Thanks for sharing your experience. After making a few soaps where some soap goes through the gel process and others don't, some soap has other ingredients and I want to start experimenting with color. That's a lot of variables and I'm starting to feel the need to create some sort of system.

How do you label your soaps? I mean, for example, when you have several soaps ready, so that you know which is which and according to which recipe, and how much soap according to this recipe? Is there a system that is used? I'm thinking about how to arrange this.

In the end, I decided on Rebatch. I wanted to try this technique and also try this soap recipe to see if I like it and want to repeat it. Rebatch soap is so rustic, but I quite like it. I have already tried using it, it has a beautiful foam, it is pleasant.

Hi, I'm so sorry about your situation. And I have compassion. I went through something similar. We were renovating my grandmother's house with a large garden. House in very bad condition. Then came the divorce and I was left alone with a small child in a broken house. My work started to...

I also tried turmeric now as I wanted to try the color so I looked for what is available at home. I also have clumps in my soap, now I know from this thread how to avoid them. But I am interested in the color. I expected more orange and my color is so brown. It looks like a gingerbread...

It is a comfrey, SYMPHYTUM OFFICINALE Google translate got it wrong. I corrected it in the post. I really like the patterns, shapes and colors in soaps, I just don't have the courage to try it. 🙈😀 Not yet, made yesterday, but I'm looking forward to testing it 🙂🌞

Soap with avocado and hemp oil and comfrey. Inspired and adapted from The Soapmaker's Companion. My 5th Soap. I still don't have the courage for coloring or patterns. I usually make a thick trail, but now it was a little better.

Rapeseed oil led me to make soap... I was inspired by the book "JADAM organic Farming", where according to the book I made liquid soap as a soil conditioner for use in the garden. The author states that rapeseed oil has a good wetting ability. And a small note in the book that you can easily...

No, it's silicone. And yes, I wouldn't do it again and I tried that the hot process is not for me.

Yes it's "pumpkin puree" it was translated by Google translate... What soap do you recommend adding it to? What would this soap be well combined with? I have in mind, for example, what oils the soap to which I would add this could be made of. I currently have: lard, coconut oil, olive oil...

I tried soap with dyno puree. I was inspired by a recipe from the Internet, but it was for a hot process. I modified the recipe, replaced the Shea butter and almond oil with lard. Everything went through the calculator. Here is my modified recipe: 212g olive oil, 212g coconut oil, 255g...

Hi, I'm glad I found this forum. Where I can interact with other soap makers and have the opportunity to learn. I'm a beginner, after my 3 batches of soap made and one that failed a bit, I'm excited about this activity. Along with my passion for gardening, this is becoming my next big hobby...

Thanks for the advice on The Soapmaker's Companion by Susan Miller Cavitch. I recently bought it and even though it's old, I found a lot of inspiring things there. And I'm also going to create one recipe with hemp oil and comfrey. I have my own comfrey in my garden. So is it better to use 6%...
