    50 lb lye!

    May I please ask, how did you transfer it from the bag it came in to the smaller bags? I also got one and some bottles to put it in but I'm so lost as how to transfer it. I have no help as I live alone.

    Underrated and Overrated Soaping Ingredients

    Most of the soaps I make are with Goat Milk. Goat milk soap is beneficial for all skin types but those with sensitive, dry, or acne-prone skin may benefit the most from the moisturizing and healing properties of the goat milk. The fatty acids found in goat milk help to nourish and soften the...

    Photo Backdrops

    There are a few apps that you can use on your phone. I like Light Room and Photo Room. Product photos is a real challenge for me. Hopefully I will get great at it someday. I also read the email and shared it with my son. Will definitely watch this video and send it to him also. Thanks for sharing.

    How Important is Sodium Lactate?

    I have stopped using it as it's a costly expense for me. I have to import it to my country. So I only use it in my lotions and butters.
