Personal choice but I only use evoo and buy it from restaurant depo. I had to demonstrate that I had a business and received a card. They also have other oils there as well.

I find coconut oil to be a bit drying on my skin and rarely use it. I use babassu oil or palm kernel oil instead. Tallow has cleansing numbers and use that instead of coconut oil as well. Avocado, sweet almond, baobab and apricot kernel oils if you want to experiment. Canola if you feel you...

Yes. I rarely change that as well. There are many Soapers that fiddle with those numbers but I tend not to so not the best person to clear that up. Thank you. It has been. Wonderful journey making hot process. I won’t go back to cold process even if my soaps look more rustic.

Sometimes I get swirls. Sometimes I can barely get the soap in the mold. Coconut oil helps keep the soap fluid enough to swirl but I don’t use it much because it is too harsh on my skin. It takes quite a bit of practice to swirl hot process and even then it can be impossible. I shoot for great...

I mix in yogurt, extra water for clays/sometimes mica, sugar, sodium lactate, extra oil and 3% glycerine after the cook. If you have a hard bar recipe according to soapcalc 38% water plus a touch more doesn’t hurt and the loaf is hard by late afternoon when I cut it.

I have used Kombo butter. I love it but just started playing with it.

Love it

I’ll check. Thank you

I have not soaped with j. Woods or franc Encens. I make a frank & myrrh with encens chembur and mossy Forest path. I have quite a bit so have not made more.

I have not soaped with wild fig. I am looking forward to soaping with London calling. I love it. I immediately made soap with tuberose and it is so beautiful. It is a little light but the notes come through. I also am looking forward to soaping sigh spiced cardamom. It is so nice

I am a huge fan of Tom ford and looking for a dupe of rose prick and lavender extreme in a fragrance oil so I can make my own products. Mostly for myself but I am not opposed to selling lotions made with them. They are beautiful. I hoped someone here could help me

Good luck. I have naturally curly heavy hair. It finally keeps its curl with the shampoo bar. Commercial shampoo and conditioner just made my hair heavy.

Beautiful. It is a great fragrance

I have incredibly long hair and my hair is healthy and vibrant. Formulating a lye based shampoo bar can take a long time. Coconut oil can be very irritating - palm kernel oil and babassu oil also have cleansing attributes and are less irritating. I found many of the recipes online were not...

Maybe it was just me. I also felt if I was going to sell shampoos bars I definitely did not want to deal with the sticky mess.

I struggled to find good fragrances until I found scent memory. I initially wanted to try candles but am not good at making them. I really love the variety I have found and scent memory has a lovely eucalyptus tea fo and quite a few rose scents. Rose 31 is light and I use it for my face care...

I make my own hyaluronic acid toner, cleansing balm and face cream (a take on Egyptian magic cream). Let me tell you - it has helped my aged skin look youthful and vibrant. It helped with blotchy skin and wrinkles. My face is soft and clear. Formulating your own skin care regime is incredibly...
