You actually can get butters here in Mexico. I found two providers so far that ship eveywhere (or search in mercado libre), but the point is, they are not that hard to come by, its just that depending on your provider they can get expensive. As for aloe, i am pretty sure you have a tia...

Here is a good article that talks about superts in cp and hp soap https://classicbells.com/soap/superfat.html

I usually blend the Td directly in to the oils before adding the lye same with micas if i’m only making one color. If not i add it directly to the batter just past emulsion. Sometimes i get little spots here and there but it usually blends fine. But my td is oil soluble. I gave up on premixing...

Thats basically what my friday looked like, but my soap already finished gelling and its cooling down now.

Ohhh i had to improvise the same way with my dogs. Got that same look from them.

Made my second wine soap because that wine was getting old and I was not gonna drink it.

I smooth the soaps usually right after cutting them unless they are still too soft. And i do that because then i make balls with the scraps and save them for embeds for a future soap. I like the way they look when they are smooth, specially the edges that end up with somewhat of a texture from...

I only watch Holly and Katie. Tried Ariana but she is not my cup of tea and Yellow cottage kinda bores be cause she won't talk and listening to just music is also not my cup of tea.

Oh god no. I cant stand the smell of carnitas and i will only eat them if I really REALLY have to, but i can be a very happy mexican without eating carnitas ever again. Forgot: i keep my lard on the refrigerator. Sometimes i freeze it if i wont be using it in a long time.

Here we use lard for cooking quite a few things, so it is readily available and super cheap. I really like it in soap HOWEVER i can smell the lard on the cured soaps and i can not deal with lard scent. I just cant (and no, i mot overhear it because that also causes it smell), sooo i will finish...

Ooooh i love gumnastics, its one of the two sports i actually enjoy watching on tv. Congrats to her! Here my youngest nice. She’s 10 months old and i only met her a couple of weeks ago. Love at first sight. And she seemed to like me too. Cant wait to see her again, but thats gonna have to...

Made a soap! I like the fragrance (camomile) but the FO accelerates like crazy so i cant really do pretty designs. I can barely get the thing in the mold before it becomes soap on a stick. Eh. I already learned how to deal with that. I dont ming if it ends up being just a plain color soap.

You can also make 100% coconut oil soaps with salt on them for a nice salt bar that is vegan. There are tons of recipes on here that wont use palm or animal products. Use the forum search instead of teacher google cause then you will end up in websites that may or may not know what they are...

I just have to say that i love the person who came up with “alien brains”. Love it.

Left over mole verde

Yes, but the issue here is that, if you dont give yourself time to even know that this things could potentially happen, then you shouldnt be selling. A batch can fail no matter how many years you have been making them, but a new soaper might not even know the soap is a fail (prople dont know...

But what are the new ideas you are bringing to the “when to start selling”? Cause this are all discussion that have been done in the past and probably will keep ocurring. The reason people are so against starting to sell when you are new to soap making is because you dont have all the info...

At least you've done quite a few so in my head you are quite a few steps above those who make ONE batch of a recipe they found somewhere on the internets and didnt check them on a soap calculator and then decide they will sell at one week cure. The one thing I do no not agree with is that this...

Right? I grew up with those books! And the first part of the soap story from the books is like that, they were cooking something over a hole, enter torrential rain, she comes back to save her spoon, spoons falls in to the hole filled with liquid and soap, she washes the spoon and notices its...

Have you read the Earth Children series by Jean Auel? At book 2 i think there is a talk about soap and soap making and by book 4, the author goes in to the details about when people were still on the prehistoric era could have come up with soap making. Probably not how it actually happen but the...
