    Evaporated Goats Milk. Have you used it full strength?

    Yeah, I imagine that's how I'd use it too if I did the evaporated kind. I'm wondering though, what the effects of using evaporated goats milk without adding any water would be. Just straight evaporated goats milk.

    Evaporated Goats Milk. Have you used it full strength?

    I plan on making a new batch of goats milk soap in the next couple of days. Any time I've done a goats milk soap I use fresh and pour it in ice trays to freeze. When I was cruising the store I looked at evaporated goats milk in a can and it got me thinking. How would soap turn out if you used...

    Thanks guys. I waited about 40 mins and hadn't gotten any replies so I just winged it and put it in the crock pot.

    I have some bars from my very first batch from several weeks ago. It's made out of 100% lard with 5% SF. Well I used it in the shower and as I was washing I noticed when I went to wash off my hand was dragging across my skin. It def wasn't silky at all! LOL! I was wondering if this is normal? Or...

    Making Soap with essential oils

    Actually with my first sniff tests I thought I was only going to do the orange/patch blend. But then I added the Bergamot to my sniff test and it was delightful!. Hmmm I don't know what to think about all this conflicting views on how much EOs to use ppo..

    Making Soap with essential oils

    I am going to make a batch of soap with some of my new oils I got from BB. I wanted to use 2 parts 10x orange oil, 1 part Patchouli, and 1 part Bergamot. I would use it at a rate of 1oz ppo. Do any of these oils speed up trace? I intend on using some natural colorants as well. Thanks!

    Infusing Activated Charcoal

    I have some activated charcoal in nugget form. (for aquarium filters) I want to make some soap with black swirled into it. My problem is that I don't have a coffee grinder to grind it into powder. I only have a blender and a food processor. I'm wondering if I could try to "infuse" the charcoal...

    An interesting observation...

    Something else to consider. Nail will also grow stronger, longer and faster with increased circulation! Maybe making soap gets your fingers moving a bit more!

    So you thought you were creative... but you didn't think of THIS!

    DELISH! I would much rather have this than flowers that die. I'm not a fan of those fruit edible arrangements, but I would be a fan of THIS!

    Infusing Calendula

    So I just got my order of calendula. I am going to infuse it into my olive oil with the crock pot. Does anyone have any advice? I wasnt sure how much herb to put into my quart glass jars, what temp setting to put my crock pot on, how long, and lid on or off? I'm a greenhorn! OR can I go as far...
