Hey everyone, So I have made so far 2 batches of soap in the last few months. Still kind of a beginner on all of this. My question is, When I made the soap, I used a pot to heat up the stuff until it became like a thick pudding before putting it into molds. I am guessing this is considered...

I am wondering where I can purchase Sodium Chloride( Lye) to make my soap? I used Sodium Hydroxide once, but wanted to use sodium Chloride this time.. Amazon does not carry either...

Ouch, I would think apple cider vinegar would be irritating to the delicate skin down there...

Lol, Believe me, I have been wiping properly. I still am prone to UTI's though. I also have Interstitial cystitis which is chronic irritation of the bladder so that makes me more suseptible.

Does your daughter use soap elsewhere though( Like butt region)?? I mean I am okay not using any soap on my vulva, but feel I absoultely need some kind of soap on my butt area ( sorry if that came out gross).. I am very prone to UTI's and have to keep clean.... This is so frustrating.

I know, that is what it is coming too. I just am prone to Urinary tract infections so have to keep clean to some extent I think...

I thought about that and looked for something, but those solutions are loaded with chemicals... I am highly chemical sensitive. Do you know of any solutions that could be used or even made that are actually gentle and do not contain a ton of chemicals??

Oh the list you read off is the New version of ingredients.. Before they did not have the sorbitol or sodium gluconate. I am just trying to find something that does not irritate my vulva area so bad... :(. I hate that my skin is so snesitive down there. I have IC( Interstitial Cystitis )of the...

Hi, thanks for the response. I was using a soap made by a company called "unscented company". It was a unscented fragrance free glycerin soap. I did very good with it ( the ingredients were : Sodium Palmate, sodium palm kernelate, palm kenel acid, glycerin, sodium Chloride). Well they changed...

Is there a reason you prefer the proplyene glycol to the alcohol? I am sensitive to Polyelethyele glycol so not sure if they are related. I am trying to make a Melt and pour glycerin soap just to use since I have Severely sensitive skin and seemed to do well with just plain unscented glycerin...

I am making my own melt and pour glycerin soap and was wondering which kind of alcohol is best to use. I read somewhere that denatured was the best one to use. Then I read some people use rubbing alcohol, but that it can leave your soap smelling of alcohol. Any suggestions on what is best to use...

You must be right. I mean the one thing I cannot understand is the soap I was buying said unscented. It had no smell at all really. Now when they channged it, it definitely has a scent( fraugrance), yet they claim it is all unscented. The woman at the company claimed they did not change the...

I have a question. I have super sensitive skin and have been using an unscented glycerin soap I was buying. They had the least amount of ingredients in it which I loved! Sadly they changed their product after so many years and they added crap to it like sorbitol which I cannot tolerate. These...

Well the clear unscented glycerin soap I was using( store bought) did not have all the added ingredients which is why I love it. It is a shame they stopped making it. The one I was using only had these ingredients : Sodium palmate, sodium palm kernelate, palm kernel acid, Glycerin, and sodium...

I am trying to make my own so I can avoid some of the ingredients in the store bought stuff...

Hi all. I am a newbie and just made my my first batch of soap. I have SUPER sensitive skin and was only able to tolerate one kind of soap which I was buying ( it was a unscented glycerin soap with only few ingredients). They changed their ingredients recently and added other stuff so I decided...

Thank you for clarifying that for me, I appreciate it.. :)

Thanks everyone so much for the tips. Well, I was adding the Glycerin as a 5% super fat. That is what Soap Calc said to do. Hmm, this is my first time so Please feel free to advise if I am doing something wrong. I am making this soap because I have LOADS of allergies and am very sensitive. I do...

Hey All, I am new here and just wondering since I am about to make my first batch of soap, Wanted to know what it the best way to cure/dry the soap once it is in the molds? Would it be better to cover them in a sealed container, or just leave them out to air dry? My recipe is 20% palm kernel...
