@Louise Taylor if the batter is emulsified enough to divide into portions, there's no need to mix a lot anymore ;) just make sure it's really emulsified when you divide your batter. I dream in soap has a really great video about this. I'll attach it if/when I find it. Thank you :)

@Louise Taylor I'd love to see what you come up with! If you want help with troubleshooting batter fluidity, let us know! I'm sure there's a ton of helpful tips waiting to come to you ;) Thank you :) I have an idea to pour the batter Into individual containers and only blend once the previous...

I made salt soap today. I wanted a lot and so made a double batch - big mistake. With that much weight I couldn’t hold the jug to pour into the molds and the soap set pretty fast so the last bits were glooped in. here are some peppermint snowflakes made in a salt bar that I did a few weeks ago...

I keep coming back to this thread And watching the videos. I don’t think that I can make something that is slow moving enough, and I am slow moving myself :) so I am not going to enter. I might just try it anyway and see what happens. I will let you see if I have anything even reasonably...

I added some Bright red mica. It is still looking the same red, so far so good.

That looks lovely 😊

Today I cut my xxxth wine soap. Trying to get the perfect color with red wine is hard. I have had some that looked like a butchers block. So far this colour is making me happy. Just have to wait a week to see if it morphs to brown like the top. swirling technique is a work in progress. This one...

Congratulations to the winners and well done everyone for the marvelous entries :)

The soap is sitting on my marble pastry board from which I took my inspiration, so all In the one picture. It is a salt bar scented with lemon EO and colored with AC. Quite pleased with this for my first competition. :)

I have tried this but eventually the brown bleeds into the white for me.

Hi there :) I have read several threads about vanilla, embracing the brown, using VS, or TD. I am in Europe so dont have access to several of the mentioned suppliers. I have tried using a VS with regular vanilla FO, it turned brown after 8 weeks. I have tried a ‘white’ vanilla from Manske that...

1. Catscankim have been wanting to try this technique 2. Primrose - love this style! Hopefully, I don't lose my marbles trying to achieve it ... 3. Arimara - I may fail but at least I'm experienced with this brand of fail. XD 4. Elizevh - Oooh, So Pretty. I can't wait to try this out. 5. dibbles...

I would be interested to have more information on how you do this.

Thanks for all the information and the link :)

Thank you! I will do that. There is a spirulina farm just down the road from me and I would love to be able to use this local product.

Love the spirulina. I must try this alcohol extraction. I have only tried with oil and it went brown after a few months.n

Thank you for your replies :)

Hello. I would love some feedback on my shower gel recipe, particularly if it needs an emulsifier or not. If it does then what to use? Here is my tentative recipe. It is untried as yet as I am waiting on some of the ingredients. Water 41% Glycerine 3% Rose hydrolate 18% Xantha...

I made some hot process shave soap and poured into a pringles can. Then I cut it and squished the rounds into the aluminium tins. This seems to have worked although it is not the prettiest. When I have more time I am going to just try pouring the hot soap into the tin. I think once it is cooked...
