    FO and Salt Soap

    I made my salt bars in February with Lavender and cedar from Brambleberry. Aroma is still there. It was 80% coconut oil, 20% Olive oil and 20%SF. 35% salt. Only bars got a little bit yellow.

    Beef tallow+Salt+Charcoal soap!

    Dear soapmakers! Has anyone done charcoal and salt bar with 100% tallow? Or which oils would be the best with salt and charcoal? Thank you very much! I have made only charcoal soap with pine tree essence I made myself, and coconut, shea, olive, tallow, castor. With BB's FO. It is a bestseller.

    I got a lye burn

    Remember my studies at a Russian university for 5 years for my chemistry degree. Never used gloves or glasses. It was a very poor time. Survived. No one lost eyes. Although we did more dangerous reactions with pure Na or K metals.
