    Help me make my first lotion

    @cmzaha Thank you for so generously sharing your recipe! Curious why you use both Optiphen and Germall Plus? Extra insurance?

    New pop-up ads

    I’m not crazy about these new pop-up ads that are showing up on SMF! I did, however, see one just now that made me think of our own @Ephemerella! 😂😂 Did you request this, girl? Like those “which ad experience do you prefer” things? LOL!!!

    Tall & Skinny Mold

    Thank you for that detailed explanation! I’m glad you were able to make the dividers work. I’ll definitely check out Winston and Walter. Thank you!

    Tall & Skinny Mold

    Where did y'all get your tall & skinny molds? I'm finding myself with a gift card to burn and thought I'd invest in a nice wooden one with a silicone liner...maybe even a lid! Of course Nurture is sold out unless I want to buy a 9 lb mold (o_O). Does anyone have this one or know anything about...

    Adding glycerin to CP

    I just meant that as long as your soap isn’t harsh, it probably doesn’t really matter that much what’s in it. Maybe consider a higher-than-normal superfat to prevent drying?

    Adding glycerin to CP

    I’m thinking that for after-tattoo care, you’d be better off formulating some kind of water-based balm. Soap is soap, but what remains on the skin is more important for healing, in my (limited) experience.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Last week, in a flurry of impulse, I ordered some glitters from MM, and they came today! 🤩 It’s hard to tell in the photo, but the lower left one is little holographic stars. I don’t really have time to make soap this weekend, but now I might have to!

    I really want to do this challenge but I’m not sure I can make the time this month. So sad though! 🙁 Dang job. I’m looking forward to what y’all come up with!

    Help me make my first lotion

    You might do this already, but every time I open up a new bottle of liquid oil, I add ROE (rosemary oleoresin) as an antioxidant. That will help extend the shelf life (not indefinitely, but longer than without it).

    Help me make my first lotion

    it hasn’t gone grainy for me, but I don’t keep it in the bathroom. This one I keep out in my kitchen/living room area, where I usually use it after washing dishes. A while back I made a face lotion and added some sodium lactate as a mild AHA, thinking it would be helpful as an exfoliant as my...

    Help me make my first lotion

    I made HB&M’s Lavender Oat Dream Cream, but made some mods based on what I had. It turned out really nice! Here’s what I did differently:
