I have a soap that stinked horror in the beginning! The scent was Moroccan Escape by Eroma. It was awful! Like the cheapest and most rancid men's deodorant. The scent was supposed to be: "Transport yourself to a Marrakesh market with this mysterious blend of bergamot and zingy ginger...

Try dual lye (95% Naoh and 5% Koh). You will get wonderful bubbly soap that bubbles straight away. Since it becomes so bubbly, you can also use those last slivers almost to the end, which is a bonus. Dual lye is wonderful! I tested it once out of curiosity, and finally got a soap that was like a...

I have read somewhere that every cosmetic grade colored mica and pigments in America are synthetic, because the FDA have banned the use of natural mica and pigments for safety reasons (heavy metal impurities and such). I don't know if that is the case, but if it is, then you can't find a natural...

Many items are cosmetic grade, even if they are marked for another purpose. Candle wax can be cosmetic grade, even if they don't specificly say so (I have such a wax where the supplier did not mention cosmetics, only candles). Find the MSDS and/or other documents, and you can most likely find...

@SaltedFig Wow! That is a superb tool! :-) Thanks!

Hi! I did not see your answer before now. I did mail Mills and got a fatty acid profile for Flott Matfett. After a lot of experimenting in Soapcalc to get it right, I got it almost spot on right, but not 100%, and got a NaoH sap. value of 0,142. Same as palm oil. I can't remember which...

@geniash That tool is actually useful for blending fiber reactive dyes too. Thank you!

There are no suppliers in Norway. Some have a fragrance oil or two for astronomical prices. So you have to buy from abroad. Many suppliers ship to Norway, but many don't. I bought from Eroma in Australia (very high shipping cost), and had to arrange shipping myself (which was a plus since I...

Not all of their fragrances are skin safe: "Can I use LAB & CO candle fragrances in soap or other body products? LAB & CO fragrances are specifically formulated for candle making. However, some of the fragrances might be approved for use in other products. Please contact [email protected]...

Hi! Dharma Trading, who sells fiber reactive dyes for tie dye etc, they have a color tool for making your own palette. It is ment to help buyers of fiber reactive dyes figure out which colors to buy. But it definately can work for soapmaking as well. The tool is beyond easy to use. Just drag...

You can call the store and ask for a material safety data sheet (MSDS). There you can find out more about the product. That lye might be very good, or might be useless. So you need more information. The lye must be close to 100% Naoh (sodium hydroxide) with no additives. A cheap lye I found...

I have a castile soap, so I ran and fondled it. It is rock hard. But it is also very old. I don't remember exactly, but it is around or more than 1,5 years old. The castile soap you fondled might be one of those "fresh handmade soaps" that are so popular these days. I have seen Lush marketing...

You make it seem like I have written the worst things in the world, while it only was another word for nonsense. That's it, and nothing more than that. A common english word used everywhere, even by your own president. So if you make complete war because a foreigner doesn't know exactly which...

I have the same problem, difficult to find almost everything. Since you are in Mexico, maybe Peter Paiva in Brasil ships to you for an affordable price? Here is the link to the shop: https://www.lojapeterpaiva.com.br

And capric and caprylic acids are not good fat. Those are the two (if I don't remember wrong) that makes coconut oil soap drying to the skin. Commercial soaps often do contain those two fatty acids in form of coconut oil. And the truth is, goat's milk is probably the absolutely not the best mix...

I had no idea that the specific word were bad language. I try to not write bad language, so it is a lot I think but not write. I thought that that word were a common word and not bad language, actually. I had no idea before Earlene told me. And I had no idea it could be offensive. If I was...

Thank you Earlene, I have now edited it away. Why do I write such words in the first place? It is because I think in my language and express myself in the way it is in my part of my country. I have done that all my life, since I have been living here always. And here we use such words all the...

@amd You should be proud of yourself, because that is a great video! I really liked it a lot:thumbs:

Thank you! :) Don't mind poor editing and not perfect videos (but I guess they are all fine as they are, I have not seen them yet). Almost nobody have perfect videos anyway. So that is nothing to worry about. I tried video editing once, and gave up quite fast. I like Hippie Mumma, I have her...

That is the worst I have read, ever! I just googled the sentence, and found out which company who wrote that. I think it is fair to share the link. It is a commercial product available in stores all over America, so people should know that they are trying to mislead people. They write more...
