    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Sometimes that glob in the middle is soft enough to mix into the part that's fully liquid ~ coconut oil is funny like that ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

    Facial Cleanser for mature sensitive skin?

    I know ~ it really seems odd to cleanse with oil ~ and for me, especially coconut oil, but go figure with a little olive oil to keep it from drying out my skin, it actually works ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ. But I was at a point years ago that I almost went to a dermatologist but I had no insurance and didn't really...

    Facial Cleanser for mature sensitive skin?

    I know the frustration ~ when I first started researching simple and natural ways to clean my face, I came across the oil cleansing, which turned out well for me. Be kind to your skin ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

    Facial Cleanser for mature sensitive skin?

    Girl ~ I feel you! My face has always done its own thing, sometimes it seems not to care, other times it doesn't want anything to touch it ๐Ÿ˜• Honestly, for the past few years, I've been using coconut oil with a dribble of olive oil plus a few drops of EOs (tea tree, frankincense, rose...

    Making swirls

    You are not alone! I started with recipes that were mostly olive oil so they were slow to trace (no other additives to accelerate trace), so when I started changing my recipes to include more butters I quickly learned that trace happens much faster now! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Just curious ~ do those rounds fit in a shaving soap cup to use with a lather brush? Or do you lather with your hands? Is that going to be the name? "Chunky like applesauce"? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜„ Turn those ๐Ÿ‹ into ๐Ÿ‹-ade ๐Ÿ˜

    Underrated and Overrated Soaping Ingredients

    Interesting about the beer ~ so that yeasty scent carries through ~ I was wondering how the heat from lye would affect the beer ๐Ÿ˜‰

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Make sure it's safe to use around roses first ~ they can be finicky about changes. But I'm sure the deer won't like it!

    Oily odor in olive oil soaps

    I was curious about that also because olive oil soaps get better with age ~ 6 months to a year of curing is best. I hate that long cure time but it really helps. My first 2 soaps were olive oil soaps, one with green tea and the other with activated charcoal to see if there would be any...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Sometimes I envy those who are organized (my mom is one, but I did not get that gene). I am one of those "organized chaos" people ~ it may look like a mess to anyone else but I know exactly where everything is ๐Ÿ˜ The minute I clean and organize everything, I can't work because I have to go find...

    How does this look???

    Hard to say what healing properties actually survive the saponification process, after all, it is a chemical action (or reaction ๐Ÿค”) taking place causing the oils to change into soap so ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ If there is an ingredient you want to use specifically for the healing properties, it's best to make a...

    tooth soap

    I have never heard of tooth soap ~ I learn something new all the time on this forum ๐Ÿ˜„ My personal experience started with a nasty rash around my mouth that turned out was a reaction to fluoride so instead of trying to find toothpaste without fluoride, I make my own "toothpaste" using coconut...

    How does this look???

    I do agree with lowering the coconut oil, especially since her skin is already dry and irritated. I have found that my healthy skin can tolerate it slightly better than my irritated skin (due to skin sensitivity rashes), but once my skin is irritated it's best to avoid anything that is overly...
