    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I'd like to tell you that my first soaping session in 3 weeks went smoothly, but it didn't. But I have discovered a fabulous fragrance for those of you who love complicated designs. WSP's Very Merry Cranberry decelerates trace noticeably. It separated and ruined the first batch I tried with...

    Gardener's soap recipe

    Do you BUY shredded loofah, or do you shred it yourself? I bought some loofahs to use for loofah soap but it's too scratchy for me. I have used shredded loofah soap and I loved it. (That's partly why I got into soapmaking. I couldn't reliably find it) If anyone has a good method for...

    Basil EO

    Have just been reading about basil EO in soap and want to try it. I'm usually a fo sort of soap girl, but I happen to have some. Do you use it straight or in a blend. Someone said not too much- less than the max amount? Does it fade? Thanks all!

    Dual-lye bar soap trial

    Interesting experiment. I'm reluctant to try dual lye for some reason. Extra lather is a definite plus, reduced longevity isn't. Hmmm

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Nothing. Not a soapy thing. I went on vacation and then had surgery and I haven't made soap in THREE WEEKS. I'm having withdrawals. I'm making some tomorrow, because I really can't take much more sitting on the couch.

    Gardener's soap recipe

    I am also a gardeneress. Or camellia addict if you ask my husband. @earlene had a recipe that got good reviews. I want to hear how yours performs as well.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I'm in vacation in Michigan and I'm doing nothing soapy except that I brought my hostess a pile of soap. She apparently likes homemade soap because she had some in the sink soap dish in the bathroom. I'm happy to report that mine is better...😂

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I sliced soap and made lotion bars- I hope I love the jojoba oil in them cause it was pricy- even on sale. Thx to @Zing for the tip to make them in a silicone container. Clean up was a breeze!

    Hi I'm new!

    Welcome! My husband frequently calls me a mad scientist when he sees me making soap! Advice is to read a book, start with a simple easy recipe, and buy stuff SLOWLY. Soap supplies are expensive and you won't know what you like till you try them. I bought a large bottle of orange essential...

    Ugeauxgirl's soaps 2022

    More soap! I love these! The scents are guava fig (WSP) and crisp juniper (NS) and they both smell great. I mis- cut some of the purple and green ones, but they'll make great travel bars. These were testing out fixed molds which worked pretty well These were a loofah batch I tried. I...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I was cleaning out my soap room because I need it clean to pack for a trip. I spied a mold my husband made me that just doesn't work well. When I try to line it the paper scrunches down because it's a tall skinny mold and messes up the soap. I had about decided to pitch it but then decided to...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I made my attempt at copying @Catscankim 's lovely design. It did not go well. I forgot the citric acid, and I realized I forgot the fragrance oil after I mixed up the swirl for the middle- so it was added to the white only. And then I forgot the mica lines. It was not a good soaping session. 🙄

    Embracing the Brown

    Sorry. I was embracing the brown. I used vanilla FO in half and none in the other half. It was a leap of faith swirling the two batters as they looked the same. Next time I'll add a bit of Cocoa powder so I can see it better.
