No. Just the gell part and it also happens with the soaps that do not contain aloe, but coconut milk. The aloe ended up more chunky than expected but i do puree it. Edit: the yellow chinks are another soap. This is a conffeti soap.

Okay, so I honestly dont know what it is but my last few batches of soap have all ended up beign scratchy when i didnt mean them to. Is not too bad to be unusable but i wanted some smooth soaps and for some reason they all end up scratchy. When tou see them they look fine, if you tilt them you...

Children should not see childbirth?

I’ve done that. It was just a little bit left of the coconut oil jar and it was a few years old. I opened it and it smell like coconut oil but... old. Like kinda dusty? It didnt smell bad and it didnt look bad, just smelled old on top of the normal coconut so I used it and made the soap. Soap...

This just happened to me today. I was measuring my solids (coconut and palm) and i pressed tare after the coconut, problem is you have to press it twice, once will give you the total amount and twice will show the 0. So i only pressed once, didnt notice and started putting in chunks of the palm...

The same happened to me a week ago. I usually split the fragrance since they accelerate so i use the unscented one for the top. I did the same but my batch was 200 grams smaller tha n it usually is and i divided it in halves, it did weep but it seems it stoped by now.

I can smell it but most people dont.

Might be healthy but not really cost effective on the other side of the world!

I just noticed ungelled soap mildly irritates me because it takes longer to unmold and cut. I want to cut my soap NAO.

Ingredients: mica, perfume, soap.

@amd I’ve made a few batches with cocoa powder and I can still smell it after a few months, but I am the only one ha! @MKLonestar Will do! @dixiedragon, oh, sorry! But besides those oils I only have avocado and soy. I’m almost out of lard but I do want this one to be veggie anyway. Never...

Hi guys thanks for your feedback so far! @dixiedragon Now that I think about it, I think that what I look for the most on my soaps is for then to be creamy. My skin does okay with highish coconut but i think this time I would like to go for a bit of a gentler bar, thats why I lowered my...

Sooo.... i finally got cocoa butter and I was tinkering with % and i am not sure what to do. What do you think about this recipe I just came up with? 5% Castor 5% Almond 10% Cocoa butter 20% Coconut 30% Olive 30% Palm Should I give it a go? Should I up the Olive and lower the Palm? What do you...

As a mexican... those do look mexican, ha! I would have used more red and a deeper shade because thats a very prominent color used in sarapes, but, they come in every color of the rainbow so that is just me. That orange is super vibrant and looks very much like mexican marigold color. Spot on...

Made a quick soap to finish the crisco i still had and to test a peach fragrance and a new small mold i got. The mold is quite small and can only fit 600 grams of oils plus the water and lye. It is cute but is smaller than my now normal batches and will make smaller bars obviously. The FO...

Where is that place, @loriag? Looks beutiful but i would die a very cold death if i step foot there haha. This picture I took last year in Tulum. I love the beaches of that place and it makes me happy/sad because i want to go back!

Coffee and random videos youtube suggest. Expect to end on cats at some point.

I forgot i was out of lye, so not soaping per se, just washing soap dishes and cutting and cleaning the ones i made this past few days

I’ve been making a bunch of soap this past few days. 2 scents smell fine, but they accelerate way too much to be able to do any pretty swirls. Once smells meh and it was the one that behave beautifully. I have 2 batches cut and cleaned and one that i just unmolded today. I am down to my last...

Thanks @dixiedragon those white backing chips i know i can get! @cmzaha i absolutelly forgot about tallow. The thing is i havent seen it in stores the same way as the lard. Maybe i havent looked hard enough. I am in Mexico City, so it is kinda amazing to me that we dont have such easy access...
