@dmcgee5034, those are so cute! I love the artwork on your labels 😍

Thank you for starting this conversation @neonstudy and for keeping it going @SoapSisters! I missed the initial post. I'm making soap for myself and I'm very comfortable using syndets, so I'm jumping onto this bandwagon. Building on @DeeAnna 's attachment from Classic Bells (SUCH a wealth of...

On my quest for soap I love, I'm creating this thread as a diary of the journey. I made this one in September 2022. Used herbs (weeds, haha!) from my garden and surrounding area. My only complaint is that it's too soft, but I didn't add anything to firm it up, so I'll try that next batch...

I haven't used hemp oil in lotions myself; salad yes, body products no! The extract sounds really nice. I'm glad you have something that works! How does it smell? I can vouch for arnica and cannabis infused oil. Arnica I buy as an extract, but I make the cannabinoid oil myself with leaves just...

Aw thanks guys, yeah, I'm well past trouble-shooting those bars :p. I can't remember the name of the vendor right now, maybe DIY something? Anyway, I don't really blame the recipe per se. I have used every single one of the same ingredients *except for one* (the SLSa powder I used up making it)...

Those darn dos can be pretty tricky. I got them on my first ever batch years and years ago - I thought I could make soap using expired shortening - lol! This time the cause is unknown. The recipe was for a "fluid" product. Fresh ingredients, known syndets, bars cured and stored right beside my...

Ah, thanks for the Intel! I'm always interested in talking lotion bar tips! But I meant to ask if you settled on a recipe for shampoo bars 😉 I was just curious what recipe you are going to try - just bein' nosey! Lol! I have a few in testing phases myself. I actually purchased a recipe from...

Have you settled on a recipe yet, @Zing ?

My kids won't use bar soap either. It drives me batty! 🦇 I'm trying to save the environment for YOU, kids!!! That's what drove me to making liquid soap in the first place, and why I joined SMF, so I'll call that a win. :winner:

I just spent a hot minute trying to figure out how.we started talking about sewing. Scrubs. I'm a sleep deprived nurse lol!! I had some friends over to show them how to make some basics. Herb infused oils, whipped body butter and drawing salve.

I've actually been making a ton of stuff lately, but this week I made a batch of magnesium lotion with horsetail extract for leg cramps and vein health. Inspired by Nerdy Farm Wife. Also made some lip balm based on a humble bee recipe. I think it looks nice, and it feels divine! Soy wax rather...

Windy point https://www.windypointsoap.com/products/black-turret-cap-24-410?variant=34249075884091 I like the plastic pipettes for small amounts of oil, like sea buckthorn, or liquid germall...

I'm curious, what is the soapy use for potassium sorbate? I use it to arrest fermentation when sweetening homemade wine, but I thought it wasn't recommended for skin care. Hmmmm... I've been doing lots of bath and body stuff lately, but I haven't taken many pictures so I haven't posted about...

I've tried every solid dish soap recipe out there and this one is my favorite Solid Dish Soap Bar Recipe How to Make a Zero Waste Dishwashing Soap

I have zero answers for you, but those are gorgeous soaps!

Thanks everyone, and thanks @Marsi for putting up the right link! I forgot about the polysorbate 80, though I did use it in my last batch, I don't think I used nearly enough. So, I upped the PS 80 amount and added the meadowfoam oil IL suggested. It was still a little harsh, so I added some...

Hello all you lovely, soapy people! I need some suggestions please. I've been making liquid soap for a couple of years now and I'm confident that I have the process down. My issue is that the soap is stripping, and I'd like to make it more mild somehow. The recipe I'm currently working with...

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I'm looking for 😊

Hi all, happy Spring, all you lovely soapy people! 🦋🫧 I made a batch of liquid soap that is very cocoa butter forward, and I don't absolutely adorable cocoa butter's scent. I'd like to add something that would go well with the existing smell, but I can't think of anything, so I'm looking for...
