Can I ask how did you reach to that conclusion?

I would think the process. For the gel direct from the plant you just scrape it and blend it and its suuuuuper goey, like mucus, but the store bought is liquid, so for starters i would think is diluted and with some things added, like sugars and flavors and colors cause the stuff from the plant...

This. Im one of those people that neglects moistourizing after a shower, i never put any kind of lotion on my legs, and i always had that dry skin that looks flaky and ashy on them. And then i started using my soaps and that look on my legs is gone. They also feel softer. Its obviusly the soap...

“Why bother with all the oil combinations?” Well i cant talk for every soaper out there, i bother with all the oil combinations because different oils bring different things to the soap itself. More bubbles? Bring that coconut! Less slime? Less olive. More creaminess? More lard. Too stripping...

I have a couple of plants so I use the real stuff, no additives added. I also freeze it for easy storage. I honestly dont see much if any difference between aloe soaps and plain water soaps, but i use it because i have it. I use it for 100% of the water.

Oh god yes and my personal favorite is the signs at the door “push” and they pull, “pull” and they push. Why?! But i was thinking about someone fighting me because... i agreed with then. No, i did not say “i agree with you” explicitly but that is what the text was saying.

I like oatmeal, its not at scratchy and doesnt go brown, but i dont want every soap i use to have it. Same for coffee. The rest i better not try.

Why oh why cant people comprehend what they are reading?!

To transform oils to soap you need a certain amount of lye. So lets say you have 100 grams of oils and your recipe with 0% superfat calls for 10 grams of lye. Those 10 grams of lye will make the 100 grams of oil in to soap. To superfat you would need to add more oils than what the lye can make...

My gelled soaps rarely get ash. Maybe you can try and get them to fully gell.

I didnt do it on purpose but i out a few unwraped soaps on my bathroom because they were the next i was gonna use and they had quite a bit of ash and after a couple of showers all the ash was gone.

Curing soap https://classicbells.com/soap/cure.html Because we know she can explain this better, at least, than me haha.

Do not forget “your” and “you’re”. I third this. I studied literature, i cant stand those mistakes SPECIALLY if they come from publicity cause that is what people read. And lets not talk about publicity that comes from the government. How can they just not hire someone who knows how to spell?

Thanks for the info! I get it now, however the provider I am looking at is not a supplier for that manufacturer. They list the flakes for candle making because they do not melt? So my guess would be: get the other kind!

What does 415 refers to? Melting point?

A question for my soy wax users: i found a supplier that list soy wax at high and low melting points (do not specify what is a low or high melting point) one of them looks like is in flakes and the other looks like blocks maybe? Any advise on what should i get?

Soapcalc will give you a bit of info of each of the oils you select. Or just google “oil properties in soap”. You can use basically any oil you want.

One of my first soaps was made with cocoa powder and a pink mica. The mica faded a bit, the cocoa powder looks the same color as the new bars.

Yes. I love my salt bars starting at 4 weeks. I tried one that was like 5 months or so and was not blown away. I still loved it cause i love my salt bars but it wasnt as amazing as i thought it would be

The one I just found but havent actually order from them since i dont need supplies right now is BR PROQUIM google it like that and you’ll find the kichnik link of their store. They apparently are mexican with mexican sources so no excuse on the national products part there ha! Another one is...
