well what did you use for the first recipe on the picture? 100% skunk oil? usually to get a balanced bar we mix 50-50 hard to soft oil ratio more or less. Are you looking for a bubbly soap vs a mild soap? How did you get your soap in a skunk shape and what did you use to color it black?

Sorry for the delayed response. You mentioned delusional thoughts, manic episodes and rapid speech. As the other ladies pointed out there appears to be some sort of underlying imbalance that alcohol abuse is covering up. You mentioned that you have bipolar disorder, and there are difference...

I am sorry to hear what you are going through. Someone as sweet and compassionate as you deserves only the best. We are always here if you need anything. I am sorry to pry, but when you say he has a lot of confusion, are you referring to his baseline? or only after drinking? Confusion and...

ohh believe you me, I so much as blink and I get soap on a stick....! I have yet to make proper swirls in my soaps.... but thats bc I don't use FO that behaves half the time

i have two batches that cured for 3 months now. i didn't have a chance to try them yet but i think they will hold fine!

post pics of the update!

That makes sense. Thank you for explaing to me. Between the pull vs pour through technique, generally which will produce more intricate defined colors?

OMG yes you did!! you must've influenced my subconscious! I happened to have carrot juice in the fridge that I didn't want to waste and I had prepped a bunch of aloe vera (bought 5 leaves!) with a bit of cucumber in the freezer to make my aloe vera cukes soap! So it all kinda just happened!

so the the faux funnel refers to which technique or thats another animal?

where the pics posted here for on another link? sorry i'm a bit out the loop!

Thank you for sharing all the beautiful pics. However this concept is very new to me. Did you let the soap pass through the strainer as you poured it into the molds or did you let the strainer sit on the bottom of the mold so it passed it and then as you remove the strainer the soap passed...

Was the black rebatched soap flakes or you set aside batter and mixed with charcoal? How did you get pieces? you never cease to amaze me! Before I went to work I made a carrot soap! The water portion was half aloe (with a bit of cucumber juice) and the other half was carrot juice-- fiber...

Agreed! As Kiwi said, lots of natural colors fade or even worse turn brown. My customer will barely wait the recommended 4 weeks for this soap and will probably use it as soon as she gets it so it may hold its color until the end. But had I aged it 6 months before selling I am sure the color...

The orange was the tumeric! With some mica as well!

It was a pumpkin spiced latte with tumeric and coffee exfoliant. I was hoping there would be a greater contrast between the middle and bottom layers but it didn’t come out as I envisioned!

I love the purple and white contrast. And when it’s tricolor with black it adds more dimension. Very nice! Did you has titanium dioxide for the white or that was the natural color before the mica? Did you use charcoal for the black? I think charcoal seizes for me every time. Not sure if it’s...

Don’t be disappointed! They look beautiful. Sometimes I have a swirly design in mind but then I get soap on a stick and then I just have to work with what I got. Apparently cloves in the FO causes very bad seizing. It’s all part of the fun! It may not be exactly as your had in mind but it’s...

Thank you!

That is a lovely idea and very cute soap! I will use the idea to make my own orange flavor. I made previously an orange zest soap that wasn’t ground too fine to make an exfoliant and have a minty citrus scent. But using it as a colorant is a good idea! Thanks for sharing

How long do you cure your soap before you wrap them for storage?
