I am not really sure, I guess I can just add a little of both?? Right now it is real hard to melt them (even rubbing them in my hands). Little bits rub off but they are even hard to melt.

I made my first lotion bars yesterday with equal parts shea butter, soft oils (1/2 sao and 1/2 sunflower oil) and beeswax. They are too hard for my liking and I would like to make them a little softer ( they dont melt very easy at all). I plan to remelt them. Should I add more shea butter or...

They are SUPER easy, you should try!!! Hardest part is cutting the beeswax, I am going to try grating it next time, that stuff is SOOOO hard!

Aww thanks! I think I am going to love them to. I accidently got oil all over my hands in the process and rubbed it all over me, I cant wait to try them out.

These are my first lotion bars! They were made using shea butter, beeswax, sunflower oil and sweet almond oil. ETA I also added vit e and 6 drops of lemon essential oil to combat the strong honey smell of the beeswax.

Re: x dont tell anyone but I couldnt wait for the OMH one to cure (I made it two weeks ago) and already started using it LOL I love using it on my face because it doesnt leave any residue behind and leaves my problem skin feeling smooth and soft ( and not oily or dry like most face soaps I...

Your soap is gorgeous. I reminds me of the birthday cake with sprinkles in it! I really looks good enough to eat!

Is this stuff even safe to make soap out of, when I hear diesel, its not something I would ever think I would make soap out of? Where do you get this stuff?

I was wondering where a good place to buy these things is. Cheap shipping would be prefered because it seems like most soap suppliers charge a ton for shipping, even the smallest, lightest things!! Also, if you can buy any of these at stores, what kind of stores do I look at? Also, on the silk...

Thanks for all your kind comments!!! :D Can you guess what EVERYONE I know is getting for Christmas and birthdays and and and..... yep thats right, LOTS of soap! LOL

Wow you have been BUSY! They look awesome!

I would like to know an answer to this too. One time I added ice, dont know if that is okay or not and did not seem to help. The next time I put my lye water cup in the sink in ice water but it is still so slow!

My very first two batches of cp soap! :) The first batch Oatmeal Goatmilk and Honey The Second batch Lavender Baby Powder Goatmilk Soap Soap in the back left corner is a Vanilla and Honey with Coffee ETA opps I guess I dont know my left from my right :oops:

They are beautiful, how do you get the top so fluffy looking?

All the fragrance oils I have seen at walmart say not to get it on the skin, so I am assuming they are not safe. I did find fo at michaels that are intended for soap on the isle with the m&p soap.

Thanks, thats a great idea, I didnt even know products like those existed. Off to search for recipes. Thanks again! ETA I think I am going to try a lotion bar and see how it works if I just wipe the clean wipe over it and then use it on my baby. Know of any good lotion bar recipes that are easy...

I used to use apricot kernel oil when my ds had a rash but he hasnt had one since I switched to cloth diapers 02/08 so its been a while. I guess I could use that again, it did clean very well but I always made such a mess with it!

I am not planning to sell this, I just wanted to make them for my personal use and save money. I have tried using just water but I use flannel wipes and for some reason the water but it just does not work as well. I have even tried using dry wipes but the seem to harsh on a sensitive baby...

Thanks for the link, that is perfect!! I never even thought of adding calendula.

Sorry about your soap but your cookies look delicious!
