I had a dresser set that was white with drawers that shade of green. I wish I still did lol. I love your soap!

Just unmolded mine, it was still a little soft. Oops. Fingers crossed it didn’t get muddy on the inside but the top looks great! I missed making soap so much.

Sign-up list: 1. Justsomeguy - it's gonna be nerve wrecking but I'm in. My first venture into multicolored soap😬 2. Ackosel - I need to get a hanger and learn how to use it. Expecting to enjoy the learning process, submit a very unimpressive entry, and have fun doing it! 3. Relle 4. dmcgee5034 -...

Waiting is truly the hardest part!

Oh no, I just ordered some for my houseplants, somehow they picked up mealybugs. Now I don't want to use it lol

Oooh hanger swirls! (Hi, I'm back lol). Gonna see if I can carve out some time to soap in the next couple days before I sign up, I haven't made soap in like 2 months and miss it so much 😭

Hello and welcome! :)

Happy early birthday! I'm going to wait to sign up until I know my soap life is back under control lol but the wheels are already turning :D

These are all gorgeous! That yellow, wow! I love the feathers, too. The only split cups I’ve seen seem too small to me, do they hold more than they seem or did you find a big one?

I did, and raised the superfat a tiny bit. The coconut oil is definitely noticeable, but it's not been too drying for me or my husband. I wouldn't use it on my 6-year-old with more sensitive skin, though.

Is your base soap fairly yellow? That might do it. I haven't used much red yet but I hear great things about True Red from Mad Micas.

It's so pretty! Fingers crossed for not going rancid!

I learned in another thread recently about legal cases that set a precident for castile to simply mean doesn't use animal fats :oops:

I cut some soap today. This one smells just like roses! I liked the wet color of the green better, haha. Imagine my surprise when I checked on it this morning, and it had gone so bright! The swirls got a little muddy, but all in all, I like it.

Hello and welcome! I'm also a general crafter and huge nerd <3

Oh I'll have to try this one too lol, I'm trying to find the perfect lard recipe for me :) Can I ask what superfat you all prefer for the lard/coconut/castor?

I feel your pain on the temp! I got impatient with the two soaps I made yesterday and soaped hotter than I usually do, and ended up with silicone rash on them both :(

Hello, and welcome! Lard makes such a wonderful bar of soap, this will be a great way to use up your stores :) Reading around is for sure a great place to start, there are a few great threads on using lard in soap around here. I bet you've already got a handle on lye safety with your...

I didn't think I was going to be trying out a new recipe today but now I am :D Anyway, to the question! I recently made a similar bar (I did 32% for the trinity and then 4% castor), and I found it to be a decent bar. I'm personally finding that I prefer lard to palm, but we're all different so...

Today I used coconut water as a partial water replacement and my lye turned bright orange! I’m making a high super fat coconut oil and mango butter soap I saw here, I think it’s @IrishLass that posted it.
