Maybe I've been too hard on her in my head. I suppose with it being a non life threatening allergy like your milk she probably would forget about it sometimes. If it was deadly I pray she would protect herself like my mango allergic nephew for her own sake.

You would think. My nephew is allergic to mango and he asks everyone when people make things or looks at ingredient lists if it has mango in it. He's 10. I felt pretty bad about it and apologized. She did it in front of alot of my coworkers and was making a big scene of it. Gut feeling was she...

Thank you for your non legal advice ;) The whole experience is a bit baffling to me. I think the situation would have been avoided with some common sense on both parts. I'm now moved to West Virginia and will need to look into any laws concerning making soap products. I don't sell soap but...

I don't know. I haven't researched anything but maybe the safe max amount of pine eo still couldn't cover up that 1% or so of pine tar odor enough to satisfy the masses. I figure most people are probably expecting it to smell like a Christmas tree. Some FO usage rates go way higher than EO and...

Thanks for the replies. I generally have ingredients listed luckily. The girl just gave me a heart attack lol For the future... I don't know in these sort of cases, since there was no purchase, if I could get in trouble if someone reacted to soap I've given them then they died from an allergic...

I couldn't pick up on any orange scent. The pine overpowers everything. And looking at the ingredients again, it says pine fragrance lol so probably not an eo or they would probably proudly state that since they are against "nasty synthetic" ingredients.

Hey soap makers, so I have been going nuts with soap making and now have accumulated a boat load of soap. I have started giving them away to friends and family. You know, here's some free soap, tell me about what you think of it so I can tweak the recipe sort of thing. I write the ingredients...

Hey there, I made a batch of pine tar soap not too long ago. Its literally in seconds from smooth to rock hard. I used activated charcoal in it to get to to a deep dark chocolate brown. Have some pics on that panic thread I made lol I purchased some of Dr. Squatch's soaps for my OH, which liked...

Kentucky bluegrass. I like how it pulled more blue. Very pretty

Thanks for all of your responses everyone! A lot to absorb here. For some reason, I was thinking it was a liquid solution verses powder. I'll have to see what the usage rate is powdered vs liquid version. Right now I'm using powdered sugar. Haven't been able to properly test it yet but would...

Shunt and cmzaha, do you two notice a difference in lather boosting capabilities comparing sorbitol vs powdered sugar? And second what Jersey said.

For those that use it in your soaps, where do you like to buy it from?

Love love love that design and the colors you chose. And the ash on the ears really add to it. One of my favorites from what I have seen from you so far.

Second what alioop said. To me mine is the stereotypical "beginner" themed soap that I wanted to check off. I think yours was creative and more original. I understand when you say its not how you envisioned it but its pretty how it turned out. Thanks for sharing it. 🤩

@tommysgirlo would be curious to see how it turned out if you wanted to post it :) it sounds like a cool concept especially with the mp and see through water.

Thanks. I love how the colors turned out. I have those pinks but haven't tried them yet. I'm still figuring how to calculate how much colorants. Some soaps I've made have colored lather too.

Pretty pinks. Which colors did you use?

Thank you for the reply. I used disstilled water as the liquid and I didn't use any additives in either batch. I hadn't considered that with the full fat milk, guess thats why some people strain their milk soltuion? I soaped at 120 for the castile and if I am remembering correctly 110 with...

So, made some castile soap in January. All olive oil, madder root to color it pink. Then a few months later I made another soap, used annatto seeds to infuse the oil to a cheddar cheese color lol They have deleoped these large white spots on them. They arent soft or smell bad. Just weird...

I haven't had luck with the frother either but I am also cheap and try to use as little oil to disperse it in so it kicks up up since it doesn't fully submerge. Not to hijack, but as anyone used this to attempt to make it finer and theoretically easier to mix?
