Hmm .. I didn't even think about using it as a scrubby soap! I'll have to try it for that! I honestly can't stand the natural smell of the oils so I think I am going to do something with it. I probably will shred it and add it try adding it to other batches? Maybe french vanilla scented...

Good to know! I think I am going to order a few fragrance oils from them now and then once I start to run out of the current oils I have on hand, I'll try ordering some oil from them! The fast shipping sounds great!

Good to know that SB has not been overly reliable. I just looked at Candora's website and it their prices are basically what I was paying, except they seem to have a much larger selection! Thanks!

I was actually just reading some other threads and somebody was talking about making confetti soap. My mold made 9 bars so I think I will actually use one or two to get an idea of how long they last/see if I like that recipe, I'll keep one to see how they do with time, maybe try confettiing? a...

Aaahhhhh I see! I thought the beans would make it smell - I even used my best smelling coffee!! Haha! Good to know!

I tried to upload a pic from my phone but couldn't, I will try again! I am steering away from using tallow or palm for the exact reasons you mentioned, my supplier also hasn't have olive oil for a few months (like 3) and I could only find it in grocery stores but I wasn't willing to pay the...

Yes, I used a lye calculator. There was a drop down to choose superfat percentage but I choose 0% - it sounds like that maybe wasn't the right call! I will keep that in mind for next time!

I don't have castor - anything else I could have used instead of that? I didn't add a superfat either. I was debating but because I added the shea and it has a lot of unsaponifables I leaned away from it. Could I still have superfatted it?

Hi all! I just made my very first batch of soap tonight! It is now wrapped in a towel sitting in my oven. Just looking for some feedback on my recipe and people's thoughts on what my final product wI'll be! My supplier has been out of olive oil for several weeks and I didn't have tallow or...
