    Plastic droppers: to clean or not to clean?

    For me I think it depends on what I used it for. If it’s just to make my water measurement perfect or something not to messy, then I do what @KiwiMoose does. If I’m in a mood, after they dry I squeeze up some rubbing alcohol and shake it about and out. But if it’s to drizzle mica/oil mixture or...

    SMF October 2021 challenge - butterfly hanger swirl

    I tried one more pour, mostly because I loved @earlene ’s monarch colors! I went with AC and Nurture Soap Eye of the Tiger and Fire Fly. I also wanted to try out a FO I got from Soapalooza. It’s pretty awesome and behaved a little to well! I was afraid it was gonna be too fluid and mix. Plus it...

    Body soap vs. Face soap vs. Hand soap

    I do not... I make a solid oil cleanser for my face. So my bars are used everywhere!!! because sometimes I'm too lazy to even grab my face cleaner and just use my bar of soap. No harm No foul. Since I've started adding Citric Acid to my soaps, I've even been just grabbing an end piece of random...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    My kids wont let me watch Aquaman or Thor... because they hate all the comments I make about how beautiful they are. I can even embarrass them in their own home! 🤪 😁

    Needing some validation

    They are beautiful! And I'm shocked you were able to order them. I never make it to the website in time to get any! She's my favorite Youtuber, besides Ophelia's Soapery. I just got an order from a soap maker I follow on TikTok- Country Lather Soapworks. Its the first soap I've ordered... I...

    SMF October 2021 challenge - butterfly hanger swirl

    Anytime I've added sugar or coconut milk or agave to my lye solution it has always turned a shade of pinkish orange. Its never really affected my soap. I just thought it got too hot. I don't add sugars too often though because of that. It scares me!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I also got some honey blush mica with my last order and was suppose to request that particular meme card and forgot!!! Jason Mamoa was posted all over Nurture Soap's Facebook page and they told me I could request it! I'm a bit upset with myself for forgetting, I really wanted to add him the the...

    Something weird

    I’m glad I’m following this post, I would love to see how you like it as well. When I started making soap I first used a recipe with tallow and absolutely loved it! But store bought is so expensive! I’m not ready to start rendering my own! I do love my lard soap as well, but if I could have both...

    Something weird

    That happened to me once when I experimented with pre-mixing my colors with glycerin instead of batch oils.. it was for the lollipop swirl challenge when I tried like 9 batches to get it right, so I’m not sure if the FO misbehaved or not but still not a bad outcome, just interesting!

    SMF October 2021 challenge - Entry thread (butterfly hanger swirl)

    This was a pretty fun one! I got to use my hanger tool and lots of pretty colors and another try at soap frosting. I wanted a bright and cheery soap for Christmas and had a theme is mind but not a design yet. And honestly this was perfect! I tried to stick with a pretty simple swirl design so I...

    Possibly unorthodox shampoo bar

    I’m not much help, only because I’m not a formulater but a recipe follower! But I found this article: Why Is Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate In My Product? - The Dermatology Review And the sodium lauroyl sarcosinate it say is recommended usage at 15%. But I’m surprised your mom didn’t like it...

    Multi-layered soap...with embed, Help, Please!

    I have a soap design idea for a friend and she loves the idea and now I'm afraid to make it. It is mainly straight even layers with an embed! A flag with nine layers I think, 8 alternating black and blue layers separated by 1 layer of white, with a red heart in the top layer of black and blue...

    In Need of Alternatives

    I just bout a Honeysuckle from Nurture Soap and I love it and it didn’t accelerate or anything.

    Looks like it's going to be a soapmaking night tonight.

    I have a hibiscus ylang ylang from WSP… I’ve used it a lot it seems because I just went to smell it and it’s almost gone. ☹️😢 It is a very relaxing scent. But I don’t remember it ricing or accelerating. Hmmm… I’m sure it’ll turn out beautiful! I love an ITP swirl!
