It's got a great price tag, but has anybody used it in their soap making? Is it good? I have some on its way to me and I wanted to know if it was good as soap, or if I should use it as a body balm. How do you make a body balm? lol

Thanks! I think I'm going to tough it out and be patient waiting for my scale to get here. :)

Oh cool! That gives me some hope! What shipping method did you use though? I used 1st Class International Mail

I hope someone else can shed some light on it :) I have tons of totes and things laying around, so it would be perfect for me.

Depending on the size of the mold, would it work if you just put it inside a larger container? Like a plastic tote with a lid?

At newdirectionsaromatics.com you can purchase 1 gallon for $22.86, 5 gallons for $106.67, or 396 lbs for $900 (not sure how that converts to gallons)

That soap is so pretty looking! I never would have guessed that it was soap by looking at the picture. Best of luck making it :)

Thank you! I don't know if I'm going to try it or not, but it's good to know that it's there in case I start to go crazy. I want my first experience making soap to be a good one, so I'll probably want to make sure I can get my first batch as accurate as possible.

Thanks for the reply! I was pretty sure that it was completely necessary but thought I'd double check just in case hehe. I don't know anybody who owns a digital scale, unfortunately. I have a bathroom scale, but that wouldn't be nearly accurate enough. I ordered my scale from...

Okay so here's the deal, I have all of the ingredients I need to make soap, and I have all of the equipment I need... except for my digital scale. I ordered it online and it isn't expected to get here for several weeks! :shock: So here's my question. Is a scale absolutely crucial to making...

Beautiful soap! What a lovely green color!

Thank you! I'm quite fond of my name too hehe. Plus it's a word I made up, so my user name is ALWAYS available. Practical, AND fun to say!

Re: Water Hehe I have heard that! But I am still very new to this and haven't done it yet so I appreciate the reminder. Thank you for the kind welcome!

Water Hi everyone! I just joined today, and I am awaiting my supplies to make my very first batch of soap ever! I had a question for those of you who cannot tell the difference between soap made from distilled, and soap made from tap water. When you add the water to the lye, it heats up...
