    Body soap vs. Face soap vs. Hand soap

    I’ve been playing with my recipes constantly, but my face is the most sensitive so I use my soap everywhere including my face. If I walk out of the shower and my face feels ok then I’m good. I figure the rest of my body will be fine too then. I’ve added additives for soaps for heels, gardener...

    Failed attempt and rebatching

    🤔Zany, today I plan to clean my soaping room and I’m going to get out the shoebox with that soap in it. I will let you all know what I discover and do next! Thank you! I didn’t know orange was used to “round out”. I had added the orange because I read someone’s review of the plumeria on the site...

    Failed attempt and rebatching

    Geez, where was I? Yes you’re right! You know the saying… goats are like potato chips.. you just can’t have one lol! I have managed to sell some to some great families this summer. Now I just have to watch how many I breed this winter!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Ohhh!! That makes sense! That’s just really cool! As a kid I lived in Rhodesia for awhile , called Zimbabwe now, and my husband and I did trips to Algeria- to the Saharawi camps. My parents also went a bunch of times to different places in Africa! That’s really cool your mom has been there! I...

    Leather Fragrance Oil - Which supplier is best?

    Hi @bonnyny and @Professor Bernardo ! Can I ask what percentage you used ( if you’ve tried it yet Prof) old west ? I made some soap with it and it’s curing. I used it at 3% because that’s what the recommendation was but I also saw I could go higher I think? My husband loves the scent and I do...

    Lavender fragrance

    Thank you Mobjack! I tried to design it in the style she likes. I’m going to make it again and see if I can make the mica lines shine more. I actually don’t order from BB but it’ll be interesting to hear how that FO works!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    That is amazing AliOop! My husband and I have been to Africa a couple of times to refugee camps teaching for different reasons and we were just talking about that the other day. I bet the kids had fun! I can’t wait to hear how your next demonstration goes. I should watch you on the Taiwan...

    Lavender fragrance

    I saw you like Camden Grey 40/42 . I ordered it awhile back and plan on using it in the same recipe as the one I just made, except not with micas this time. I don't intend on coloring it. I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen. After I made this one, I sent a picture to my soon to be...

    Lavender fragrance

    I had read the same about clay absorbing the fragrance and anchoring. I've watched Ellen Ruth videos and she always puts clay and colloidal oatmeal in her recipes. She doesn't anchor the scent first though. I've been using 1 TBS per 2 pounds, but I've read 1 TBS per pound too. I'm pretty sure I...

    Lavender fragrance

    It’s been almost a year since my post about finding a lavender scent for my mother, and since then I’ve added fragrance oils and micas. It’s been a fun learning experience. I just cut my first soap made with lavender and sage from Nurture and I’m sure my mother will love it! Her 91st bday in...

    DOS for the first time! Talk me down off the ledge!

    It’s really beautiful soap Zing. I’m sorry that happened. For what it’s worth, I had that happen very soon after I made some soap and I’m sure it was the FO as I had made some other batches with the same oils and they were fine. But your soap IS beautiful and I love the name!
