    70% Rice Bran Oil soap

    I have yet to try RBO. I’ve never seen it cheap though. I keep trying to get it at Lowe’s when it’s on sale but ours must not keep a lot of it around. I have recently tried hemp and so far love the lather of it but either the oil or the mix of fragrance I used makes me think of wet dog.

    Syndet shampoo bar recipe help needed

    I recently made this recipe from Soap and more with a couple adjustments to the ingredients I had on hand: mango instead of Kokum and wholesale supplies plus Soft and silky ewax (Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Ceteareth-20). It’s so lovely! I have thick, wavy hair. I do use a conditioner bar also from...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Today I bought a UV sanitizer/sterilizer! I’m soooo tired of washing, boiling and spraying things with alcohol. I hope it makes all my dreams come true.

    This is not soap - syndet bar

    Thank you, @atiz! I greatly appreciate your review! I wish there were trial bars of it! I like to support other soap makers, especially when I’m traveling. I buy soap as my souvenirs. This summer I bought a bar in Massachusetts which was amazing! It was so amazing ($10) that my 8 year old...

    I've never bought anything Lush but I've been known to pay over double digits for soap.

    How Beneficial is Soap Really?

    We started making soap because the soap we use to buy, Pure & Natural, stopped being sold in stores near us. It was the only soap that didn’t irritate my husband’s skin (he has eczema and just sensitive to perfumes). It didn’t have anything special in it. We tried other people’s handmade soap...

    Help With Soft Soap Please

    My HP soap is usually always softer than my CP. :/ I definitely use more water though in HP because I CP at a 40% lye concentration. But I’m not too worried so much about the fluidity of my soap batter for swirling most days because I like ITP swirling the best. As for your recipe, that is a...

    Veggie/Vegan Soap Demand

    The only thing I’ve been asked if it was vegan was my lip balm. I’ve made a few soaps with animal fats and I actually prefer them to use and they sold well also however I don’t make them often. my company does use the slogan Hippies Use Side Door Soaps so we stick close to the hippie vibe so I...

    Syndet Shampoo Bar Trials

    These foaming products have my curiosity piqued. I can’t use Apple because I’m allergic to some but foaming oats... I finally have a recipe for shampoo and conditioner bars that I like and now can pass out some testers.

    Oakmoss to Offset the Odor of Lard/Tallow

    I definitely like Sun Pure. Thank you @Zany_in_CO for the recommendation. I love Oakmoss but it is so expensive so this makes it a bit more affordable.

    Citric Acid Use

    I apologize. I have some strange tangential thinking going on with the soap that I made recently and understanding the chemistry of CA and soap making. when I looked back at my written notes, I actually did calculate the right amount of CA and NaOH for those batches. But it was in my thinking...
