Wow , you are so amazingly talented.

I commiserate. Hope we all get to have great neighbours, both at home and at markets. I once had a lady who came and started going on about how great her religion was. First pretended to be interested in my soap, then got going. My neighbour, a lovely candle maker took pity on me and came over...

This is one dangerous thread! I'm going to resist with all my might....but I fear resistance is futile. Thank you all for the recommendations.

Thank you AliOop. I found out, it’s 70% so I’ll need to calculate. Mine is 15% co; 5 each of PKO and castor. So maybe I’ll try 2% of total oil weight and see how it goes, or I’ll calculate. Just too busy atm to do the math offhand. Thank you so much for your advice.

Thank you so much both of you. @ AliOop, the concentration is not available online, I'll need to call the supplier. Thank you so much for your information. It appears that some have used 5% of total oil weight, as per link shared by Isg - no concentration specified.

Hello all you lovely people, I've been interested in some posts about sorbitol . I have read Kenna's posts as well. Trying to source it, and can only find in liquid form at a good price. One poster mentioned used 2% of total batch weight. Can anyone please confirm useage rates? Please advise...

Absolutely amazingly gorgeous. May I borrow your colour palette please?

Thank you so much, will definitely give it a try.

Hi all you kind caring sharing people, Just appreciate your kindness souch , and have learnt a ton from this thread alone! The spots appear to have disappeared or rather faded on some of the soaps after I steamed and dried them. Some still have spots so I haven't packed the purples at all. I...

I made a colourful batch of soap as favours for an Indian themed pre wedding function. These were poured during the first week of November.Last week I placed them in plastic bags (it was 5 weeks cured by then) Today I went to heat seal and saw one lot has what looks like mold! Please advise. Is...

I wait for hot summer days. The cocoa butter (25kg packed ina thick blue plastic bag in a box), I chip at using my extra large, heavy Wusthof knife. Use a rubber mallet to bang the knife , it breaks it down quickly. Then I pack the small chunks into buckets, wearing gloves. (First for hygienic...

You know, the same can be said for any other gift. You have no certainty that the recepient will use the gift. Gifts are either loved & used; loved & not used; hated & thrown out; hated and put at the back of the cupboard for the heirs to discover and dispose of; re-gifted etc. Sometimes...

Thank you so much for your tips @ Earlene. I have collected my soapy things, and hubby is shocked at the weight. I fear they are not going to fit into a cooler bag. I always carry a large cooler bag and some ice packs as I love shopping at the grocery stores here, and buy fruit and vegetables...

The addiction follows us everywhere 🤣

Hi all you sweet people. Nothing soapy. I just arrived in USA for my much anticipated vacation. And used the soap at my hotel. Argh! No lather. Waiting to visit a friend in Colorado tomorrow, where I'll collect some stuff I had ordered from brambleberry and nurture soap. Had wanted to order...

'Need' being the operative word.;)

Thank you so much for all your input. I've ordered a few already. Let me see if the order is still available and I might be tempted to order some of your recommendations. Have a lovely week all you lovely people.

Hi I thought I’d share that I saw that Brambleberry has 20% site wide. Just for 13 July I think. Does anyone have any recommendations for great; long lasting F/O? Thank you so much
