    Nobody wants to try shampoo bars unless they're free...

    My hair is down to my butt and I use a shampoo bar and some conditioner bar on the ends (my own mix). I made a beard soap that had men buying me out in 1 week! I can't keep that in stock, it is so popular!

    Prices!!!

    Sigh. I wish we could all get along! I am not saying love, just be civil to each other! It is a wonder that space aliens even come to visit, with the way we all behave.

    Sandalwood

    I love Sandalwood, but can find it heavy. I mix it with Jasmine for a great scent for both men and women.

    I the flyer that goes with my shampoo soap, I have listed that it IS a Lye based soap, and how to transition to a bar from commercial shampoos. I sell "Tastes" for a dollar each. I usually have batter left over, so I have a candy mold to make these up. One lady didn't believe that ZNSC was as...

    As an aside, I use homemade shampoo that is made with lye. My whole family uses it, no problems with hair damage.

    My hair it past my butt, I made my shampoo bar with this in mind. As to how you use it with long hair - I wet my head, hair going down my back. I rub the bar in the direction of my hair growth, from forehead to nape. I rub my scalp to suds up, rinse and re-apply to the ends and suds it up. I...

    Conditioning bar needed

    You can put some plastic canvas under it, but I just leave the lid off for a few hours.

    Conditioning bar needed

    My hair conditioning bar only has 4 ingredients. BTM 25, Cetyl alcohol, Coco butter, and a nourishing oil of my choice. I do add in a fragrance oil, but use it sparingly. Edit to add: I don't use any chemicals I can avoid - as we have freaky sensitive skin at our house. My bars are 3.3g on...

    What a wonderful gift! You will have to keep us posted on how much soap can be "in cure" with it! BTW, does Hubby have the plans he can share?

    Waxes for lotion bars

    Waxes for lotion bars

    You can purchase CO that has a 93 degree melt zone. Mine is a 76 degree and it holds up to our summers in PA. All had fats gives the bar a nice solid feel, and holding in your hands will cause a slight melt so you can spread the product around. Mine has been used, unscented, for week old...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Try paste food coloring. This is used to color icing and it can become an intense color with just a dab of it.

    Ideas to get rid of excess soap in a hurry?

    Here the outside kitchen is called a Summer Kitchen. Pottsgrove Manor, in Pottstown, PA has a summer kitchen and they use it in the Historical re-enacting they do for open house and tours. Yes, soap was made there so the potash fumes would not circulate in the main house.

    Waxes for lotion bars

    I use Cocoa Butter {dissented}, Bees Wax, and ethically sourced Palm oil for my Vegan Lotion Bars. the PO is a bit high in price, but I know the area it comes from. It is the same place I get Palm Nuts for my Macaw.
