Thanks for the math! Perfect sense! ETA: thanks for linking the Trinity of Oils! I’ve been wanting to make a vegan soap for a friend and this sounds perfect! Been wanting to try out the GV veg shortening too. I do love getting all my experiments in one batch. Also I’ve been using up some HO...

Yes please! Because I think it is your fault I have 4 16oz jars of red Palm I’m afraid to use! I do have an 💡…. I just have not figured out how to do it yet, because I have no regular Palm and I want to do an ombré just using half colored with red Palm… but at what %!?!? Lol! The math…. 🥸😡

I hear ya! But it also depends on what the conversation is about. How much of an additive to add to soap…. PPO ( pounds per oil). The total volume of a mold… sometimes just oils and sometimes oils & liquids… splitting batter for specific designs and swirls with accent colors…it does get...

Good point! These are very small pieces of soap shavings and end pieces I collected and chopped in the food processor. So I’m not too worried, but I might spritz them a wee bit. Thanks! This is the simplest soap & yet can’t stop stressing and obsessing over it!!!! 😂

I forgot about this post! Thanks! I’ll read through again! That sounds beautiful! Think I might try it with some chunky rainbow confetti I saved from my attempts in the Rainbow Soap Challenge! Thanks!

Thanks! @AliOop ! I’m wanting to make a slab of it and use my new slab cutter I’ve not got a chance to use yet!!!! I think this will be the cheapest bar of soap I’ve ever made! Lol! But I need to get rid of the confetti and purposely donate a batch of pretty soap and not my ugly mistakes! It...

Sooooo….. I’m overflowing with soap shavings (I have an 8 pound bucket full and almost overflowing!) and want to make my first confetti soap soap. What is a good ratio of confetti to soap batter? Is 50/50 too much confetti, will the soap fall apart!?!? I’m making a plain batch of soap with...

Gotta love a man that uses the word “whilst”!!! Awesome review and awesome customer!

AWESOME!!! More soaping experiments! It makes me feels so smart to read about them!!!! I do enjoy your soaping escapades sooo much

Thanks!!! The One Pot Wonder is pretty cool! I even left the top as poured, no swirlly design needed! And the coolest thing about it is you never know if it worked until the cut!!

I use 20% CO but at 3% SF….

Testing out some new Nurture Soap fragrance oils…. left to right… Black Raspberry Vanilla with my new favorite One Pot Wonder pour! Bergamot & Honey with a half hearted attempt at a feather swirl. The batter was so thin (I think there was some de-acceleration involved) it leaked out of mold!☹️...

I have that exact same press! It’s so fun to use!!!!

I don’t remember seeing this when you first posted, and I know this is NoT a mint, but have you tried Eucalyptus? I’ve always made a soap with lavender, eucalyptus and tea tree FO. It is such a energetic fragrance. And recently tried a Eucalyptus and mint (I suspect peppermint) FO. Smells...

So if I used AC in a Black Raspberry Vanilla FO soap, it will make the black richer and less chalky gray maybe!?!? We will see when I cut it tomorrow… I can tell the white/kaolin clay part is going tan as it cools. I actually forgot about that aspect of vanilla FO, so I’m hoping the clay helps a...

Wow! Had a lot to catch up on! This is my favorite thread! You guys are awesome! I’ve not made soap since a week before Christmas…so today was soap making day! I made three batches to test out 3 new fragrance oils from Nurture Soap. Tried 3 different techniques… a feather and drop swirl and a...

If I have leftover batter it goes into individual molds of whatever is closest. Most of my individual silicone molds holds 2-2.5ozs. They are the perfect size for me to keep at the sink. I also cut end pieces in half of my regular loafs of soap... so 2x2x1 inches.

It is a very pretty color! The red palm at 12% was a good decision. I've only used my red palm @ 5% in liquid soap, maybe I'll try it in a cp soap, you scared me with the staining warning! 🤪 :oops:

I tend to use more lavender than eucalyptus. 60/40. And I only use a total 3% of my oils. Even at 70/30 lavender/eucalyptus, the eucalyptus stands out… I think!

I also mix with batch oil and my AC part always thickens more than other parts…. It’s weird, but not really an issue most times.
