Thank you, this is very helpful! 😌

This clarifies a lot, thank you. I'll do some research to figure out the number, next time I'll dissolve it in water first and use just enough to fully dissolve.

Ok, it's good to get more confirmation they're looking like salt bars. Thank you. ^^

I think I unmolded these a few days after making them. I'd usually unmold the day after, but I made them on a weeknight at my boyfriend's and had work early the next day, so I didn't see them again til the weekend. It was already like this when I unmolded. I think the bars have gotten slightly...

Thank you! I tried to CPOP this batch, but it may not have worked because these were in a silicone mold and I turned the oven off as soon as I put them in. Do you have any pointers for dissolving the salt? I'm guessing I dissolve it in hot water and then cool it down before making the lye solution?

Lol! Okay, I can totally see that, appearance-wise. As long as it's safe, I'm happy! 😂

Hmm. I believe I got it to a light trace before adding anything and this actually started to accelerate once I got the colors and fragrance in. I think it accelerated because I soaped without a thermometer & it may have been a little hot still (oops!), but I also had never soaped with that...

Hi all, I've posted about an issue with brine soap previously. I had some spots on my first batch that looked like undissolved fine pink himalayan salt, and some of the bars eventually developed DOS so I trashed the batch out of precaution. When I tested the soap (before DOS), I loved the...

Getting this one in just under the wire because I couldn’t soap last weekend! I am excited to participate in my first challenge. :) My inspiration was this pink marble photo found on Google images. I used Dragonfruit & Pear FO from WSP. Colors are Amaranth Pink from Nurture Soap, titanium...

Katherine is unusually hyper. HYPE

Don't assume nobody participates. DONT

Oh hey! That makes a lot of sense. I remember that soap heating up a lot after I poured it into the mold too. This is good to know!

I forgot where, but I recently read that tea made for soaps shouldn't be steeped for too long because it'll either heat up more or darken the soap too much. Maybe this is a bit useless because I'm forgetting where I read this and exactly what was said, but the point was that steeping it for too...

Not today, but yesterday... I soaped after not having made any soap for about a month. I made a brine soap scented with Blackberry FO from Aztec Candles. The FO smells so sweet and yummy, good enough to drink! Haha. Once I started separating ingredients, I realized I had actually forgotten to...

Awesome! Thank you for the detailed descriptions. I have to try Island Oasis the next time I order from Nurture! 😍 And I'm gonna check out that Blue Raspberry FO, I'm intrigued!!

All of those FO's sound like they smell so yummy! Hoping for the best from your surgery. Hopefully you'll be back on your feet and soaping in no time!

1. Catscankim have been wanting to try this technique 2. Primrose - love this style! Hopefully, I don't lose my marbles trying to achieve it ... 3. Arimara - I may fail but at least I'm experienced with this brand of fail. XD 4. Elizevh - Oooh, So Pretty. I can't wait to try this out. 5. dibbles...

Happy birthday! These are gorgeous. I think the ash actually adds some nice dimension to the frosting, so it looks good to me. I haven't tried it yet, but I've read that lightly passing a steamer over the soda ash after will make it go away.
