its good that even the scraps can be a thing of beauty :) Your soap has turned out very beautiful. What scent did you use, or did you just let the balls do the scenting?

Thankyou for putting in the time and effort to share this tutorial. That is the simplest version of liquid soap i have ever read, and i now have a renewed interest in making some. You are a great lady :razz:

That is great looking salt bar. I havent made salt bars in ages so might have to get onto it. Very well done indeed.

Welcome to the forum. I used to love the whisk, then it disappeared. Its good being on a few different groups i think, though some might argue that all groups talk about the same stuff, it is still very uplifting to see everyones beautiful creations, and read others views on on soapy subjects...

I know there is a lot of debate around this subject, and you certainly do get those few who are right no matter what, lol. I love pyrex jugs, but i never ever use them for lye mixing. I only use plastic - heavy duty plastic that is. if i get my hands on a stainless steel jug, then i would use...

I am not a fan of Rose at all, but rose lemongrass sounds great. i also dont like lavender soap or lotion, though i make it for sale. people think i'm a crazy person.

I don't know, but i'm thinking product and liability would be the path needed ?

I just use wire bent into whatever shape i want. i have thick wire and thin wire depending on what im trying to achieve.

If your scales are not accurate you will have too much lye, which means lye heavy / zappy soap. you need to check your scales. i check mine every week. If batteries are getting a little low, that can make scales act up too. if i had the money i would get electric scales for soaps etc, but that...

Tongue test ;) or rub your finger on the soap then touch your tongue with finger.

you definately need a set of digital scales, so much more accurate for everything. As to special ingredients, well i think you need to read and research a lot, learn what each ingredient brings to the soap. I dont think you have to have a huge list of expensive ingredients to make a beautiful...

Good to see another aussie, welcome. you know if you have a longlife milk/ juice container they make a good mould to get you started. Your shopping habits will change too, you wjill start seeing things thru a soapers eye, lol. Garage sales are great too, never know what useful things will turn up.

Hi Relle, I don't think i was registered here before and certainly didnt take part in a swap on this site. My swap question was a general question, not specifically about members swapping on this forum, but aussie soaper groups in general. I have googled and couldnt find any info regarding...

This time around i am using bread crates, they can hold up to around 150 bars each if i stand soaps up on skinny end

Thankyou for the warm welcome everyone. Glad to find fellow aussies , aussieorchid, fuzz-juzz 1 question, do any of the aussie soapers do swaps anymore? That was something I used to enjoy too.

Hello everyone, i'm Kylie from central coast qld, australia.I've been lurking around here for a while now. I've been making soap & skincare products for around 10 yrs now, and had a business for a few years, but life got in the way. I'm back to building business again, and doing what makes me...

I bought myself a tank. The best investment I ever made, and it does not matter how long your soap logs are. Brilliant

While shopping in coles today I noticed rice malt syrup. It looks similar to honey, tastes vaguely similar - sort of like glucose with a little honey for flavour. So, has anyone soaped it? Im thinking use it like we normally use honey? I tried a few different google searches, but didnt come up...

Today I had a surprise visit from a friend, then after she left cleaned kitchen up a bit and headed out to shed to make a goatmilk honey oats . Not at all happy with top so will probably just cut some of it off. Also wish id added more honey so the natural scent isnt going to come through like...
