I made some soap using green tea with Jasmine scent and it turned out great. I just need to know how to include the green tea on my labels. I used it instead of water to mix my lye. I usually just list everything that was used to create my soap in descending order of amounts. Thanks for any...

Thanks for the input guys. I haven't had to refrigerate the one I have been using at all and it has remained good right to the very botton with no seperation or becomeing "soupy".

Hi, I made a test batch of cream(solid lotion might be a better term) that for me has worked great. I was wondering if it would require a preservative if it doesn't have any water in it? 1/2 cup coconut oil 2 oz beeswax 2 tablespoons cornstarch (to help with greasiness) I have been...

I used annatto powder to color some soap and I think it turned out pretty good. I made a tangerine scented soap and added the annatto powder to a small amount of oils dipped out to swirl in. I made a 2lb loaf. This was some of my first trys at swirling so don't laught when you see it. (LOL)...

Here's a pic of my peppermint tea soap! Happy soaping everyone! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid= ... 41&theater

Maybe it'll work this time, I hope. Nope, it didn't work. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Good to know. I used a tiny bit of peppermint e/o with my peppermint tea soap. It has a very pleasant but very (and I mean very) subtle peppermint scent. The color turned out great though. Trying to add my pic to this post. I hope it comes through.

True enough about the lye eating stuff! I think I'll make some anyway, even if it doesn't retain much if any of those qualities I think it will make some nice soap. Amy yours looks great. Did you use any E/O or F/O or just the tea in yours?

I haven't tried this myself so I can't give first hand advice, but if you are going for all natural with out using micas or dyes, then try Woad. It is suppose to give a beautiful sky blue and is lighter or darker depending on how much you use. Also indigo powder will give you a shade similar...

Well, that's what I was thinking, but then again you boil the tea before you drink it to release its goodness into the water so why would it not survive the heat of saponification? That's why I'm in sort of a quandry. Not really sure.

I made some peppermint tea soap and it turned out beautifully. I know this can be done, my question is if you wanted to use say, Green Tea, in soap, would you still retain any of the teas great qualities (antibacterial, antioxidants, etc.) after going thru saponifaction? Anyone know the answer?

Yes, I too use coconut oil in my cp and it doesn't lend any scent to the final product but I was hoping maybe the milk would. I'm still gonna try it though cause it sounds like it is great! Thanks for the feed back guys!

Hi, has anyone used coconut milk in their cp instead of water? I was wondering if it gave any coconut scent to the soap at all and if so how much? Thinking of experimenting but wanted to ask first. Thanks for any feedback!

web site feed back Thanks everyone for your helpful tips!

I was wondering if you would check out my web site and give me some feedback. I've had several other lay people look at it and they have said they were impressed and found it very well laid out and easy to use. I would like the opinion of someone in the business to give me unbiased critique...

Hey, I tried the 2" PVC for some soap and had the same problem. Searched the internet for some help and was told the same thing to put it the freezer for about an hour and it would come right out. Well, that wasn't quite true. If you use the tool u made in conjunction with freezing for about...

Hi, thanks for at least reading my post. Yes, I have been looking thru the other categories on the forum and may have found a couple of ideas to help. Thanks again for letting me know someone actually is out there listening.

I've been making cold process soap for a couple of years now and I am ready to start selling. I have some local retail shops carrying some items on consignment and have created a web store. I'm here hoping that someone can help me out with driving traffic to my site. I've got a page for my...
