Hi. I don't know if this company sends to Canada, but this is the only vanilla (and pistachio) I purchase. A bit on the pricey side (my opinion) but so spot on, I only buy it from them! Midwest sea salt company. Product number is 295165 Wholesale, Bulk and Retail Bath & Body Products -...

HI! My salt soap recipe is as follows...(I do use 10% olive oil,) but here goes: 75% 24 oz coconut, 10% 4 oz olive, 6% 2 oz castor, 9% 2 oz shea. (Adjusted down to 2 oz for 32 ounces) 10.8 oz water, 4.8 oz lye. I make this as hot process. At the end of the cook, I add the scent, and...

Wow! You take soap supplies when you go away??? I make soap like mad before I go! The only bills in my calendar are credit card due dates. Hmm I could just stop buying soaping supplies and could eliminate those! Uhhh NOT!😅

Took delivery of 50 pounds of lye Ordered 7 pounds of beef tallow. Made 2 loaves of salt soap Made 2 loaves of eucalyptus mint soap the day before Made 2 loaves of pistachio 40% tallow soap the day before that. That should cover this week so far! Christmas is right around the corner!

That's the ONE!!!!! Earlene! You are the absolute BOMB!!! Thank you!!!

Hi, all! a few days (probably a week) ago, i came across a post with a ".gov" address for essential oils. I for the life of me, cannot find it now. The government website was in very ugly list form with a buttload of essential oils listed. Does anyone know where that post is? thanx in advance!

for anyone else, that answer would be discouraging, but for me, it makes total sense! Thank you! :) i saw HP when it said CP! oops!

I have Liberty mutual. $44.00ish a month, worth the peace of mind! Because it is a "manufacturing" process, it isn't the easiest insurance to find. At the time I got the insurance, Liberty was the only one that would insure soap making, so, i have stuck with them.

do you by any chance have pics of the different stages of your cook? All the "recipes" i have seen with pics, none of them show what it is supposed to look like when it is ready to pour...:oops:

Lyrica causes migraines for me. Took it for a very SHORT time with my 4 level back fusion...as you said, NOT worth it!

Does anyone else HATE wrapping and labeling soap more than I do?🤣

Currently 0540 making 3 loaves of HP soap. 2 of Salt, and 1 of pupper...30 bars total. in the past 3 weeks, made 150 bars...almost done! I shrink wrap my soaps, and set them on their side and label them that way so they sit straight, and don't fall over. (my 3 cents worth) (inflation)

Well, update...the batch seized!...I did salvage it, though. The seizure was my fault...got impatient, and broke out the mixer...oops! won't do that again! I do believe it will be just fine. I will post pics probably tomorrow when I take it out of the molds. I used a little bit of the leftovers...

They are round "bars" must Be a PA, thing! Unless it is liquid soap, it's a "bar" , round, , balled, puck, heart shaped...doesn't matter, its a bar of soap. LOL I went with sandlewood/vanilla. I expect it to get dark due to the vanilla, which is fine...smells heavenly, so it's all good!

It is a personal preference, but I don't like to use palm oil products, which most stearic acid comes from. Soy wax is 87ish% stearic acid, and should give me a pretty solid bar.

This is the recipe i liked the best of the 100 or so I looked at from Modernsoapmaking. The soy wax is at 49%, and LOTS of extra water to keep it fluid. It is cooking as I type...sucks not being able to sleep...HOWEVER, i make a lot of soap in my spare time! Shaving Soap Formula Used 325g Soy...

Hi, all! newbie here, but not to soap making. I have been making hot process soap for years (instant gratification thing). Hot process soap can indeed be used "right away", however, I find that it is much nicer to use if it sits for 1-2 weeks to allow for evaporation of the water to occur and...

Thank you for this! I have been soaping for years, and decided it is time for me to exit my comfort zone and make shaving soap, as it is not widely available in the handcrafting market where I am in PA
