Hello people, I am wondering what happened exactly to the soap I made. I am trying to understand what went wrong and what to avoid for next batches. I tried googling it but not sure what exactly to look for or use as for wording :( :( I found lye pockets, but I am not 100% sure this is the...

Oh wow, that is a lot of good names. I checked them out and there are quite some good leads, thank you very much :) :) I was able to find an Italian one as well, they say they have an English website as well but haven't checked it out (I understand italian :D ) Here it is.

With all the European soap making lovers and fans we cannot find other suppliers from the community? :eek::eek:

We bought quite a lot of stuff from them: Ethically Sourced Natural Oils and Ingredients | Naissance. Absolutely reliable and good service. We ordered around 1200 euro of material. I am looking for a new EU provider since they are based in the UK and now it will become harder to import things...

I like this idea, but how should I do this. Is only blending the EO with this ingredients and adding at the end would be enough? For example, I know that Bentonite is a powder, how will this affect the final product?

I think I realized that what I wrote could have been misinterpreted. I meant on the bottom not on the top :) Oh ok :) We pour the soap and wait for it to become hard. After approx a week, we put it in the freezer for around 30mins and then try to take it out. We do wait for it to become firm...

What are you using to close the pipe? The pipe I found here in Denmark comes also with a cap (this is why it has the bell/flare). We bought this one because according to our calculations it can do both 500gr and 1kg. We remembered how to calculate the volume of a cylinder and chose this one...

We are keeping our soap inside the PVC for a week. The bump is the bottom part, we push from the top towards the bump yes :) I cannot find freezer paper where I live (Italy+Denmark), I know a lot of people are using it and it looks amazing. As plastic, what do you mean exactly? Thanks again...

Hello people, Today two posts :D :D After some squared soaps, we decided to try to do some round soaps using the below PVC pipe. We did not have any real problems when we did batches of 500 grams of soap since we were using another pipe to push the soap out. It was not really easy, but we...

Hello lovely people, With my soap formulas I currently use essential oils but I can't seem to make the aroma stay. In the beggining the aroma is really strong when using it, but it I leave the soap curing for a long period of time (3 months or more) the aroma is not there. I know that comercial...

Todd, they look amazing! Really really cool

Thanks again people! We have been trying different ways and have to be honest that all your comments and ideas were extremely helpful and useful. We did in the last month or so around 14 different soaps and we will keep working on them. Next week we will post some photos of our "creations" :) :)

Thanks to all your answers. I hope that in the next days I can post the different formula we are using to get some feedback also from more experienced Soapers (what is a cool name for soap makers? :) :) ) We do not cut our soap, we are using the mold shown below since it is a good solution for...

LOL, I am getting there Kamahido :D :D

Hello again, Thanks for the link. I tried to do a search only in the beginners soap making forum, thinking to find answers here. I will use the whole forum next time then :) :) Cheers, Piero

Hello people, My second post in this forum, excited :) Together with a friend of mine, we started making some soaps around 2 months ago. We made some CP and HP as well. Now that we are a bit better with the CP, we were wondering when it is the right time to stamp them. We would like to stamp...

Thank you all for the nice words and warm welcome :hippo::hippo:
