    Are some soaps mislabeled "all natural" when they contain fragrance oils?

    I like OO + butters combo, I need rich and creamy! But I have a bunch of experimental soaps I need to use up before I make any more or the hubby might have a fit! πŸ™„ πŸ˜‚

    Are some soaps mislabeled "all natural" when they contain fragrance oils?

    I hope that pays off for you in the long run ~ if people really understood how bad commercial soap products are, we soap makers wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand for homemade soap! I have also noticed that a LOT of sellers are using the same basic ingredients nowadays: CO, PO or PKO...

    Are some soaps mislabeled "all natural" when they contain fragrance oils?

    I also have issues with certain EOs, like Lemongrass, which is sad because I love it so much! But it's a touch sensitivity, not a smell sensitivity so I can still make a room spray (and spray it when hubby isn't home!) 😁 But some people did list which EOs they used, which was helpful. It's just...

    Are some soaps mislabeled "all natural" when they contain fragrance oils?

    I would like to offer my perspective as a previous buyer of "natural" soaps. The frustration of trying to find one that wasn't overly drying to my skin and didn't contain FO was so overwhelming, it's what pushed me to making my own ~ but I did notice there seemed to be 2 types of sellers. The...

    Tussah Silk and Ice water lye solution

    I have used it with my frozen goat's milk and noticed it dissolves very slowly with frozen liquids when making the lye solution and I would end up with slimy clumps in my stick blender when I combined the lye solution with the melted oils. I might try splitting my liquid when make the lye...

    Grams vs. Ounces

    It only has one zero after the decimal, so it goes to tenths ~ but I still wonder how much is too much if that number bumps up when I'm measuring in ounces vs measuring in grams πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

    Grams vs. Ounces

    Just sharing my experience about grams v ounces: even though I am born and raised in the US and have only used we call the Standard units of measure πŸ˜‚ I'm accustomed to ounces but use grams in soap making, but for a slightly different definition of accuracy than just reading the scale. If I over...

    What happened to Zany_in_CO?

    I thought a while back Zany had made a "by the way" post that she was stepping away for a while but didn't want to discuss the reason. Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I think I watched that same video ~ I watched several actually when I was researching Aleppo soap and olive oil soaps ~ their process is definitely unique and cool to watch!
