Thank you for explaining this to me. I clearly understand the issue of palm oil in products and the issues surrounding deforestation. I do not use Palm oil or PKO in any of my products. And I have struggled to come up with a soap I like for my vegan son and friends but have decided to stay...

Dean - I notice many times ( even in a shave soap recipe) that you use Soy wax. I personally have never made soap with this ingredient and do not see if in soap recipes. Can you explain to me what you think it brings to your soap as I am unfamiliar?

Congrats! I love all the entires! I tried to think of an entry but just couldn't get with it. Nice job!

I did the same as you a few months back. I ended up making 6 different recipes I came up with. I liked 3 of them. And then narrowed it down to just 1. Its really about preference. Its the concept and the ingredients that kept me changing it up. And yes I agree that this is exactly why I love...

Im afraid to ask how they get the fat? What do you put on the label for Camel fat? I would think people think like me - like hey thats gross lol. But even when they know my soap has lard they freak out. They have no idea what great soap it makes.

How is the soap at 20%? better to use the milk or the fat?

Im in Miami and I had the same problem. I put a small de-humidifier in my soap room and they got rock hard with the TWH recipe and I packaged them in cello bags and sealed them so no air could get to them. . They did not go soft on me. But if I do not package them they do. Now with that being...

When the mixture is more on the drier side it comes out crackly like that. When you make them if your first one is too smooth let it sit a few. Also it can be your scoop. Try a different one. I had that problem with an older one that was my moms.

For the steamers I use the 50g size they are perfect for this application. Easy to use. Just make your mix and turn upside down and fill press down gently so you know its filled and then flip over onto parchment or whatever you want to use and press the plunger down and then lift up letting the...

The shower steamers are super popular and I always have people ask me for them and they literally take 15 minutes to make 2 dozen of them. My Menthol, Eucalyptus and Peppermint ones are their favorite even though I make them also in Lavender and many other essential oils blends. When people are...

IPM may work as well. Let me know how that goes. Im a night time soaper - Like the middle of the night! So I may try to make it now. Who knows - Im tying to perfect an in the shower lotion bar that is a little creamy. Im on test bar #4 lol

Ive never used it in that form. I have used raw. But test something. Put a small amount in a little dish of water and see if it re-hydrates. Then you will know if you can use it. It should. Then you will have to make a thick paste. But just test with a tablespoon or so. Leave it overnight...

Ill private message you mine. Its a good one. You can scoop them with an ice cream scoop or roll them out and shape them.

Irishlass - I know this is an old post but Im curious regarding your recipe. I have been struggling with trying to make myself an in shower lotion bar. My skin is so dry and Ive been using my regular lotion bar. But in the shower I wanted something more creamy and less waxy. I did not have too...

She said she got it at Herbco so I just assume it is powdered. I use it raw like you do.

Ive used this program for many many years and gone through many updates to the program as they constantly improve it. When I started using it I had just bought a lot of different items and so I started entering those and new items as I purchased them. I guessed at the amounts of oils that I had...

What did you get? Powdered?

Are they clear or natural? I would be interested if you want to unload some. lol Are they clear or natural?
