    Best woods balsam / pine / Christmas tree fragrance

    Did they change the formula for Winter Wonderland for it to have such a drastically reduced usage rate? Is it more concentrated now? I loved it at the previous strength! And, they were very popular!!

    Salt soaptastrophe!

    Well shoot. Now I’m confused. Definitely some thin bit of CO on top. And soap still a little soft. It’s been awhile, but I thought last batch was hard as a rock at unmolding. These are at about 20hrs. What do you think?

    Salt soaptastrophe!

    What % SF do you use? And What % salt PPO? There was the tinniest bit of oil on top of the edges of some of these. Maybe that happened before and I didn’t notice it. But, at least there was enough saponification and emulsification happening that my salt was nicely suspended this time. I am just...

    Salt soaptastrophe!

    I’m back in the game!!! Whew what a workout!!! There was a little oil separating on top, after I poured them. I blended for about 15 minutes! And I was definitely getting thin trace. But, I think it was my 20% SF.

    Salt soaptastrophe!

    it's hard to believe it's been weeks since this disaster soap. I've def been sort of traumatized into inaction. Today I mixed lye, and measured all the things to give it another go. I really need a wall clock in my studio!!! I'm not sure how long ago I mixed the lye, maybe 1.5 hours ago. I mixed...

    Why does oil leak from soap?

    If it doesn’t zap after a week, I’d let it sit. I’m starting to learn that time heals most soaps.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I’m trying real hard to get back on the hoarse after my soaptastrophe. I’m going to prep some ingredients today, but I have to work my day job. Hopefully tomorrow I can remake my big bi-annual batch of salt soap. Feeling really nervous about it. I think I know what happened, but still…

    Help with lotion recipe from DIY Bath & Body

    Help with lotion recipe from DIY Bath & Body

    I’ve been using my cream and lotion for a couple weeks now and I looooooorve them! The body lotion is in a pump. The body lotion takes a lot longer to rub in than store bought lotion. Lots of time being white on the skin. Is this the amount of water, emulsifying wax, or other ingredients?

    Best woods balsam / pine / Christmas tree fragrance

    I love winter wonderland and for me it behaved really well, even in a pull through technique soap. I did not know about the new usage rates. @dibbles Is the new rate due to a new strength of FO?
