I've had that happen to me before. If you're interested, for future batches, you can read here what advice I got. I wonder now if it's the amount of charcoal.....

I picked no. 5 Biased maybe, my own "font" is similar lol But no. 6 is a close second

I wanted to use it for the lotion bar, which is yellowish due to the raw beeswax, to represent the cheese in the pic. Hence why I thought to use the red glassine. I ordered some already, gonna test it myself. Thanks for the responses y'all!

I mentioned this thread to my cousin and she sent me a message saying "Dawn to Earth soaps all over the house" lol Yep, she's one of my best testers/customers, and she's not even in the same country lol I like seeing my soaps being used...

Absolutely awesome @Vicki C! I was hoping you'd post something about this soap when I saw it in the entry thread. Anyone who knows me here knows how much I love natural colorants and the one thing that limits me is access to the colors themselves lol, but seeing soap made with lots of them...

I've been eyeing all her books since the beginning but I never had the budget for them, especially not right right now lol but thank you @Zany_in_CO for pointing us to that free sheet, helps a lot. I've always wished I knew how she gets such bright colors lol coz I've only gotten muted ones...

Lemme point you to this thread 😊

Yep, I used them for a while too, became too heavy to lift one full tray just to get to one soap on the next tray haha

I have one like it but it was made locally I don't have a newer pic lol I grabbed this off another post. In USD it'll cost less than 100 haha but that's our standards. It was made by a small time carpenter to my specs. Your hubby should know better if buying costs more than making but in my...

Oldie but goodie, personally. Pink one is my triple butter soap that lasts forever. White puck isn't mine. Small piece was/is one of my earlier soaps. I need to take pics of the current soaps in the bathroom. And kitchen. And elsewhere...

I saw them! I didn't squint! They're lovely.. Reminds me of yema cake 😊

More importantly, will it stain my lotion bars? Here's the idea... I plan on selling a set for Christmas, of soap and lotion bar. Soap looks like ham - it's more for levity this season, and it's a traditional thing here - and I want to wrap the lotion bar to look like it represents queso de...

@winusuren have you read the whole thread of Zany's? LOTS and lots of info there, to answer your questions and others you haven't thought of lol.... @JeffBez I have nothing to add to the recipe but be prepared to find out if lye based soap just doesn't work on your skin. It happens. Also, I'm...

If it was me I'd take the 3% off the Castor and add it to my shea. If it was also me I won't use olive, but RBO, but you already know that by now haha. I'd also reduce my superfat since there's no coconut at all. With your current recipe, it would take a longish cure and that high a superfat...

Me, Rice Bran Oil! For me personally, it's less drying, it's way cheaper, and it helps with hardness and longevity a bit too. It's one of my favourites oils actually. If your sunflower is high oleic, you can halve your olive with that too if it costs less. I like how sunflower oil lathers...

Thank you! I learned something new today, and it's not even 8am! Haha @Mobjack Bay thanks for the soap parmesan/dust idea I'll have to try n see if that works for HP soap

Wow those are brilliant! I'd probably tip over the 2nd one if I saw it in real lol to see if the ice moves. The first ones reminds me of resin work. The recycled one is an awesome concept and Queer bull horns make me giggle hihi, cute!

My long list of soap recipes to try never got shorter.... LOL Side note, I use my triple rice on my kid if I've run out of the RBO one in the shower hehe Think about it real hard before making this a business. Do your thorough research. There's a lot of experience others have posted here about...

You're welcome! Glad to be of service haha That's exactly how I do it. Just a short burst or two 😊

This is CP, yes? I've not tried rice flour nor rice puree in CP but before my soap starts cooking, the puree indeed makes a gloppy mess inside my pot when mixed in with the oils. It sinks to the bottom and "acts" quite funny (I poke it n move it around with my spatula before mixing lol) until...
