    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Thank you. I have 4 ounces left of the LBO so I might try a batch with less to compare. I did purchase a bar of 40/60 LBO/OO on Amazon and I don't like it as much as mine. Maybe 45/55 will be just right for me. Interesting to know. I usually don't do well with high OO or CO but this doesn't...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Experimenting with Zany's No Slime Castile using Playalinda Beach seawater. I made up some of the faux seawater but decided to go to the beach and get the real deal. I was planning to meet up with some family members and thought I could just leave my house early and swing by the beach on the...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Pretty Aleppo! May I ask what percentage of Laurel Berry Oil (LBO) you used and what your lye concentration was? I've been experimenting with Aleppo using a 50/50 LBO/OO with various lye concentrations and it traces unbelievably fast for me. I started with a 40% lye con (barely got it in the...

    Tropical fruit scents

    I love, love, love Peach Bellini Bikini from Natures Garden and it sticks! I don't like overly sweet fruity scents. This has just enough sharpness to make it not sweet. I did order a Peach Bellini from American Soap Supplies and theirs is more sweet with a hint of coconut. It's not bad but I...

    Zany's no slime castile

    Most of the time I use dual lye. Wondering if anyone has tried that? I'd like to give Zany's famous recipe a go.

    Today's Salt Bar - OPW

    Thank you, @AliOop. I know what you mean about the Amazon list. I always want so many new gadgets, I just keep adding to my list and then when DH wants to know what I want for a holiday I send him my list. So it does come in handy. Also, it provides a 'cooling off period' so I don't impulse buy...

    Today's Salt Bar - OPW

    40% Salt bar I made today. I used a new pouring container (link below) that I thought would make an interesting swirl and provide better control over the batter going into the mold. I didn't make as big of a mess as I usually do, but the batter did back up in the long, narrow spout. The lid is...

    Soapsquatch!

    Love it! Like Soapsquatch! In Florida we have Skunk ape. Not a very appealing name for soap though.

    June 2021 SMF Soap Challenge - Garden Inspired

    My experiment with soap dough, confetti, embeds, and a M&P lake. I envisioned a field of flowers that went as far as the eye could see with a lone tree as a destination point. My plan was to create some hills and valleys so the design wouldn’t look so flat. I also wanted the lake to span into...
