If you check here, there's tests on 3 different oils at 75%, Rice Bran Oil included. And if you scroll down there's a link to a single oil test in there. But yes, I make a high RBO soap that I don't use before it hits 4 months. It takes a while to harden and never becomes as hard as some of my...

Maybe she/he means to be "eco-friendly?" If yes, then you're in for a lot of headaches lol and at the end I don't think making soap can be completely sustainable or eco-friendly.. There's packaging to think about - not just your final output but the containers your supplies come in. There's...

Roller here too! My grandma is a rubber though... I have noticed, and I know for sure I've commented on it somewhere here, that how you make your lather is a factor. When she uses the same soap, I make more lather. Staying tuned for more! And yey for butter soaps lol

Hugs @Zing and @Ladka! I doubt there would be any soapy thing for me between now and New Year's and I just sat down for a minute to check on here lol, but in case I don't get online anytime soon.. Merry Christmas to you and yours, for those who celebrate it! We do here, very...

@Martha hopefully the tallow smell mellows down over time... Or use them but don't use the white colorants with it LOL My meat soaps came about when I added zince oxide to part the batter and attempted to swirl - in HP I think that way has more chances of getting meat soap, given the...

Yey for natural colorants! Your soaps look awesome 😊 No soap making today but lots of planning for next year.. While cleaning house, buying ingredients and prepping for Noche Buena tomorrow lol

So much yey! So glad for you. Kudos to hubby and your daughter! Now to find myself a handy hubby too..... ROFL

Haha yes, that was ham. I once made wagyu/corned beef/steak soap before too LOL I see the cows! They even got black hooves lol how cool is that. The soap doesn't smell like meat though, right? Haha

For me personally, this might drag a bit with 40% waxes. I think I started with 35% and went lower to less than 30%. It's up to you. Try one tiny batch and see! If something needs to be added remelt a bar and up something and take notes n do the math after lol

@AliOop and @Ladka you both are kind ladies! I gave a whole load of bars to the builders who are constructing my parent's building next door (where my soap room is) and a few of them immediately used theirs for washing up before going home. Most said they were giving a few bars to their wives...

Good to know about the soy wax lol I should try mine then instead of letting this waste. At least for Dustin's dad if he ever gets a chance to come home (covid issues lol) anytime soon. I wonder how different the 415 is from 464 if not in soap. Or candles haha My liquid oils are at 22%...

Not sure...... Sorry Cant wait to see your HP-CP-Confetti soap!

Ugh. This tells me that I'm looking towards a fail if I'm to make these.. And I've always wanted to lol. I currently don't have much competition if I were to sell them, but this, what you said, is my worry. That and how to package them without using foil or plastic. This humidity is turning out...

That sounds much better than dirty kitchen! I'm gonna borrow that.. See if my 4yr old will learn that instead n confuse everyone 🤣

@Basil yeah, we pick our own battles and I refuse to do battle regarding palm haha. Because then I'd have to argue about the coconut oil industry, which isn't as bad as palm, but yeah.. I'd rather just not lol. I hope I don't upset anyone with that comment though I belatedly see how it can, if...

Awww shucks 😋 But I wanna talk about yours! Your avatars are always cute, and so friendly looking 😊 And I agree with Zany. You don't even look your age.. More like mine.

This is common I believe, with food stuff on top of the soap, hence why I said that any food stuff has to be incorporated IN the soap. Also, I'm of the belief that once the soap leaves your hands in excellent condition, and it comes with proper instructions, whatever outside factors that render...

I've only encountered mold, by accident, when I had a couple of bars left somewhere I'd forgotten LOL It's very humid here right, they were on top of kraft paper sheets, in a small wooden crate and they had sweat like crazy, enough to "melt" the soap and have the paper stuck to it. I imagine...

Was wondering about this, thank you for the info. I haven't gone as high as 8% and none of the EOs that stick for other soaps stuck for my salt bars either. They stuck a lil more for soleseifes but still less than regular soaps.

Silly question. Did that soap "brighten" your hands too? Maybe you've discovered the secret to those whitening soaps 😋
