    Laundry Soap Bar Oils??

    I've seen olive oil stain removing sticks in shops here in EU, but I think it was mixed with terre de somières, which is a stain removing clay. I also know people who use Marseille soap (mainly palm based these days) for laundry, probably because true soap isn't that easy to find around here. If...

    HP Questions - small batch OPHP

    Oooh a HPOP thread! 😁 I suddenly realize how long it's been since I've made soap this way and now I feel like an old lady saying (imagine croaking voice) 'you know, back in my day we did like this...' but anyway, here's my 2 cents. When I did ophp I made sure it went super slow (20min). I had...

    Soap Growing & Cracks

    I had a similar experience on 2 occasions. First one was zany's no slime castile (100% oo version). Mainly the ungelled soaps got so much soda ash they started to look weird and crack (when cutting them open, you could see a small slither of actual soap inbetween the thick soda ash on all...

    Those coffee beans are awesome @CreativeWeirdo ! @ResolvableOwl this is an un-challenge, there's no voting, so also no strict deadline. I'm curious to see how it turns out!

    December Un-Challenge - Retry

    Beautiful soap @melonpan! On the original photo it looks to me like they painted those little white spots on later (they're going over the tree). The larger white spots are a mystery to me too... I think you did an amazing job recreating such an intricate soap. Your hard work and perseverance...

    December Un-Challenge - Retry

    The idea is retry anything you feel you could do better. This could be a technique, a certain type of soap/recipe, a challenge,... If you're willing to post your first try next to your current attempt, that would be awesome, but you're not obliged to do that (some people might not have pictures...

    December Un-Challenge - Retry

    @MellonFriend please don't feel discouraged! If there's anything you'd like to try again, feel free to do it in this challenge. Just like @dibbles said, un-challenges are meant to be low-key😉 so just getting a certain color just right would definitely fit the description for this un-challenge!

    No you didn't! Your soap was beautiful! And the challenge only said to use 5 colors, there wasn't any kind of requirement about the order of the colors😉 you should be very proud of what you made!
