Hmm, I think my stick blender is stainless steel. I will double check it though to be sure. I might go get another one just because that is something I haven't changed. Thanks for thinking of that. I mean at this point I'm willing to try anything. ❤️

These have been curing for 6 weeks and just started smelling off. I actually used all new oils. I just bought them a few days prior to using them. It's so frustrating.

Hi there. So sorry your daughter also has MCA. Glad the naturopathic treatments are helping her. I have tried so many things. It makes life very hard. With the soap, I do use distilled water. I actually added the ROE in because of this issue with my soaps going rancid. I really only added in...

I have been making soap for quite a while now and seem to always be having issues with my soaps going rancid no matter what I do. I am doing everything right. No metals, keeping in separate room that is dark, using a dehumidifier and fan blowing on them, using distilled water etc. It seems that...

Thank you so much!!!. I am just trying to get this right. I honestly only make my soaps because I'm allergic to So many things. It's rough. Right now I have my one batch I made 5 weeks Ago and it's smelling already. I have no other soap I can use so will have to use it until I make the new...

Thank you for all the suggestions, I really appreciate it. I am allergic to lemon. Could I use sodium gluconate instead? Also, how much sodium gluconate would I add? Where do I purchase this? Last question is, is it okay to keep using the dehumidifier and have a fan blowing on the soaps?

The room has no sun as the curtains are drawn. I have a dehumidifier going and a fan blowing directly on them as they cure. What are your thoughts? Doesn't opening a window cause dust and spores from outside on them? What do you mean by mesh and curtain covers? Also, the dehumidifier does keep...

Lol, I thought the same thing and had my husband and my dad smell them. They both agree that they smell like rancid oil. I swear if this was not so aggravating it would be laughable. It is odd because the rancid oil smell comes first and then maybe two to three weeks later you will be able to...

Thank you for the advice,I appreciate it. Actually this is a different room I am curing them in. We moved recently, so different house altogether. Is it okay to open windows? I always read that you want the room to be closed up where no outdoor air can get on the soap. I am so confused by it...

I just store that one because I do not use as much and read it stays fresher this way.

I bought the palm oil three days prior to making the soap. The palm kernel I bought two weeks prior to making the soapI( I keep the PKO refrigerated).

Thank you for telling me this. I usually put like two to three tiny drops in. Maybe it's too much? I will have to buy a tiny scale in order to measure it out.

I have not seen the flakes there. I will have to look into that. Have you used crafters choice before? I think they sell flakes too.

The palm kernel oil comes as a big solid block in a box. Maybe I should order a different kind?

No, there is no sunlight. It's such a mystery why this is happening.

Hi, thank you for your response. The odd thing is that I've made this soap other times where there is no smell really. I cook it for about 45 minutes stirring after every 15 minutes and it is on low heat( I use my crock pot that use for making the soap). I just can't figure it out. I wonder...

Hi everyone. So I've been making soap for about two years now. I make my own soap because I'm allergic to SO many things. I have an illness called Mast Cell Activation disease, and I react to lots of chemicals and stuff. The soap I've been making that seems to work for me is made with the...

Hey everyone. I have been getting my oils from soapers choice. The palm kernel comes in a box and is solid. Also their Palm oil comes in a plastic container with a small hole at the top. It is solidified though so I usually have to wrap a heat pad around it to soften it up. Not sure how to...

I got my small bottle from lotioncrafters. I mean it smells okay. How would one know if it was no longer good?

How long does ROE last? I bought a bottle like a year ago. Does it go bad?
