    SMF February 2021 Challenge - Circling Taiwan Swirl

    This was my first attempt. Pretty but muted and I wanted something brighter and swirlier. I wish I had not run out of purple mica! This was safflower, alkanet and spirulina. Scented with Nag Champa FO and orange essential oil.

    SMF February 2021 Challenge Entry Thread - Circling Taiwan Swirl

    My second attempt...my first one was very muted because I used plant colors instead of micas. This one I absolutelyyyyyy love however I don’t think I’m doing this again anytime soon. So much cleanup. This is scented with spearmint and eucalyptus essential oils and colored with activated...

    What is Yoni soap? What makes a soap safe for the ****** ?

    It's def a bogus ad .... here's the actual one. But even this one makes interesting cosmetic claims.

    What is Yoni soap? What makes a soap safe for the ****** ?

    I'm always reminded of this when I see Yoni soap. I hope no one ever asks me to make such a thing.

    January 2021 Challenge Entry Thread - Planet/Galaxy Soap

    It didn’t come out quite like had hoped but I modeled mine off a pic I saw of the Phoenix Nebula. I ran out of purple mica so I couldn’t do what I had initially thought. This was kind of a drop funnel swirl. Scented in a blend of NS All Soul’s Day and May Chang eo. Colors: Activated charcoal and...

    Lavender eo recs please

    I have purchased Sun Essentials before and I suspect they are adulterated because I had off scents and weird reactions. I love Camden-Grey, NDA and Sun Pure Botanicals.

    Ingredients Descriptions

    “Soap” is generally regulated under the CPSC as long as it is only soap that cleans but the whole “intended use” consumer perception could push you into cosmetic / drug territory if you try to put supporting evidence of ingredients of your soap. Like Zany pointed out, soap that cleans is exempt...

    Need Advice Regarding Waterproof Labels

    If your labels are no more than 2” on one side, you could consider a thermal printer. Brother has a Zink model I’ve been looking at. I have an HP 255 - great printer, toner is expensive but lasts forever (like 2k-3k pages per cartridge for the X) an an HP 7525. I also use to run a continuous ink...

    Getting ready to cut back my Plumeria

    I miss plumeria and leis from when I lived in Hawaii. I wish I had any kind of green thumb to keep one indoors. I live in Central Pa so it’s not likely to survive however I have seen quite a bit of hibiscus here this past summer. The decent is heavenly! You’re so kind into offer some cuttings!

    Done w TD!

    I put my TD directly in my lye water usually and it comes out great outside of glycerine rivers. The last soap I made I’m with it for the challenge was a sticky gooey mess with diluting just water and not in my whole batch of lye water. I think I’m switching to white mica but I have a lot of TD yet.
