I just recently checked some year old bars. My black pepper, elemi and neroli sticks. Others need to second this to get them on the list lol Edit: Does anyone notice some EOs stick in "regular" soaps but not in salt bars or soleseifes?

I agree that some rebatch tends to take longer to harden depending on how much water was in the original soap and/or how much more you added. I will say though, that all of my rebatched soap do eventually become super hard bars. Congratulations on your first CP! You ended up with soap, so yey...

Soap made with neem oil tastes bitter. Ick. Cilantro never tasted like soap to me lol Nother useless post from me tonight haha I should probably go sleep LOL

I love it too! And the swirls suit the colors I think.

I had one customer ask me this question and I'm afraid the only answer I knew then to give her was to break/slice/cut off only what she intends to use, keeping the rest of the bar "clean" and apparently that's what she does. Used a butter knife she says... Everyone else, including us here at...

The soy wax craze has reached here too. Can't find the GW 415 or the like here though, so I've not soaped with it much (I tried the 464 and it made my soap sticky, and prone to DOS) and it's back to the drawing board for me looking for a wax, or anything else, for vegan soaps without using too...

I was gonna say something like this but DeeAnna worded it much, much better lol I live in a humid climate and surprisingly, faces still get too dry. On the other hand, there are a lot of sticky, oily faces as well lol. Then you have people with combination skin. I know for sure that one of my...

Use it in all your sinks. Here it's inside kitchen, outside kitchen (which here we refer to as the "dirty" kitchen lol), both bathrooms, my soap room... There's a bar outside near the garden spout, there's another one near the back garden spout. LOL And oh, there's several soaps in each of the...

I'm with SavonP lol I, too, am in love with Winter Moon. But everything looks great!

Looks great! Merry Christmas! All the gifts (Christmas and birthday) I've received over the last 4yrs have to do with soaping lol. My latest is from my sister, it's a puncher that makes tags so I don't have to measure and cut them one by one anymore

Seems like there's a lot of new (to me) waxes out there lately. I recently encountered palm wax here as well, and also coconut wax, and wondered how'd they be in soap lol. I haven't seen canola here though.. Thanks for this info! I tried once or twice making candles but liked soap more haha

My dad once thought it was a shampoo bar (both are round) and he said it was the worst ever shampoo he ever used and "where are the bubbles?" LOL Don't ask me how they ended up together in the shower.....

I want to make some new stuff for the new year. I sell soap, lotion bars and balms currently. I've been thinking of pucks of clay for some months now.. with EOs (maybe, but need to research more) and whatever else is needed to bind them together, then coincidentally, today I saw a post on...

Try them and see how you like it. You can test once every 2 weeks after the initial cure to see what they feel like. My son's soap currently has only 12% coconut, reduced from the initial 16% and my superfat is 2%. Just to show you. If you read up on superfat, you'll find it's not necessary to...

You're welcome! Huuuugs!

Thank you! That's very kind of you 😊 I think I've done the zap test only 3-4x since I started soaping lol, and haven't for quite a while. I'd rather make sure all my ingredients and measurements are fine before I start so I know that my soap would not have excess lye by the time I remove it...

No, I got that lol I wish I had the skills to swirl a full rose in HP soap Just thought to mention the pink-ness.... Haha

Haha that's so cool! Well it is scented with geranium, among other things lol Thing is, it's not that pink in real haha must be my camera/screen. And some of the cuts look like ham - hence why I offered it this Christmas. Here, for Noche Buena (Christmas eve meal), a lot of people serve ham so...

I posted this on my Instagram this afternoon: And by night I was already sold out. Yey! Granted, it was a small batch, which I said was "limited edition" lol but still... I was worried I was too late for gift sets. I'm actually envious of whoever gets these as gifts. 9mos cured triple butter...

Click the word that's a different color in my reply - "here" - in other's posts that's also always a link. And here again lol - Semi successful corner pour - HELP!
