I've been using it and loving it for half a year now, but the moment I took that picture I realised that I forgot to cover the divider with some baking paper as usual... Trying to clean it from the soap now 😬😬 I've cut my soap since then and it's now resting under a piece of cotton to protect...

My soapy thing today was, finally, soaping after a while: a pine-themed soap with pine needle infused water and olive oil. Curious to see how it comes out. The green is spirulina so trying to keep it covered to see if the colour stays, fingers crossed! It's now CPOPing in the oven. My struggle...

Many things ring true to me in this thread, but especially this! Never going to button that top button! I also struggle with rollneck shirts, they seem to pair well with lots of clothes but I know the moment I put them on I will unconsciously keep touching them to pull them away from my neck...

My soapy thing of the day is prepping for my next soap session, the only two things left to decide are which EOs and green colorant to use for my pine inspired soap. So I've been searching the forum and the internet for inspiration, wondering if it's worth to try and mix french green clay with...

Thank you, I'll keep in mind soy wax for future tweaks! :) I think my father definitely agrees with the generalisation! On the other hand my partner made me smile when he asked for a softer bar soap as the edges were "a bit too rough" 😁

This is definitely good news! 😁 I'll be trying a 15% Shea butter version of my recipe for sure at some point, you got me curious!

Thank you everyone for your tips! Thank you both, this made me realise that I based my tweaked recipe a bit too much on numbers. This was a good point, I want to go back to the drawing board now and maybe just test more, have a few minor tweaks using the same ingredients, see how it goes. And...

I haven't being soaping for a few months now (work and a few other projects which took priority got in the way, plus I honestly made so much soap between December and February!), but today has been a forum-catch-up day and inventory day to prep for the next batch 😁

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some feedback on a few tweaks to my beginner CP recipe - the disclaimer is that I've taken this from one of the first soap recipes I've tried and it worked well for me, it has a good hardness and a creamy lather which my whole family likes, but I've noticed...

I second this! It has helped me a lot. I think I fall into the small space soapers category as I live with my partner in a 50mq studio apartment. You either choose food/clothes or soaping supplies lol. For me the key was finding storage spaces which would end up unused otherwise. I have all my...

All the confetti soaps look so lovely and cheerful! This has been a very interesting thread to read - food for thought in case I ever decide to start selling in the future.

This is really handy! Thank you for sharing. I tried to create a spreadsheet for myself a few months ago that would give me the price breakdown but it's less easy to use and I just realised I actually missed the lye and fragrance on mine. I'm happy you shared yours as it just makes more sense...

So beautiful! I was wondering if you need to warm or wet the soap before adding the M&P rose and petals so they stick better?

I've unmolded my first Circling Taiwan Swirl ever, I was very curious to see how this would turn up! There are speckles of clay so I guess I didn't mix clay well enough. But the colours are actually showing more defined than I thought they would, I poured at what I thought was too thin a trace...

Congratulations to everyone, stunning soaps! I'm very late to the party (I was planning to do this outside of the challenge due to not meeting requirements) as I had an unexpected busy month and only managed to do my first circling Taiwan swirl yesterday. As someone else said in the thread, it...

I'm not sure if it was a momentary thing when I tried the link the other day (I got a DNS error) but I can access the page fine now :)

For some reason it doesn't work for me either now, but I visited it without problem last week... So odd.

I really love the look of the Abalone & Sea! Can I ask which colour did you use for the bottom layer?

I don't meet the requirements so I think I'll try to do this outside of the challenge :) I only have one mica and three clays right now, I was wondering if anyone has tried doing the Taiwan swirl with clays rather than colours?

I'm really intrigued by your syndet shampoo bars that you can pour. The only recipe I've tried ended up being quite dry and the only way I could get the batter in the mold was to use a LOT of pressure, so much that I'm considering if I like the shampoo bar enough to do all that effort again (and...
