Hi and welcome! I didn’t see your other thread but thought I would answer here. I’ve been soaping for 16+ years, and I experimented and perfected my formulas for a year before I started selling. I spent time studying the qualities of different fatty acids to determine what I wanted my soap to...

Thank you @Zany_in_CO, I’m aware of the IFRA guidelines, but this soap isn’t for sale, only family use, and none of us, including my granddaughter, are sensitive to spearmint.

Hi everyone! I’m wondering if anyone ever found someplace that carries a dupe of SW’s Tonic? I have one 16 oz bottle left that still smells amazing and is performing well in CP, but I don’t want to be without it when it’s gone! 😩

I order from NDA all the time, including in the last couple of months and have had no issues.

I’m so sorry for what y’all are going through. Sending prayers for your daughter and family ❤️

My name is Marie, but everyone always either calls me ‘Maria’ or spells it with an ‘A’, hence, my user name 😁.

I honestly don’t remember how much powder I used in the infusion and I don’t have my notes handy, but I used 32 oz of HOSO for it. I used almost all of the oil in my batch of soap, pouring it out slowly to avoid any of the powder ending up in the finished product. I’m interested to see what the...

My granddaughter Winter requested a peppermint soap so I made a batch of 50/50 peppermint and spearmint. Color is HO sunflower oil infused for a month+ with madder root powder. This is the first time I’ve used the powder, and so far, so good! First pic is freshly poured, second pic is after gel...

Robert Irvine’s Gold Cadillac Mac n Cheese is seriously the best ever! https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/robert-irvine/gold-cadillac-mac-n-cheese-recipe-1950365

These are the same prices in my area (Central Virginia), but only the buckets are available.

Oooh, that sounds nice! Thanks for sharing!

It’s a medical instrument used to facilitate in intubating patients, placing chest tubes, etc.

@Zing-this blend is amazing! I made a batch last week after mixing the EOs and letting them blend for a couple of weeks. After cutting I could smell mostly eucalyptus and peppermint, but now at a week and half into curing the fir needle and cedarwood are coming to the fore and it’s absolutely...

Beautiful soaps!

I second (or third or fourth) the advice to lower your superfat. I add fresh GM to every batch and superfat at 6% with a liquid:lye ratio of 2.33:1. I use 50% distilled water and 50% fresh GM for my liquid and always add the GM to the oils after I’ve added the lye. Recently, I experimented with...

Hi all! I was looking at HBNO’s site and came across their ‘Natural Aromatics’ page where they have natural fragrance oils. The description says they are plant-derived, not synthetic. Has anyone used these? If so, do you know what the ingredients of these oils are, and if they are safe for use...

Beautiful soap! Welcome back to the addiction! 🤪
