    Help with Emu recipe please

    Isn't it great? It never gets old the researching and testing. Soapmaking is not easy. Let me rephrase that: It is easy to make a batch of soap but to tweak and perfect it and work through the many failures to get that perfect recipe, that isn't easy. Good job on doing your research ❤

    Soaping temperature

    I have a lot of hard oils in my recipe. I find that 95° is about the sweet spot for me.

    Made a decision on e-commerce

    That sounds awful! I'm so sorry that happened to you Peachy. I thought about doing Amazon as well. Their fees are confusing aren't they?

    Made a decision on e-commerce

    I wanted to update you all on my experience with Shopify. I've been very pleased with it. I've sold $200 in soaps the last month and a half. Slow and steady wins the race 🐢. I really have to credit Kenna from Modern Soapmaking again because I believe her soapmaker to money maker taught me...

    Happy Soapiversary to Me!!

    Happy Soapiversary and thank you for sharing your struggles *hugs* I grew up with a mother who was a suicidal alcoholic. As a child I found her in our VW van after she shot herself. Sobriety is so difficult but so important not just for you but for everyone who loves you. You don't know me but I...

    Soapmakers on Youtube

    I wear shorts when I soap during the summer 😳 No Pyrex. No glass. I only use polypropylene for mixing lye solution and batter. The only YouTube soaper I absolutely cannot tolerate is a lady who does HP and sells her soaps with medical claims. Makes me so irritated that people are willfully...

    Glass and lye; truth or myth?

    I think you are fine they are brand new, they won't suddenly break on you. Just slowly transition over time if you want too.

    Glass and lye; truth or myth?

    Yes they do. One of my friends had a Pyrex container shatter all over while she was soaping so just because it has never happened to this person doesn't make it a good idea to use it.

    Glass and lye; truth or myth?

    I watched a few of her videos. Her personality is not my particular cup of tea but she has made a lot of soap and she teaches classes.

    Soapmakers on Youtube

    Well said! 😍 You are always full of great knowledge so I thank you for that. I admit to being overly defensive and protective of my YouTube brothers and sisters. It is an incredible amount of work to make them and I'm sure they just want to do the best they can just like I do. I doubt my...

    Wholesale Supplies Plus shipping delays

    I finally got my order yesterday. Everything perfect. People have made great points about the supply chain and having trouble finding enough employees. I didn't know wsp took over makeyourown that's a bummer.

    Rosemary and...?

    I made a blend with dark patchouli, himalayan cedarwood, lavadin and rosemary that smells amazing but I agree with you that rosemary on its own is ick.
