I signed up for the August soap challenge and I’ve simultaneously sworn off titanium dioxide. After one too many chalky mishaps. I’m testing another swirl recipe and set a goal to use up the hundreds of sample FO’s I have taking up space that I’m not motivated to sell off...

I just got Bright Yellow Raincoat from Mad Micas and it’s stunning. No idea if it fades yet but it is oh-so-blendable and bright.

Since I’m not using palm/lard/tallow I’ve come up with a few balanced recipes that work but rely on butters for hardness. I usually have a small margin of play time before it thickens up which hasn’t really hindered me thus far but now I’m going to need to figure out a swirl recipe with a good...

I believe in genetic predisposition. Some individuals are much more susceptible to ingested foods/additives which trigger inflammation/autoimmune disorders over time in the body and all of that can present in the skin. In those cases it can be a lot harder to route out the cause(s) to control...

Last night I decided to experiment with using my C3 wax that I had for candles. I calculated about 13% into my recipe and since it’s a higher temp wax I soaped slightly higher. It didn’t emulsify with a few short bursts of my stick blender like usual and I think I blended slightly too much...

White Mica has been my savior lol

Really? Yikes, sorry you had such a bad experience. 😕

I got my single bar cutter from Workshop Heritage. It took a while to ship but I love it. Hope you get this resolved and find a good cutter.

In my bars so far I’ve noticed easier lather with full AVJ than those used with only distilled water and coconut milk powder. Of course now I’m out and have to go hunt some more down. I’ve been experimenting with just sugar but those bars are still curing.

Welcome 😊

I have a small sample bottle of vanilla stabilizer that I haven’t tried yet and I don’t know if I’ve been motivated to. I try to embrace the brown. If it’s a light brown I shoot for blending white mica in so I can get tan shade. I find that I’m really not much of a fan of TD because it gives me...

I bought cranberry and blueberry before I knew about the discoloration in cp. I always wondered if you could infuse oils with them—then strain

Your soap looks great! I just had the exact same issue with my cut this morning. Do you use coconut milk powder? I use powder and I’ve been noticing what I think is probably a bit coconut pulp showing up in the white parts of my soap. I’m going to make up a reconstituted batch and try straining...

I went with the free recipe from Lovin Soap. Worked pretty well for me. 😊 https://www.lovinsoap.com/2017/08/a-vegan-and-palm-free-soap-dough-recipe-soap-clay/

For me I get a lot of anxiety before I add the fragrance. I’m fine with the lye part. The last thing I do is add fragrance because I’m terrified of it. I make sure my colors are how I want and I sweat bullets as I add the scent 😬. I was making a creamsicle soap for my daughters tonight and I...

Love this!

Ooh like a gradient. So cool! Do they chirp or make noise?

Welcome 😊
