Hi Jen, it looks like your recipe already has the 5% superfat. Some people set aside a "superfat" oil to add at trace, but I think the general consensus is that there is no need to do this. People really only do this if they are using a small amount of an expensive specialty oil anyway. ETA...

Haha ewwww! Thanks for sharing

I've been using rice (dry!) to keep my lip balm tubes upright as I fill them. Lovely things, these rice grains ;)

Hi :)

Let us know what you end up doing and how it goes. It will be an adventure for sure! Had one more thought - you could have pretty papers, scissors and glue for people to package soap prettily. Some years I have fun making boxes or other pretty wrappings for the soap, and I think lots of adults...

:goodbye1:

Oh, haha I just opened the link. Hot DRY rice! The first time I read this I imagined you heating your benzoin in a fresh batch of sticky rice. I will try this method after all :)

I did! The sushi and the candycane soaps ♡

What about bringing a batch of soap dough for people to play with? I have never made it but it looks fun. https://sorcerysoaps.com/blogs/soap-dough-recipe/free-soap-dough-recipe Brambleberry has a recipe for an easy melt and pour version too...

Thanks for posting this, I never watched their videos before. I love his personality, so kind, odd, and funny. Amazing layer skillz.

Hi! That's a nice looking bundle of soaps in your Avatar.

It looks like that nutrition label is missing the info to estimate the oleic-nissity☆ of the oil. The front side is covered with phrases good for frying (high) but also good for salad dressing.... wonder if this is a mid-oleic then? I think you'll be safe, no matter the oleicnissity* of the...

Yay!!

Awesome!!

@MGM thanks again for another scent review! I really want to like their FOs because they are the cheapest when you only want a few ounces. I haven't tried as many FOs from them, but I'll second that Woodland Themes sticks, as does Midnight Jasmine. I loved the Midnight Jasmine (I think I might...

Wow his instincts are amazing! Glad your family made it through the accident unhurt. Deer are crazy.

Welcome Kare :)

Congratulations!! :hippo: Eta: don't throw out the fragrances yet! Sense of smell changes sometimes and there is a whole world of smelly things to make beyond soap.

Haha you are lucky I have just enough beeswax for the lipbalms I have planned today, or I would steal your recipe. (Don't worry, I'll forget it by tomorrow). I soap pretty hot these days too, but I'm thinking your oils would need to get even hotter to melt the beeswax. Plus beeswax will speed...
