Has anyone got to the end of the bar made with zea water? Does it get thinner without bending later than soap made without zea water?

Do you have access to refined cocoa butter? Is it cheap in ur country?

Thx for sharing results. If u sell, u can mrkt ur soap as tested on babies not animals.:D Sounds like OO is drying compared to other liquid oils as others have reported. To confirm you would need test two bars made with same recipie with OO being the only diff. Also to make sure the baby...

Hi @Dawni. Ive been thinking bout the conditioning prop lately and remembered ur post. Are u saying that ur skin feels diff when u wash with low cleansing/low conditioning soap vs low cleansing/high conditioning soap? If so, what is the diff that u feel?

To use up the remnants of what could be considered a facial bar (no lauric/myristic acid), I stuck it to a new bar that could be considered a body bar (with lauric/myristic). It got me thinking. Has anyone intentionally created a 2 in 1 bar where its has two layers, one for the body and one...

You may want to check the lather additive article that I posted this am.

I think its worth the $ if its the look that you are going for.

Just came across this interesting article.

Here's my soap beveled with the radius planer. My little tool isnt as impressive as @hungryhawaiian’s :rolleyes: but I’m very pleased with the results. I like that it doesn’t take too much off.

In light of @Zany_in_CO’s Zeawater Zoap recipie, I’m bumping this thread. Its been reported that 50% oleic is the threshold for soap with wo oleic gel. Do you agree that this is the threshold? Second question, can a high conditioning property counter act the cleansing property? For...

FYI Differin sells cleansers and moisturizers to b used with their product.

I do two bar test batches at bout 185 g of oils. Ur stickblender must b tiny to make that sm of a batch. Can u post a pic of the SB next something for size comparison.

Almond Oil Cocoa Butter

Thx Zany. Who says soaping can’t be glamorous? Ur zea water has my head spinning. I think the next batch of my stnd recipe will significantly drop the SW, increase the AO and use zea water to make it hard and glossy.

How did we go from moisturizing soap to peppermint p3n!s? Someone needs to steer this bus out of the gutter! Seriously, Im reconsidering the “conditioning” property on account how soft my skin feels after washing with AO/CB soap. I always considered HO filler but now I’m having second...

Brambleberrys website is dn. Do u have a alternative vendor for orange 10-15x EO?

This recipe makes my skin feel incredibly soft. Is it the high Almond Oil or the Cocoa Butter that is causing the “softness” effect? 8O AO 15 CB 5 Castor

No but it should be fine. I use carrot juice in my lye liquid.

For environmental reasons, I use soy wax instead of palm for hardness and longevity. Vegan commercial soap is typically 80% palm.

The rock hard bar used @Zany_in_CO' a faux sea water at 1.7:1. Don't confuse hardness with longevity. Coconut oil (lauric and myristric acids) makes a hard bar but is soluble. For longevity (insolubility) you need palmitic and/or stearic acids. They also make a bar hard. You are getting...
