I have four books in my library: Soap: Making it and enjoying it by Ann Bramson This book imho, is THE book on soap making. Her recipes are simple, and she has wonderful information about soap making. If you can find it, even second hand, this book is worth it. Catherine Failor’s books on...

Yes, the majority of the soap does go down the drain, but some of it is absorbed through the skin. Which is why my skin smells a bit like the fragrance oil, is moisturized a bit from superfatting, etc. It doesn’t take much essential peppermint oil to mess with you. Inhaling is the worst...

Right?!?!?! :lol: Currently, they are slowly morphing back to blue! The show isn’t over, and unfortunately I can’t binge watch the series. The drama is torturous. Those turned out great. My last coffee soap, I think I accidentally used garden dirt fo instead of coffee. Sooooo disappointing...

Peppermint oil can mess with blood pressure and heart rate at high enough percentages, and it doesn’t take a lot to do it. Just be careful.

In the circle of liiiiiiiiife... it moves us allllllll something something something about lions .... *deep breath* In the CIRCUllllllllll of liiiiiIiiiiiiiiiIiiiife...

I think these will be ok. This is nowhere near the intended design. Rose scented. Blue because the person they are being gifted to is allergic to red dye. I cannot convince this person that not all red dyes are the same, and micas are different. Sigh. They are a hardcore know it all. Oh...

Just asking, for a friend.

I found a spatula that fits in my squeeze bottles, and I now have a growing assortment of tiny soaps.

I love it and the name, it’s like abstract art, wonderful

Those look like real rocks! Great job

Cut my soap. I’m ok with the pink top.

They look so pretty! —- I was able to shift my slab, as soon as it hardens up a bit, it’s slice-town baby!

Lye works too. Like unclogging a drain pipe :)

Checked on my soap. It’s still soft and not truly ready for unmolding, however, I’m beginning to think how I might get it out of the mold. Like, it’s heavy. Around 40lbs heavy. I think that includes the mold. But, uh.... still.... I may need a giant spatula. The pink is not so bad.

One time, I decided to make 100% grape seed oil soap, because I had a pail of it when I was making lotions. I measured, did not weigh my oil, and weighed the lye. I realized my error, after it didn’t set up and rebatched it with an equal amount of 100% beef tallow soap. I added a neon yellow...

Tea tree oil? Spray CLR on them and rinse after 5-10 minutes?

This is why you don’t purchase colorant from Amazon: It’s supposed to be sky blue. It is morphing so fast. It went from blue to brown to dark purple and even as I am typing it is becoming pink. Well... it’s me thinking, why should I use this brand new mica when I have this random dye from...

I used a small gift box, a little bit wider than a typical shoe box and lined it with Saran Wrap. I should have used the freezer paper instead. If you have a shoe box or small squareish gift box, it’s good for about 2lbs of oils

attempted a 'ghost swirl'. Ugh. It's more like glops of LW swimming in HW instead of a Taiwan swirl. Popped it in the oven anyway. Now it's just weird and looks unappetizing. I can't even. :beatinghead:
