Hey what happened to the cool brown color board? This blue is not easy on the eyes. Reminds me of a hospital.

Has anyone ever tried using dried and ground avocado peelings in their soap? I was wondering if they are safe to use.

I've never heard of soap causing your skin to shrivel. The best way to make sure that your soap has the right amount of lye is to use a lye calc. You can also check by touching the tip of your tongue with the soap. If there is not zap then there is not lye. Maybe you used too much coconut oil...

I have some Myrrh and Frankincense stones. I grounded them to a powder but the powder is sticky. Does anyone know if I can put them in my soap in that form or should they be infused? I am thinking that the soap may feel sticky if I put in the actual powder but I am not sure. Can someone please...

Can someone please tell me what I can do to make my soap last longer. They seem to dissolve quickly. I don't leave them sitting in water in the soap dish. I cure them for one month or more but they still dissolve quickly. I use coconut, palm olive almond castor etc... I have used other...

Does making soap with things like pumpkin or any food cause the soap to become rancid in time? How long does soap made with food keep?

Everytime I make camel's milk soap it seems to be very drying to my skin. I use the same oils for my other soaps and those soaps are just fine. What can I do to make the camel's milk soap more moisturizing? I use olive, coconut, palm and soy. These oils work well with my other soaps.

NICE PICS, interesting project
