I'm late then lol but I also fiddled with the calc a bit using what's in this oil and what you said you have and what's on the way lol I suck at math though so I just played with percentages These are comfortable enough numbers for me personally, assuming the sunflower isn't high oleic

That's a very deep rabbit hole I'm currently still stuck in LOL You will need to do tons of research on what's "natural" and "safe" but first I suggest you define to yourself what you mean by those two terms and stick with it. Can't wait to see your first soap :)

That is about as much as we pay here, after conversion, give or take a few cents. They did say there will be a drop tomorrow though.... Many of us use diesel though, but even that has gone up.

I'm a bit late to this lol but here you can see some Christmas soaps that are definitely not red and green or white and blue. I think it's just a matter of what inspired you about the Christmas season. You can do the same for other seasons I would think. Of course I have the advantage of being...

My condolences @AliOop If y'all think you guys have it bad... Here - an actual third world country - patients are out in tents in hospital gardens. I've seen pics of them near the fountains and parking lots. They've set up wards in the hospital chapels and hallways, and they've taken over...

What I know is.... Embed is when one (or more) soap piece/s is fully inside another soap vs Inlay is soap piece/s only on a percentage of a surface, like how you would do mosaic tiles Not sure if I explained that correctly

Mr. @Zing that happened with my eldest lol. By mid of next year he'll be moving out too @Basil I got it! I really did picture Santa. Soap looks great :)

Yknow what else you can make? An after care balm! I've approached a couple of tattoo artists with this idea but this pandemic has slowed things down for all of us. I too didn't know how to go about the soap for after tattoo care coz there's just too many variables (at least in my head lol)...

Well yes lol this is one kid who can definitely say he grew up with soap making lol He uses the wooden ones as ramps n tracks for his cars. He has taken over my seashell silicone molds and uses them with his clay. He "borrows" my spatulas and containers but I have to borrow them back lol. Every...

I'm just plainly going to show you what customers buy from me for their kids - of course I market it that way coz I made it for my own child. If I recall right the youngest so far was about 6mos old (yes I like talking to my customers hehe) but I personally only formulated this when my kid was a...

That is such a cool challenge! I am going to read the post again after I type this - I do enjoy reading your posts, always new things to learn for me. Soap looks great too in my opinion :) Edit: Are you going to do other letters too? Haha

Neem soap made by HP is probably one of the worst things ever lol at least mine was. Heat does mess things up some hahah The neem oil I use also looks different from what I see other using, maybe smells different too? It's thick n gooey and quite obnoxious out of the bottle. With no FOs and...

@Mobjack Bay huuuugs! I'm giving myself til end of this week to start soaping. Might not be enough time to get something like what I did last year with the Christmas soaps but that's life but maaaaybe I can entice some last minute shoppers. So hopefully soap making pics will be shown next week...

I'm alive! Haha how is everyone? We caught covid :( But fortunately we came out a lot better than some others. I have to say though, that this virus sucks something hard. It's been a month since recovery and we're still feeling the after effects. Hence, nothing soapy has been going on lately...

Not a native English speaker here haha but our version of English (my family's I mean) also calls that a row and when you break off a piece we call it a bite. As in "No son, you can't have the whole row coz it's mine but I can give you a bite." LOL

Yes, I agree about the humidity. Pain in the butt it is, and I live where it's upwards of 80% all year round. It's more horrible now that it's raining daily.... I use a fan+dehumidifier combo, in a room where the AC gets turned on every now n then. Of course when the AC is on I turn off the...

Nice to see you too @dibbles! Yes, thankfully enough, I am quite well hehe @ResolvableOwl, unfortunately I do know someone named Kurt, and you've described him perfectly, except that he isn't middle aged nor bald lol but maybe I'll name our next dog that 🤣 Always good to see you Mr. Zing! Here...

Story of my life lol.. And thank you! @TashaBird I'm gonna agree with KiwiMoose here.. Those do not look like stearic spots. Lovely soap though :)

Nice to see you! I mean to come on here more often but things have been really hectic as of late with construction (my soaping space is within a commercial+residential building my parents are having made next to the house so there's a lot more than just this room that needs decision making and...
