Found some packed in 10 lb bags 40 lb per box for $1.10 per lb

My wife and I stopped at a soap shop while on vacation. The owner was kind enough to sell us some of his frag oils. The rose was the purest rose I have ever smelled. I will not ask him where it came from even though we are over 1000 miles apart. I may have found it through searching the net...

Ask me in a week or so. I am searching for a true rose, and I may have found it. What does Cyphre Rose smell like? Mike

thanks for the replies. WE may have to give this a try. He might be disappointed that there is no cow poo in the mix though...

The other day a co worker asked me if there was an herb or something that may help regrow his hair. I think he may be a little desperate, since he said he did not are if was cow poop. I heard from a Russian guy that in his village they used something for hair growth and it really worked...

Is it possible that she was flustered by all the people waiting to get soap. If so also not a good business practice.

thanks newbie. That is the info I needed. Mike

This is why I drive to isit my brother in CO. The truck can handle 3,000 lb of oils, but the wallet..... Where is peak, I may have to stop. Will start saving immediately

I have been aksed to make a soap with eucolyptus EO. I can find the oil but I can not find any use tares. Has anybody used this before? Mike

no not yet. I have been working too much this past week to get around to it. I do have my doubts that it will work right. Mike

Yes this is quite possible. It does however take some different materials. I use hydrochloric acid and an indicator called bromophenol blue. When the bromo blue turns yellow, then the soaps are broken down to water and free fatty acids. it takes a few hours for the liquids to fully seperate...

define too much!

For question #1, the external heat does move things along. This reaction for saponification is quite similar to that of biodiesel. the reaction works best at temps of 135 - 150F. I dont excede 150 F due to the boiling point of methanol. The higher the reaction temp, the shorter the reaction...

I cure mine on a wire rack. Just for fun I took a bar and weigh it every day to track water loss. The bar was made on 7/21/2001. For the first few days, it lost around 1 gram per day. Today it is still losing at a rate of 1/2 gram per day. The bar has lost a total of 6.7 grams. It could...

I got an ammonia smell last night when I made GM soap. I was not sure where it came from. I thought it was from the onion skins in the garbage from dinner. Soap smells fine now. Mike

Has anyone tried to use the hand soap pumps that dispense as a foam? I have acess to a large quantity of them. Would I need to dilute the liquid more to make them work? Mike

When I was testing my soaps, I gave some to my Aunt. She had the same comment. The samples they got were small. I was not suprised in the least. My first question to her was "Is the quality of the soap, the lather, the scent, and the moisturizing properties of the soap such that you would...

It has been 95 and HUMID for the last 4 or 5 days. Still no sweating, but I guess A/C helps. I made a batch Friday and couldn't wait. Used it in the shower Sunday. We loved it. Can't wait to see what it is like in a month.

My wife made them with Microsoft Excell. She did a nice jod, but I refuse to work with it other than number crunching. Mike
