The title says it all. As i mentioned in the essential oils forum last week, (https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/blend-to-cover-stinky-eo.77771/) i ruined a batch of oils by pouring rancid EO into the mix. I did not add any lye, and the soaping oils mixed with the rancid EO are sitting in...

I like floral and sweet food scents. My favs atm are honeysuckle and oatmeal honey.

I've just had someone ask for 50 bars of Oatmeal Milk and Honey scented soap. So far I've been using Brambleberry's FO and I really like! I gave my entire family soaps fragranced with this for Christmas and most people like the smells although 3/10 told me they did not like it. Can anyone who...

Nixed this idea. I have my entry now and I am happy with it :)

Everything about the company GOOP is absurd. She's just selling her celebrity name, not quality products.

I found the patent here. To avoid confusion remember "frozen" in chemistry terms just means solid. The show jellies are "frozen" at room temp. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20040180017

Ooo idea. Vanilla and Lavender Spearmint. What do you think?

I'm going to start by admitting I made two big mistakes to get myself into this mess. I looooove the smell of spearmint, and since I already had all my soap supplies out from making my book challenge soap, I decided to squeeze in a quick spearmint soap. I made my lye, and melted my hard oils...

I thought I would be making my challenge soap in the new house, but our move in date got pushed back a week. :D Looks like I get to unpack my supplies and make one more soap in this kitchen after all

I think I've decided what to do. I'm going to use this challenge as a reason to try soap frosting for the first time. C:

Thanks :) I guess I will start with a 1:1 ratio and tweak it from there if I need to

Today I made the very last batch of soap I will make in this house. Tomorrow we pay the down payment on the new apartment. Goodbye tiny kitchen, in our new place I will have a whole soaping room which I cannot wait to put to use! My soap today was Bergamont Sandalwood scented. I tried doing a...

Just for fun I was opening the lids of my EO bottles and holding multiple to my nose at a time to try different combinations. I found I really like Lavender and Tea Tree together and I want to make a blend to use in a soap. Does anyone know what ratio I should use of each for a blend? Also how...

1. MarnieSoapien - I'm soo excited for this challenge!! 2. Artemis - I hope I can carve out a little time this month 3. Kosmerta- The hardest part of this challenge will be picking just one book, I love so many

What brand of vinegar did you use? The NaOH base would have reacted with the acetic acid to produce salt and water. Neither of these things are gelatinous so it sounds like the vinegar may have had some additives. Perhaps preservatives? Do you still have the bottle it came in and if so does it...

They're so beautiful

:lol:

My final new-to-me for the month of December: Last night and this morning I used two new fragrances that both cause extreme acceleration. First batch was this oatmeal soap with Honey Almond fragrance from makeyourown.buzz. it smells great, I had my oatmeal and yellow oxide mixed in and added the...
