren... I am going to try the 50/50 oils/butters :-) I've already tried a couple of the sugar scrubs and they are awesome!

Krissy - this should probably go into another thread, but do you have problems with your soap turning orange? Even though I added the GM at trace, it still has an orange tint. Maybe it was from the gelling? I read somewhere that you're not supposed to let a GM soap gel.

Well, I tried making some... mine are a little oily. Are they supposed to be kind of wet? I coated them with white sugar and they look better. I'm using grapeseed oil because it is light and absorbs into the skin pretty well. I'm wondering if I should try using the coconut oil instead.

Jezzy - what a great idea! I am going to see if my DH will make me one too. That would help alot.

How Long? Just wondering.... on the CPOP, I pre-heated my oven to 170 degrees, made my soap, put it in the mold, turned my oven off (just left the light on inside the oven) and then put my freshly poured CP into the oven. I just checked on it (put it in the oven around 2 PM this afternoon --...

Can I ask where you found these colors? I need to order!! LOL
