    VikingChick’s Soaps

    This is the soap that was my entry into the Soap Challenge Club competition for June. I didn’t place and I didn’t expect to…..entering these challenge occasionally has strangely been a good lesson for me. I don’t have to be the best, but feeling like I can at least compete with some of the...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Today I made test soaps using 23 new FOs, most of which were trial sizes that I've ordered both recently and not-so-recently. Then I did some cleaning....it's like scent overload in my house right now! (But it's better than it smelling like dogs, which it usually does. 😂 :rolleyes:)

    Hello Again ¡Hola de Nuevo!

    That's good to hear. We lived in El Paso for a couple of years, and just loved going to Las Cruces, Cloudcroft, etc. I was so sad to hear of fires there. I'm glad you're safe though, and that rain is coming!

    I just bought a trial size bottle of this during BB’s sale they just had. It does smell good! Good to know it accelerates.

    Floral, perfumey essential oil blend?

    This website looks like fun! Do you have labdanum? It seems like a pretty key ingredient in a lot of those blends.

    Facial Cleanser for mature sensitive skin?

    Agree! Plus I'm (usually) just more calm in general.

    Facial Cleanser for mature sensitive skin?

    So funny (or maybe not), here I am lamenting about my hair that was never really thick but is now a LOT less full than it used to be (and teasing doesn’t work as well as it used to). But my arms, face, legs, etc. have never really required a lot of intensive attention. It reminds me of the...

    VikingChick’s Soaps

    It was Awaken from NS. I’ve had this bottle for a while and the label says to use at up to 6%. I used it at 5%. Right before I made it, I looked up reviews to see if anyone had had experience with acceleration or discoloration, only to find that it’s no longer recommended for CP soap (there were...

    VikingChick’s Soaps

    So I was trying to do a spin swirl, and 4 of my 5 colors decided to accelerate! I had my soap batter at such a nice thin trace…..and then that dang FO accelerated, even though it wasn’t supposed to. I do know it was the FO because the white batter that had none kept a lovely thin trace for quite...

    Saccharide Isomerate (aka Pentavitin)

    There’s an annoying commercial on TV for a 6-in-1 face cream for men. I was curious what the 6 things were, and it’s one of them, actually mentioned under the brand name Pentavitin.

    Facial Cleanser for mature sensitive skin?

    I’m throwing in another vote for oil cleansing. I used this method for probably 10 years but recently switched to balm because it works better for my current lifestyle. I used a 50/50 blend of castor and grapeseed oil, and used a similar process as @Shelley D although after holding the hot...

    Same here! I can barely sew a button, so this is an impressive undertaking!

    Saccharide Isomerate (aka Pentavitin)

    I haven’t tried squalene, but I’ve thought a few times that I should get some. I have so many ingredients already, though…..lol
