Hallo all! The only thing soap related that I did today was take pics of my almost done soap studio/lab/dungeon/sanctum/room (yes, I want and need a name for it lol.. Any ideas?) Here's one Still lots more work to do. The metal bracket things are for the fake walls of the "curing room" and my...

That is gorgeous soap :)

Haha and here my only "parameters" were: we eat it almost daily so it's always on hand; it was reportedly good for the skin (did not look it up in terms of soap but I figured, why not) and; well, I'm Filipino, and rice is a thing here (trying to go for natural, local, etc. branding though I came...

That's brilliant!

Hugs Mr. Zing! Amisshoo! All is well as can be hehe... I hope soon I can be more active coz I've missed seeing your posts

I moved my soap rack around... That count? Reason being we got flooded again ugh.. Soap's all sweaty but I have no time to clean them up just now. Its almost 2am and we just finished cleaning the living room Hope everyone's having a good start to the week! Miss you guys n gals :)

Not used lard or tallow but I'm guessing you'll have to check melting point of each.. One to know if you're to melt it first or last, coz in my experience with lard in soap, it smells when heated too long or too much. Also, to know how melty your final product will be - increase or decrease...

Short answer - it's one of the easiest recipes to HP, in my opinion. My thread is linked above, with far between updates spanning a year lol. I used very less water compared to my other HP recipes but go with the amount you think you can still control.

Soapy thing for today is checking in on the forum hehehe Pssst.. Miss you guys :)

I do it like DeeAnna! Also, one of my molds had a label that said each was 45g so I went with that.. Then I noted that there was excess and adjusted my batch size accordingly.

Correct me if my understanding is wrong... I use rice flour/powder in ALL my soaps... What makes this one different is the addition of the other rice stuff. In none of the soaps can you feel the rice powder (unless of course I do add something else that's coarser). As for the other...

Those widdle crop tops made my day lol and just in time before it ended too lol, so cute! Your galaxy pants are a close second to that lol your mama's got style hehehe, bless her Thank you for posting! Glad they're all OK :)

No exfoliation in mine. The rice flour I use looks very similar to my kaolin actually.. Just a different shade of white. Maybe if it were a coarser grind?

I made soap a couple of days back... Been so busy just now was able to take pics. Here are the bars that show the most contrast lol the rest are just meh.. HP triple butter (shea, Cocoa and mango) and avocado oil, colored with manjistha/madder infusion and TD in 3 amounts/shades. You will be...

Nice! The name suits it very much :)

So pretty! You're right about the marbling, very beautiful

Yep! That's right, the percentages. And the sunflower is high oleic. I should have mentioned. I was 50/50 on the RBO.... I mainly used it coz I have lots of it lol and it's pretty affordable for me, even the cold pressed one (not the one I use for soaping, which is even cheaper lol). I think I...

My thanks too @DeeAnna! Learned something new today (even though I haven't seen nor heard of these plants growing near me) again.

Me neither. Or they're friendly but know nothing about what I'm asking them. Very hard to DIY anything where I am.... Those dividers look awesome!

Lovely looking soaps :)
