Sure! I use 2% ppo. So for my 1 lb mold (which does hold more than 1 lb, and I like a little extra to pour into a round individual mold for testing), I use 18 oz of oils. So 2% of that, I use .36 oz of sodium citrate dissolved in my water before adding lye to it.

I'm so sorry. I feel awful because you helped me so much this month. I wish I could help, and if there is anything you think I might be able to do to help please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you. I'll be fine. I'll live LOL. My follow-up visit a week from Wednesday, and then my first physical therapy is Thursday the 9th. I get to enjoy that for six weeks in a weird brace. Joy, Happy Thanksgiving yay (jk). One of these days I will have the most awesome October and will bring...

I use 5 to 7% Castor. It doesn't seem to add anything to the mix for me, except to stabilize the lather that I have from the other ingredients.

5 people haven't voted. If you happen across the Forum please vote and I will announce the winners tomorrow afternoon/evening. Thank you to everyone for bearing with me this month. Unfortunately October has turned into one of the worst months for the last few years. It was always my favorite...

Hey caribou. I just wanted to let you know I emailed saponista to make sure she uses the Roses picture ( in case she didn't see your post). For an update my surgery was Tuesday. I felt really good Tuesday night and Wednesday morning because they gave me a nerve block and my arm was numb for a...

Ok, I was not able to delete my post, but I was able to edit it still. I am so sorry for the confusion everyone. You do still have until midnight tonight. I love the Soaps that are up so far everyone!

Gah, you're right!! Sorry, I haven't slept well the last two nights. I was quite confused this morning thinking it ended today. I will try to rectify it immediately, thank you so much caribou!!

You have until midnight central time tonight. Ignore the previous message that was here. I'm sorry.

Saponista is helping me upload the photographs to the survey. She should be able to turn it around on her computer before she uploads it if you can't get it to work.

Technically you cannot make soap more moisturizing, you can just make it less stripping. You have 22% of stripping oils in there. It might just be too high for you. I would reduce it down to 18%. A higher super fat doesn't necessarily make it better 4 dry skin. I actually make mine with 2% super...

If anyone signed up didn't receive the password in their inbox, let me know. Thx!!
