Thanks!

I’ve done it twice now using squeeze bottles and cutoff pipettes. It wasn’t too hard. Just make sure you use a fluid recipe and well behaving fragrance. Have everything laid out and ready to go. The base should be at a light when you pour it into the mold because it will setup a bit more while...

Hi Karina! Love your biz name!

I’m still working out a sea salt bar recipe that makes me happy. I really like less than 50% of the oil weight. 30-25%. Is there a written “rule” for sea salt spa bar ratios. I’m guessing there are no soap police out there and it’s like the Wild Wild West. I’ve noticed that commercial Castile...

They do have great fragrances but I get so frustrated with them.

There is a difference and I’m sure it’s a smaller amount than can’t consume but one of my very best friends is very sensitive topically and she prefers handmade soap and I want her to be able to use my soap. I find it’s kind of a niche too. I’m amazed at how many people come out of the woodwork...

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.popsugar.com/smart-living/Homemade-Toilet-Bomb-Fizzies-31734698/amp I’m going to make a batch of these today. I’m the worst housekeeper but maybe these will help get the kids interested in keeping the toilets clean. I’ve always thought that master bathrooms are...

I did talk to the local club here in town. We (hubby and I) are currently taking care of my elderly parents, 2 kids 12&9, a dog, a cat, and my .42 acres, small soap biz and my husbands job isn’t 9-5. I tried pet rabbits for rabbit poo and fun but it was just too much. One more thing would put me...

I would be interested if they are 100 percent biodegradable NOT just recyclable. Could be used for other things?

Card stock isn’t heavy enough. If you have a cardstock pad hanging around, use the cardboard at the back of the pad.

@Chris_S I make vegan soaps almost by accident. I’m allergic to dairy but not vegan myself. I just don’t keep milk around and I find my recipes without animal products are plenty luxurious. I like palm oil though. I found that tagging my soaps on Instagram as vegan has given my instagram a big...

Really nice! Isn’t it satisfying to see all those uniformly cut bars. Your soap looks great!

Well I really loved your amethyst. My son and I rock tumble and it’s my absolute favorite.

Thank you @Terri E. The challenge was timely because I was making these for a popup market in March anyway. I wanted a simple river rock look.

Here’s my entry Edit: So here’s some info about these soaps. They are soleseife made from Oregon coast seawater collected on the day of the last super moon which I think was also a blood moon and there was a corresponding king tide. I used coffee grounds to get the speckled look. Oxides...

This link took me to a spam site

I think Nurture Soap has a color blend function on their website somewhere.

I used a white melt and pour base for all the embeds EXCEPT the tails. I used extra cold process for the tails and they had to sit in the mold for 4 days to get hard enough to unmold but I just couldn’t get the melt and pour to be smooth. I took a small paint brush and “painted” dry mica powder...

It did accelerate slightly. Didn’t rice but I was expecting it to. I think it’s definitely worth it. Chocolate chip cookies. No wait that’s Michael the Ark Angel.

This took months to get all the embed molds from Ali Express and micas from mad micas. I know the mermaid thing has been done to death but I have a 9 yo daughter and I love folk tales especially Irish ones. I fragranced with 8th and Ocean which ended up accelerating at room temp and then tried...
