Ok, I need help understanding the castor oil/clay/eo slurry concept. If anyone wants to point me in the direction of a thread, video, article - I would be super grateful.❤️ Day 2 of soaping with my huge FO from nurture. Good labels, good fragrances... Second day of headaches though 😪 My...

My huge FO order came today! And I shipped my first order through the mail. Now, I'm going to start soaping. 🤗🙏🥰

That seems really pricy to me! But if you're just gathering materials to try out soaping and are doing a few oils in small batches...It might not be as expensive as ordering a whole bunch of an oil you're not crazy about. As an aside, I got a really good bulk deal on palm oil from essential...

Ok. Thank you Kiwi! 💗

I bought organic, non GMO canola for about the same price as sweet almond oil in bulk from Shay and company. I think sweet almond looks better label wise, but I really love canola at about 15-20 percent.

I'm sorry to hear that. Definitely been a huge uprise in cases, I hope the transition into the new diet goes easily for both of you. 💗

I started out soaping pretty hot (10 degrees of each other etc etc) And have tried a couple different ways to make an efficient process... But now for my base recipes I've switched to this process: Making my lye water for my 3 lb soap recipe, pouring it cool into plastic lye bottles..and later -...

I love your soap you've been sharing too, Jorah. I think I too have the hardest time doing small batches 😆 I did 1 lb, 3 lb, 4 lb, and quickly moved on to 10 lbs After I had to throw away 10 lbs of soap (I had switched to trying out putting lye water on hard oils to melt... But as I learned...

I had that happen in my honey powder soaps. I chalked it up to being sugars that didn't dissolve, but I definitely could be wrong. Makes me think that must be what it is if liquid honey did the same thing. I stay humble!

Those are amazing. I dabbled in mandalas and omg it was challenging to me but I did find it relaxing. Just.. Everything came out cattywompus lol I recognize how much work that took! Amazingly beautiful and talented.. Love them

Wow! Beautiful!!!

I'm doing the stackable large tubs thing and it kinda sucks for the reasons you stated! I'm looking forward to seeing how you reorganize.

Hi there 💓 Very nice people here. Glad you're here, too! Be blessed!

oatmeal milk and honey gave me a dark brown

Brazilian mango soap. Added frag oil to cooled oils, blended to emulsion, separated, colored, no acceleration or discoloration. Still needs curing time, but smells beautiful and soaped great.

I don't know if it was the fo or the honey/buttermilk additives I put in to be honest. But yes, dark brown soap. 😊

So much interesting info - love it all. I am pup sitting away from home, so no pics of my soap yet. I love the stamp, Jorah. I don't know anything about Marseille soap, but your soap looks good! LS is interesting, I haven't done that one yet. I just love that this forum exists. 💓 Yesterday, I...

I love milk and honey fo from Bramble berry. It has brought repeat customers.

Fragrance has definitely been it's own trial! I've had friends say "too overpowering!" But the vast majority say "add more!" It's so personal!

I love Energy - it sold really well in lotion bars. I did not CP that one, and I would love to order more from BB- but, I too noticed a chemical smell in a couple of the fragrances I ordered from them. Energy was one that had a strange first whiff of *something unpleasant* until it faded...
