Good to know no matter what. I love salt and use all different kinds! My favorite for table salt is grey sea salt although I’d imagine it wouldn’t work in soap because the salt has a high moisture content. But it’s so good on the pork butt and butter beans I made last night! And! Iceland sounds...

Hi! What oils do you like to use for your salt soap? There’s lots of opinions and I’d like to know yours. I’m about to make my first batch and I’ll be using coconut oil and shea butter. Thanks in advance!

I’ll give it a whirl and let you know around Christmas 😬

Thanks so much, Earlene. Looking forward to checking them all out. It’s nice to know what floats other’s boats! Thank you so much! Some of these tips I’ve heard but others I’ve not so I really appreciate the additional knowledge. It’s interesting you mention the roughness of the Himalayan pink...

I think that’s exactly what it is. I clean them regularly but have read about nickel allergies and am thinking that’s what’s going on.

I was thinking the same about the glycerin but am so very new to all this I didn’t want to assume. I understand what you’re saying about the order of the ingredients and what that would imply regarding the percentages of each. I see this written in the description of her soaps on various...

Yeah. I was thinking 10%. Her lather isn’t big bubbles but it’s thick and creamy. My skin feels incredible after using it. Why do you think she added glycerin? Just to soften it a bit? Also, how long does your salt soap last compared to a regular bar?

Do you have the link to the triple rice? Also, I think your soap would turn out like this. I love black rice and definitely plan on using it sometime soon! https://binu-binu.com/products/black-rice-milk-soap Today I’m finally ordering my first batch of oils, butters, lye, etc! Can’t wait to get...

@Obsidian I’ve read that triangle shaped soap is easy to handle. I have some but haven’t used it yet. I’ve been trying soaps from different makers to see what ingredients I might like for the end product. I’m especially interested in trying to replicate dook’s salt soap. I just love it. She uses...

Does anyone have a recipe or recommendations for a coconut oil/shea butter only bar? I’m trying to replicate this but don’t have specifics when it comes to percentages/SF. Thanks in advance! sodium cocoate (saponified coconut oil), sodium sheabutterate (saponified shea butter), sodium chloride...

Thanks! I’ll let you know!

My question about obsidian using natural ingredients was sort of an inverse question meaning, I’m sure obsidian uses some natural ingredients as well. Some people work exclusively with the most natural ingredients they can find and for others it’s not a priority. Sorry if it came across as...

Oh just the normal engagement and wedding band. My engagement ring is a band with diamonds, not a solitaire, so I think that why I say rings plural. It’s a wider band as well which makes for lots of room for irritated, itchy skin. Ugh. I think I’m gonna try painting clear nail polish on the...

Oh no! I hope that’s not what’s happening to me! I’m now allergic to my wedding rings!!!

Patchouli is definitely my favorite too!
