    Fragrance in the soap

    Check out Gracefruit. They have essential oils but many other things too. They are located in Scotland. Seems like EOs they have also in bigger bottles too (100ml and 250 ml) http://www.gracefruit.com/essential-oils/

    Batter gone bad?

    Thank you for your replies! I think you are right Navigator, that it may not be pretty but it can still be good. Maybe it's the lumps and pockets I hate :D And indeed, that's a good idea so save if for another use. I tried that "blending like crazy" :D but with few drops of oil. I'm pretty sure...

    Batter gone bad?

    I have one question for you all experts. I have done many many different recipes during my soaping years (as a hobby) and in general, I like my batter to trace quite quickly and I expect it to be perfectly smooth, even and not too thick when I pour it into the mould. So obviously I don't like...

    Honey I burnt the honey!

    Don't worry DeeAnna! The reader is always responsible for any info they read on the internet :mrgreen: And anyway, the soap turned out ok! I just unmoulded and tried to cut a little to see how it behaves. The scent isn't honey, but I think it smells like... mmm.. a bit sweet, like fresh...

    Pine and tar

    Something I did few days ago. Tar is very finnish scent as we have a lot of pine trees and it's very traditional, forresty and masculine. I think it suits this kind of sauna soaps and rustic look (IMO). Hope you like it :)

    Honey I burnt the honey!

    Thanks DeeAnna! Oh no. Of course, now that I really think about it. Oops. Thanks for correcting. And actually, I took this fact from another tread about adding honey and it's your reply "Honey is about 80% water, give or take a bit. Soapcalc doesn't list it, because it doesn't have anything in...

    Honey I burnt the honey!

    Hi everyone! I decided to share a little honey adventure I just had, and maybe get some opinions about this. So I got myself some lovely locally produced honey and wanted to try adding that so my 100% olive oil soap, since they say it will give better foaming and maybe even give some light...

    Aleppo Soap! The real thing!!!

    I recieved a reply for my enquiry today about laurel seed oil (from Turkey). The amount of 5kg was 100 dollars and delivery costs (to Finland) about the same = 200 dollars. A bit too much for me to try this, but if freight was smaller I could consider. We'll see.

    Hello from Finland!

    Hello from Finland!

    Hello everyone. I just found my way here today. I was searching something soap-related from Google and found some conversations. It's always nice to find new places to talk about soap (even if you know you'll loose more hours of your day browsing and getting ideas! :roll: ) I have been making...
