I haven't added any scents to the soap yet, because I'm still a beginner with soap. But I don't know if I'll use any soap scents at all later because the scents usually irritate me. I use unscented whenever possible. I wanted to include fragrances in some soaps in the future because some...

Yes yes, I'm looking forward to making it again sometime :nodding: I also wonder how long it will last. I keep them on a shelf lined with parchment paper at room temperature, normal humidity. Just like my other soaps. I don't have any particular expectations, but I'm interested as an...

After healing, I already use soaps. I was surprised by the softness of this soap. It's so nice in the bath... Teddy bears maybe softer, but there's not much difference between them. It just goes down a little more than other soaps, it's not as harsh. The lather is fine, similar to that of...

What about the dancing forest, or dancing in the forest? The soap is gorgeous and reminds me of a beautiful dress in a light forest breeze. There are beautiful forest villas in children's books, what about dancing in the forest. This soap reminds me of...

Thank you very much for the useful information and link. I let the beer stand, but next time I will try to use the sugar, or salt if I use a larger amount for the lye solution. And I freeze.

Thank you very much for the explanation. It's a recipe for Pilsen beer soap that inspired me because Pilsen beer is produced here in the Czech Republic. Well, I think I should give it a try. :)

The recipe says... Add 50g of flat beer to the oils before adding the lye...what is flat beer? Think of it as it is, or boil the alcohol out of it first? And is it better to add beer to the oils like this, or mix it with lye instead of water?

I made my 12th soap yesterday. I think the first was sometime in September. So a small sample of my beginnings... I'm having fun and experimenting.

But this is a wonderful soap 🥰 :thumbup:

How beautiful and creative. I like it very much...🙂

@QuasiQuadrant Thanks for the great advice on the flax seed gel. I saw that video on YouTube and it's true, it's logical that heat will help them go rancid. My experiment after demoulding. I probably should have left it in the molds for a while longer. And you can see that the shapes are not...

Beautiful soaps and congratulations on the birth of your granddaughter 🥰

Sure, I'll be happy to share my testing adventure 🙂 Product composition 100% BIO virgin linseed oil cold pressed, from organically grown flax seeds. Nutritional information per 100 g: Energy value 3700 kJ/900 kcal; Fats 100 g of which - saturated fatty acids 10 g, - monounsaturated fatty...

@AliOop, @Zany_in_CO It is a cold-pressed edible oil. It's really edible and doesn't taste very good. It is used for cold food, it should not be heated too much. Storage in the refrigerator. I mixed the lye with lye at a low temperature and put it in small molds so that it doesn't get too hot.

Should I try one more option? :nodding: That doesn't sound bad, I love lard in soap :thumbup:

I calculated the price per ml as per g. If you want to be more precise, you will need to find out the weight of specific oils. Otherwise, a nice tool for designing recipes, plus it automatically calculates the quantity for your mold size and the price of the batch and individual bars. Very...

So we'll see... :swinging:

@Zany_in_CO Thanks so much for the thread alert. I did see it, but I didn't think to read it because it was about the warm process, but now I see that there is useful information for my purpose as well. I was intrigued by the idea of using stearic acid, but I don't have it right now. So...

Sorry, I wrote it wrong. This is really sodium citrate, which is what I meant. Thanks for the correction and confirmation of the idea. fixed in post
