    SMF August 2020 Challenge - Zig Zag Cosmic Wave Technique

    Thanks @AliOop and @szaza! I was finally able to get them out of the mold but they were still very soft and probably could have set another day out of it before cutting but I was impatient! A proper cosmic wave zig zag: and then the flop (I used a chopstick and hanger inside): the second one...

    SMF August 2020 Challenge - Zig Zag Cosmic Wave Technique

    My soap is still so soft in the mold still /: surprisingly, one of the fragrances I used made cosmic wave glop and I had to save with a chopstick swirl. The other I really like the color scheme. Here is what they look like in the molds. I can wait til I can cut! Maybe tomorrow. I can’t believe I...

    Freshest Soap in the World

    They are just one company that keeps coming up on my timeline. I’m also curious about their proprietary process. This isn’t the first soap maker I’ve seen saying they came up with a new faster way to make soap. Why can’t I?

    Freshest Soap in the World

    I can’t imagine even using a HP after 24 hours. Maybe they are leaving some additives out ... hmmmm, considering their ingredient listing is all over the place. I almost think they use someone else’s glycerin MP base.

    How many soap makers get insurance?

    I had RLI for insurance and paid $175 a year for it. It only allows up to $5k in sales and you can t make any candles to sell with it.

    Freshest Soap in the World

    I did t even look at the other products! I did notice their ingredient listing was all ordered wrong, I glanced over that because many people do that. Seems like they wanted to “highlight I only make one HP soap and it doesn’t look like that but my rebatched CP looks similar in texture. I...

    Additives in Soap- Do they work?

    The only time I feel a difference on my skin is when I mess with my superfat with coconut milk or other butters.

    Freshest Soap in the World

    I might be a smidge jealous they can sell such fresh soap... Agreed!! I thought this as well. I know there’s still a ton of soapers who believe that HP doesn’t affect ingredients like CP but I have to find that to be true. I was talking to my husband about it and he said we should ask Kevin...

    Freshest Soap in the World

    I ran across this blurb on a soap site I wanted to order from yet it seems kinda hokey: “developed a unique proprietary process for creating our hand crafted batches of soap. The process includes suspending the soap in a glycerin state with botanicals and essential oils never being exposed to...

    *New* Perm Solution FO!

    Your soap is so pretty! Sometimes my goat milk soaps smell kind of permy. I’ve had other fragrances that were weird coming out of the mold and mellowed into my initial sniff of OOb.

    Aloe Vera Juice - is adding a little effective?

    Sometimes CVS has it on sale cheaper than Wal-Mart. I do a full water replacement.

    Patchouli Haters Gonna Hate...

    I have one of these fragrances and I have yet to soap with it. I wasn’t sure if I like I OOB. I love Patch EO. Witches brew was not something I would think would have patch but now I get it lol @KiwiMoose, those little drop swirls are cute!

    Eeek! Does anybody actually use with this oil!

    Mmm patchouli! Although I have smelled so off putting patchouli, not moldy but not the dark ages that I love and my customers love. I feel this way about jasmine! My mom LOVEs jasmine and I can’t stand it! It does smell like pee! Hahaaa

    Confetti Soap Ideas

    I was just piling my last six months of scraps into a bucket. I keep them around for my son because he likes to chop them up and carve. For some reason, I am hoarderish about the soap. I have the last 10 years of soap scraps 😂 I think I need to get on this confetti soap train! Everyone’s soap is...

    Totally not soap related, sort of

    I can certainly relate to the counseling being mostly about your husband. Mine was for years for my ex. That’s stinks about that al-anon group. I went to a convention awhile back and the people I met were wonderful, working the program and supportive. Not every group is the same for sure. I’m...

    Curing rack ideas

    I have a metal shelving unit but use the lids of copy boxes to hold the soap and stack them and rotate.
