    I tried to HP Zany's no slime Castile

    I started out with your original recipe @Zany_in_CO I started out with your original recipe @Zany_in_CO and the water/lye ratio of 1.7:1. I made a very small batch (so glad I did) the soap came out crumbly and did not hold together we'll. Almost looks like a rice cake. Lol. I made a full quart...

    I tried to HP Zany's no slime Castile

    Not silly at all. Spot on! BUT. If you increase the faux seawater, which is used to make the lye solution, you might have more of the sea salt and baking soda in the batch which could throw off the final result. So, my suggestion would be to make a small batch and try the recipe as written. Have...

    hp beer soap?

    What about a 50/50 water and beer ratio as the liquid portion? Or is it best to do all beer, for liquid, when making beer soap?

    Vanilla Chai tea EO blend

    Probably not. Nothing replaces vanilla IMO and I've tried lots of stuff. But benzoin is nice in its own way so it's worth a try. I don't make it for soap. I made it for a perfume roll on and lotion
