Now you need to make up a scent that will match that kind of ripple design because now I have ripples stuck in my head 😆 Maybe Gentle Ripples or Cool Ripples or Refreshing Ripples 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️😬

I like the way the design resembles ripples and would lean into that for names ~ but that's just me being a visual person 😊

I love that sparkly snowflake mica on top, it's just enough to catch your eye 🥰 I am curious about using mica on soap ~ does it rinse off in the shower or does it stick to your body like glitter does?

Well, I was trying to do a splash swirl with the main part of the soap being a light natural color (which got a bit too thick), then drop the purple clay slurry (which got way too thick), and some green clay (also a bit thick) so I tried to just stir it all together to blend it and the purple...

Somewhere on YouTube I had come across a soaper who posted some videos on making test batches but I don't remember if they included single bar measurements or dividing a batch for testing colorants and other additives 🤔

Yes, I agree the technique gives the scent staying power. My ugly bars that didn't turn out as planned (looks-wise) smell divine because of the lavender slurry I used with the purple clay 🥰 I'm going to try a bar soon to see how it feels ~ it should be a rich one since it had lots of butters in...

I was just curious if it was the company who didn't do international shipping or if there were some kind of crazy restrictions for shipping that into KiwiMoose Country 😁

Do they not ship there?

Cool beans! I have been a bit busy today but will spend some time checking it out here shortly!

I will look into that ~ I've been hesitant about adding scents to soap for a variety of reasons ~ but I think I will get more use from EOs this way as it's more an on demand/as needed thing. I might still need to be careful about strength of scents on account of my husband but I'll deal with...

Yes to ALL THAT! Now I just need to come up with a nice rosemary (for memory) citrus (for energy) type scent for my workspace and I'll be a happy camper 😄

There was a more recent thread somewhere ~ try using "salad shooter" in the search bar (?), but I want to say it's the electric one as someone mentioned it being easier on the hands 🤷🏼‍♀️

Science is crazy mystery for real! We may never know the answer but it will keep us entertained

😲 I used to get perms twice a year from the time I was 13 until I was well into my 20's ~ I haven't smelled anything that bad while making soap yet . . . Yet! Thank goodness! That would be like a traumatic flashback! 🤣 Is it supposed to happen with all milk soaps? Or maybe it's more likely with...

I have not yet experienced that and I have no idea why. All I can guess, and I stress GUESS, is maybe that would happen if the soap were to get too hot (?), like scorch the milk hot. When I was researching milk soap recipes I read a lot about the possibility of scorching and how best to prevent...

Honestly, since I don't add scents, my soaps barely have any smell, just have a natural soap smell when you put it to your nose, and I mean right up to your nose. The few I added scent to, I didn't refigerate for no particular reason (probably my fridge was full or the batter didn't get very...

Well I'm having a duh moment ~ I totally have bag of lavender buds I could use 🤦🏼‍♀️ Gee, does it seem I need some relaxation therapy?! 😬😂 Oh! Those flowers are lovely 😍

And I've just been stuffing my soap in fridge all willy nilly without covering 😆 ~ I wonder if it will help with the soda ash I get on occasion 🤔

For personal use, I'm not too concerned about being knocked over since we have no kids, grandkids or pets to worry about. But I was thinking of using chunky salts, like bath salts, if rice didn't work out.

Hello ~ I'd say it looks like a success for your first batch (unfortunate that the family got fumigated, but live & learn!). I do make goat's milk soaps and freeze the milk as you did and put it in the fridge as you did, however, I don't add scents, rarely even EOs, just because of...
