Hi All, So I live in South Louisiana. My grandma and I own a soap shop and we ventured into bath bombs recently. We are struggling to say the least. We have tried 5-10 different recipes, and have found a downfall to all of them in some way. Here are some recipes we've tried Baking Soda – 1...

Hi, We are struggling with soda ash pretty badly. Here's the kicker though, it is NOT on every soap. Just on some. We can't figure out the rhyme or reason behind what makes some of them get the soda ash and others not. We've been reading and doing research, and one of the things we read about...

So I have tried this recipe twice now. The first time was when I had first started making soap, and I did not put it in the soap calc or anything like that. I just followed it straight from the book, which is The Natural Soapmaking Book for Beginners by Kelly Cable. The recipe is called...

Hi guys. I am struggling very much to get a vibrant shade of purple in my CP recipes. I’ve used TD to turn the batch white first and then added my dispersed mica mixtures. I use the ratio of 1 teaspoon of mica to 1 tablespoon of sweet almond oil. I have used any different CP recipes and I...

@dibbles I have decided I am taking this weekend not to make soap, but to learn more about the soap calculator. I definitely agree after all the comments that it is a must needed step I need if I am going to continue making soap and want to make it successfully. Unfortunately I am stubborn and...

I misspoke and said 5 pounds but I meant 3. I did everything in the recipe to a T. At least as far as I know. Maybe I made a misstep and did not realize I did, totally possible. I used the Rose Quartz FO in another recipe recently and it did not accelerate trace, like you said, it seemed to...

Lol, I tried googling that before I came here and posted about it and nothing came up. I figured they’d have something. I don’t know why I couldn’t find it. Thank you!! Yes I agree, I really enjoy making the soap base that’s why I’m not really fond of buying BB Quick Mix products. I’d rather...

Hi, I am fairly novice at soap making. I use brambleberry and some other sites to get recipes from since I am still learning. A lot of BB recipes call for the Basic QM, Lots of Later QM, Swirl QM, etc. I was wondering if anyone had recipes to use in place of that? I dont like the idea of having...

I used Devious in Brambleberry's Pink and Gold CP Soap Project, and everything was going just fine until I added the "Devious' FO from Nurture Soap. It has Vanillin in it. As soon as I added it, my oil and lye mixture seized in the time it took me to set down the fragrance oil bottle and pick up...

Does anyone know a recipe to use in place of the "lots of later quick mix"?
