    Why wrap in a towel after pouring?

    I’m sure this is a basic inquiry, but I’m wondering why it is advisable to wrap cold process soap in a towel after you’ve poured it into your mold? When with some recipes, it’s advisable you put it into the fridge right after pouring. For example when I made cows milk soap, I put it right in the...

    Unfortunately I do not remember the brand name of the cookies. They were not too fancy though but their mold sure is 😁.

    Cows milk soap first time

    If I can get away with it I may try lard and or tallow and or TD/mica to whiten up this and other soaps. I did not spray or coat the “mold” with anything, I planned on destroying the mold to get to the soap if need be, but it popped right out.

    Cows milk soap first time

    Hi all, I’ve been making small batches recently. Until I get a recipe I really like and also it’s just fun to make small batches. I like the anticipation that comes with waiting for 4-6 weeks to be up (so the soap can cure awhile). This is my first time using cows milk in soap. I like that the...

    Hello. Excited to experiment

    Hi all- I’ve been making soap a couple of years. I’m not sure what started the hobby- my mom makes soap too but I’m surpassing her in experience (not quality though, necessarily lol) even though she claims it was her hobby first! I’m very passionate about soap making so I’m thrilled to have a...
