Greetings to a fellow SoCal. I just pulled a sourdough loaf from oven last night. Who knew chemistry was so much fun?!
Admin- do we need a sourdough bread thread? 🤣
I have a question for you, @Zany_in_CO …I tried several lye based shampoo bar recipes all of which left my hair dry and dull and finally switched to syndet. Could the problem be the pH of soap? I rinsed with ACV, and applied a jojoba serum, but the damage was done. I have fairly long curly hair...
My soapy thing was finally being able to shampoo and condition my hair with my own Syndet bars this morning for the first time since my shoulder repair surgery 4.5 weeks ago. So nice to smell like me instead of a salon where I’ve been getting my hair shampooed—very grateful that was an option...
I don’t have nearly the experience of others here, but I love my pine tar soap using a basic Trinity formula. I also love seaweed added to ZNSC for a silky feel on my permanently dry skin. I’m also a fan of GM and use it whenever I can get ahold of the fresh stuff. I leave all the other fancy...
I suspect that trying to formulate a soap for wool will work about as well as making shampoo soap—it works for some people under some circumstances. SynDet shampoo and conditioner always for this crunchy granola girl.
