I have not. I make either round bath bombs or use my mooncake press.

I don’t mix my micas with alcohol as in MP it can cause it to set up. I just mix my micas right into the MP until it’s the desired color. I should state I don’t do a lot of MP. Mostly for embeds. Are you asking he to store the micas or soap with micas. My needs to be wrapped once made. I...

No not really. The only way to do that would be to re-batch it. Which personally is a pain. So I don’t do that.

Hello and welcome. Be sure to go to the introduction forum and tell us a bit about yourself. I’m not sure what wonder colors are. I use lakes dye in my bombs and have had good results. I’ve also used micas in some. I don’t make a lot of bombs though.

Give it a try and see how you like it. It should be better than your first recipe. However, I’m one who finds high OO soap drying to my skin so don’t use it in soap over 20-25%. So it’s a personal choice plus testing different combinations. I like HO sunflower or Safflower or avocado instead...

We used it when camping and bathing in the lake growing up. Because it did float.

I’ve not had a problem with peppermint EO either. I do a blend of Peppermint, lavender and tea tree.

My Christmas tree. I was able to celebrate Christmas with my parents as we all stayed isolated for 3 weeks.

Nope, my soap sinks to the bottom. Even 4-5 year or older soap in the tub.

Merry Christmas to you Relle

Welcome from another Michigander.

That’s not making soap. It’s diluting already made soap and adding glycerine. What purpose? Just curious.

Hello and welcome. I’m from Michigan as well. Different markets have their own requirements. However, here you just need to register for a tax ID # and though not necessarily required you should have insurance. If you have a business name it needs to be registered with the City Clerks office...

I would highly recommend using a chelator. Upping the SF will likely cause more soap scum.

You’ve got a lot of liquid oils therefore it’s going to be soft longer. Did it gel? 2 oz isn’t too much fo for 40 oz batch of soap. As long as it’s within the usage rate for that fo.

I’ve made layers a day apart I’m the past. I had no issues with it not sticking.

Hello and welcome.

Why do you need to weigh or have a percentage. I don’t understand that. Just curious. I add about the size of a small cotton ball per batch that I’m master batching. I don’t think I could get it to weigh out unless I use my small scale.

That usage is based on IFRA. It’s the amount that can be used on the skin safely diluted. In soap I use 6% pop with little exception. This subject come s up fairly often. It’s a personal choice. I and my customers like heavier scented soaps. 1-3% would never fly for me for the most part...

Are you using fragrances and colorants tested in CP soap. My fragrance and colors last well over a year and many much longer.
