Ohhh no! I did not check the tag on time! I was too busy trying to take picture for the entry. I’ll participate in next month challenge! Thank you!

Here is my entry. I used activated charcoal, roseclay, zinc oxide, and yellow and orange dyes. I knew the yellow was gonna bleed so i tried to keep the base colour dark. The bottom is black and stir a little bit of grey in. Then the white part was regular drop swirl. And the top part is mini...

That's a nice idea actually, i didnt think of it. I just thought i'll make one experimental batch. Then put different EO blend in different cups, and pour the soap in there to see how the smell gonna turn out. But i'll leave 1 cup unscented like you suggest to know exactly what is with the lye...

Thank you guys for your help. I'm gonna make 1 more batch to make sure if this lye is the bad one, if it is, i'll buy another, if it is because of the milk or FO, I wil stick to EO. You guys help me understand a lot. Thanks again <3

I'm living in Moscow so I got my FO from local store. They imported the FO from Litva. I dont think there is a brand that I can check. The shop uses their name for the label.

Thank you for your answer, my lye is 99% and I used goat milk for 1 batch, it smell worst than the batch other without milk. But it not slightly smell like urine, it has a very strong smell when i cut it. And all of different FO i used give me that bad experiment,, so Im thinking of sticking to...

I have searched for the answer for this question but I havent found anything, so I hope someone have the answer for me. I have just bought this new lye, when I pour the lye mixture into oil and mix for a bit , it started to smell like urine. I never had this problem before with my old lye...

I still have a question about water discount. There is this girl in another forum, she said that using water discount may lead to the formation of alkali precipitate. And that precipitate will burn skin. Is that also one weak point of water discount? She also said only really experienced soaper...

I have look for an answer but all I found was just recipe of shampoo bar. I really want to know what is the clearest difference between these bars so that next time I can create my own recipe. I have some concrete question: _Why some bath bar cant be used for hair? _What is the ingredient that...

I like hemp oil because is supposed to be super moisturizing and easy absorbed by the skin. I tried the hemp chap stick from "the body shop" and since then I actually like hemp the most. But i dont like the colour though, it's dark green.

I end up making the batch with 10% of hemp oil and use 3 drop of vitamin E acetate to help the hemp oil from rancidity. I put them in 2 different molds, one to let gel, one not to. They are still very soft after 15 hours of sitting in molds. Thank you for mentioning about wp oil. I'll purchase...

I'm planning on making hemp soap with 10% hemp oil, and hemp oil is the most easy type of oil to spoil, so I want to use some preservative to help. I'm having in hand "olive leaf extract" and "hibiscus sabdariffa extract". Both are antioxidant. I have them in 10ml bottle. The problem is that I...

There are some kinds of mold that I have tried so far for Cp soap and this is what I think about them. _I have used heavy duty mold for my last batch - salt soap. I have 2 of those so I put one in the fridge (not freezer) and one on top of the room heater. People told me that if I put my...

I'm still very new in soap making and I live in hostel where there is only 1 kitchen for the whole floor ( 18 rooms, 4 ppl per each), so I have the chance to do only 1 batch a week. But I actually try my best to soap as much as I can because I need to experiment. Plus I love soaping :">

It was an individual plastic mold (the see-through one), I dont know how it called. I used that batch to test colorant and scent. Here is the recipe: 30%OO, 30%CO, 30%castor and 10%palm oil. I soaped at 39 degree C. I put them in different molds, plastic and silicon. The silicon one pop out...

I had that problem also with my plastic mold. I end up too angry and used the thin blade to worm around the side and tried to pick it out. And I found the new problem: In the bottom of the mold, the soap didnt set up at all even though i let it in the mold for a week. So then I took out the hard...

This is awesome. But i'm only half, so I'll do this: 1. Put my coconut oil in the freezer right away. 2. Tell my roommate not to taste any interesting thing on the casserole dish. 3. Make my roommate my husband (she trips over all my molds, too). 4. Carry free sample of my soap EVERYWHERE.

I have that problem (apparently using too much colour), and still cant fix it :((
