    Travel soaps

    Anyone got any ideas on packaging for soaps you could take away on travel with you? Lush do their special tins for their shampoo bars, but I find they always get stuck, even if the bar is dry and its awkward and messy to get out - My idea was maybe shaving a bar with a veggie peeler and then...

    Fresh skin coconut fragrance oil is a no-go, smells lovely but went solid almost instantly, also discoloured :(

    Coconut fragrance oil - UK

    I considered, my issue is that Id like it in smaller, almost ice cube sized moulds and when I tried HP a while ago I found it hard to get it neatly into a larger mould, I feel it may super hard to get it into a small mould neatly/safely

    Thyme essential oil

    I enjoy rosemary as well, I think i'll stick to that for now! I also see basil popping up now and again, have you tried that? I love herby scents but when I think of basil i think of pasta 😂

    Coconut fragrance oil - UK

    Coconut fragrance oil - UK

    So... Nikura coconut fragrance oil works perfectly in cold process soap... but it doesn't smell of coconut.. at all! I found that it smelt super almondy, which was delicious, but not what I was looking for - Im not sure if maybe my bottle was mislabelled or something maybe? I am continuing my...

    Thyme essential oil

    Hello all! I'm wanting to experiment with a couple of essential oil blends for cp soap which have thyme essential oil in - Ive tried to do some research on it as I know it can be irritating and most places suggest using under 1% in order for it to still be safe. I have super sensitive skin and...

    Coconut fragrance oil - UK

    hmmm... Think I'll give the soap kitchens one a miss! If I'm thinking of the same place, they have pretty high delivery costs, I was going to order some coconut oil from there, however it was so expensive compared to other places! I think my plan will be to order some sample bottles from a...

    Coconut fragrance oil - UK

If anyone has got a coconut FO they stand by and love I would be so...

    The swirls on this lot of bars aren’t clearish like they tend to be in pictures of glycerin rivers, they’re a lighter colour of the part it’s in, they go right through the bar as well, i’m just confused as i have a bar that does have some glycerin rivers but it looks so different yes, ignoring...

    what happened to my soap?

    I made this batch yesterday, I can’t really work out whats going on with it, I did some research on glycerin rivers, however it doesn’t really look like any pictures. I did everything as normal, although I am trying a new recipe (I used it the other day as well and other than the essential oil I...
