Pretzels, unsalted, don't judge me. :p Would you rather have to put ketchup on everything or chocolate sauce?

I'm just now seeing this thread and it gives me hope that I can do something again.

You might want to test this recipe as you have it with a 3 month cure. it might be that type of recipe. Since you say the soap it a little sticky, it could more than likely be the shea butter and the palm oil (they're both high in palmitic fatty acids and both can be sticky in feel, in my...

I was definitely thinking of vendors that repeatedly market and sell with less-than-ethical methods. but I do have to disagree a bit with testing. Anhydrous items aren't any safer due to lack of water if people still use ingedients that can be questionable. I think EOs in particular should be...

A lot of people may not like what is going to come out of that. Oh well.

Was this FO designed to be used in HP/CP soap? You might want to consider M&P soap for it.

That is a lot of coconut oil for any human skin. 35% is the most I've seen some soap recipes go and those soaps are far too drying for most people's skin. If you keep it at that, I hope you make a small enough batch not to have too much paste in your hands. Also, shea butter is useless at 5%...

They may be referring to the milk type itself. Fat content in milk makes a difference.

Ingredient Spotlight: Propylene Glycol By Bath Geek Hope this answers your question.

That's why I will avoid this like a plague.

If Walmart and Wegman's are close enough, you should totally check out their high oleic sunflower oil and avocado oils. When Wegman's is not the only grocery store in an area, they tend to be very comparable to other stores, even Walmart. If you're not opposed, I'd suggest beef tallow but I also...

Dagnabbit. I can't place an order.

I was about to say that you used the wrong spice for the Red Stripe soap (Allspice/pimento) but in lieu of a Jamaican I worked under, the nutmeg should be fine in your "mulled mechanic's soap". That man loved his nutmeg. :p

Yes, thank you. I used 20% unrefined cocoa butter so that soap should have definitely retained that scent (like my other soaps did that did not have coffee in them).

Coffee has a tendency to get rid of smells (i did not sleep so i'm lacking words). It could be that the coffee in the soap worked a little too well.

Indigo powder can work but it's also good for being a finicky pain in the butt too sometimes.

Since soap is a wash-off product, you also would not get much out of it if you're looking for it to be conditioning (use water on skin and layer it with oil or use a lotion for that purpose). Soap making is a chemical process so much of the properties of the oils you use will be different at the...

That sounds very off. I started one with a 1.5 qt slow cooker and I was able to safely use up to 1000g of oils. I think a 6 qt can handle a larger batch than that.

So... You couldn't find a Cellular Peptide Cake with Mint Frosting FO? That is a shame...

It looks interesting but I tend not to trust anything with monk fruit or stevia in it. Edit- this stuff has sucrolose a and acesuflame potassium in some flavors. That elevates this to a hard no, I will never try this product. Migraines would be imminent.
