I think the general reason soap is challenging for the face is because soap is not and never will be a good ph for the face. Soap disrupts the natural acid mantle and can upset barrier function. Some people may be able to withstand soap on their face without any noticeable reactions—but many...

When I get my feet done at my favorite overpriced salon they use a lemon sugar scrub—just plain old sugar and it is divine and smells like bright lemons.

A wood grain wall pour design would work nice for one or both.

Adorable!

@jcandleattic Thank you, that makes sense now. @AliOop I’ll check that out, thanks 😊

I made a Lemon Poppy soap that I LOVE but I underestimated the “slight” discoloration that was noted. I thought I could combat it with plenty of TD. It worked initially but the tan started to creep in. I’m ok with it—it smells wonderful—but the discoloration completely goes away in the...

Stripes! They are so elegant and understated. I adore the low key and clean look they have. You could make the colors nice and contrasting or muted and subtle.

9 soaps right now—8 I made and the other is the Castile brand my husband likes because he’s a creature of habit and he doesn’t prefer my Castile lol. My favorite bar right now is my lemon poppyseed. Most of the other ones are old ones before I tailored my base recipe and I’m trying to use them...

That is gorgeous! I bet it smells divine 😊

I’m fragrance testing some Daystar fragrances today. They seem very light so far 😬 I hope the scents develop more while curing...they smell so good OOB.

Thank you! For the colors on the beer I used Nurtures Mocha Brown, TD, and a very small bit of Activated Charcoal. I thought working with beer would be tough but those damn stripes were deceptively tricky 😂

Thanks 😊

Made my first beer soap on the left—Irish Stout. Also the first time I’ve attempted some sort of hanger swirl. On the right is lemon poppy. I hope the scents stick a while.

I did a pink grapefruit soap dough cane for the half and half unchallenge a while back. It was a learning process for sure. Hard to keep the size of the cane from growing too large...I would say for soap dough—Its a fun medium once in a while but the sheer amount of time put into crafting with...

Addictive Cabbage. My fav! https://japanese-products.blog/2018/01/28/yamitsuki-cabbage-pickles-gyukaku/

I had to follow up that lately—even with the resources that I have available—I feel like I’m wanting to do something with an actual curriculum. I’ve been recently looking for online schools/classes and Formula Botanica keeps coming up. I’m looking into it but yeah—expensive 😬. I may do this in...

Thank you! I’m checking out Etsy now 😊

I’ve been dying to make a batch of soap scented with Sweater Weather from Muddy Soap Co. This is the cut and I’m a little bummed out about the discoloration as it wasn’t listed with the product at all. I’ve never had such weird discoloration before...pinks, purples and general weirdness. This is...

Welcome! 😊

I’ve been thinking about making lotion bars. I’m not sure how I would store them (don’t want to buy tins) I’ll figure something out lol. Thanks for the recipe! 😊
