    Made soap and forgot the goggles

    If you notice any vision problems or irritation after more than a day don't hesitate to make an appointment with a doctor to check your eyes.

    Coconut soap

    I just finished a 100% coconut oil soap earlier this week. Be prepared for this soap to be very hard! I used only 1% superfat and after only 16 hours of curing the soap was so rock hard is destroyed my soap cutter. I had to buy a new one and cut the rest of the loaf with a large knife.

    What did YOU do today?

    It is now noon and I have been awake since 6 pm yesterday. You know, because college. Today I have studied Thomas Aquina and St. Agustine for 4 hours for my Philosophy final, spent 2 hours procrastinating from studying (oops), then ran errands after the sun came up. Errands consisted of going...

    I intend to make a 20% super fat pure coconut soap as well. I made this with a 1% to ensure there was no unused lye in the mixture, but to get an idea of how the oils exactly works in the soap. My end goal is to design a recipe that works for my sensitive skin, but also is the right balance of...

    I'm doing a single oil experiment. I know many exist already but I think being able to feel and see the single oil bars in person will help me get an exact idea of what each oil does to help me perfect my own soap recipe. A few days ago I made a 100% coconut oil soap, 1% superfat, 2:1 water...

    How to figure how much oil for mold.

    I'm still slightly confused about the 0.4 rule. This post says AreaX0.4= weight of oils. Does this mean total weight of batter of JUST the oils? Once my lye water is added my batter would be a larger volume than just the oils clculated by the 0.4 rule. Is the rule already claculated to include...

    Looking for Input - Spa Day in a Jar

    Bath salts for sure, a bath fizzy too. Maybe even shaving gel or a liquid body wash. A face mask and either a cute small loofah, wash cloth, or nail brush... and everything would be PINK!

    SMF November 2019 Challenge - Spin Swirl

    I was so worried about this all day. When I woke up my loaf had a weird wrinkly top layer, almost like a skin had formed and their was air under the skin. I've never seen this before, it may have been alien brains from over heating. I let it rest in the mold all day, and just took it out to cut...

    SMF November 2019 Challenge - Spin Swirl

    Well that did not go as planned to say the least! I wanted to try the Brambleberry Raw Honeycomb fragrance oil I got last month and thought I could work quicker than the "mild acceleration." I was wrong lol. My batter was instant pudding. I was able to mix in my colors, but by the time I got to...

    Is it possible to work with fragrance discoloration

    I have the Warm Flannel fragrance oil from Bramble Berry and it smells wonderful. It is noted on the website as having a dark brown discoloration in cold process. I actually want my soap to be a rustic brown- red because that is what I think of when I think of flannel. I have Dark Red Brazilian...
