Old post but I wanted to say thanks for this! I’ve had nothing but bad luck mixing colors and then I learned that I should premix with a light oil ahead of time. Then I was curious on how to factor that into my calc.... then I just learned from this post that I don’t have to! lol Thanks @IrishLass

The beer & lye mixture was really dark and I thought that would carry over, but sadly it didn’t. The bottom half is just it’s natural colors. The top is mixed with a little bit of titanium dioxide. I still need to work on my color mixing, as some tiny bits of TD are still present.

I used a couple bottles of Guinness Extra Stout. Poured it into a jug and shook the crap out of it every time I walked past it. After 3 days it still seemed to foam up but I decided to proceed with it. I froze it then measured use in place of water. I did a large batch so I ended up adding a...

I will have to consult with the great Google on this. lol

Welcome! =)

What’s a dancing funnel? I rather like how your batch looks. It reminds me of a childhood candy my grandmother always had a stash of. If you had cut them up into small squares and wrapped them up in plastic, I’d probably eat a few! lol

It’s OO, CO, castor oil and shea butter. Oh and it has a fruity FO that I swear makes it smell like Hawaiian Punch (a popular drink in the US). After reading that a batch can be poured after emulsion, and not necessarily trace, I decided to try it out. Everything was great until I realized I...

Thank you all the responses! I don’t know why but I wasn’t able to access this thread until today, since I created it.

Looks amazing to me! Bottom line, if it works it works! =)

I use a cheese grater. The smallest. Then blast it with borax and washing soda in a blender and or food processor (I have both just for workshop projects).

Awesome haul! What questions did you have?

I’m not seeing a photo?!? The link takes me to another thread...

As some of you know, I’m fairly new to SMF and soaping in general. I learn fast and improvise even faster, but that doesn’t mean I’m a master at it, especially since I’m sure I haven’t even begun to pay my dues to the soap gods/goddesses. Up until now I’ve been embarrassed to post a lot of my...

I make powder laundry soap. Nothing fancy and mostly with scrap pieces of soap that I don’t use or give away.

Interesting! Now I want to try it. I already have washing soda for making homemade laundry soap. Now go get the other ingredients....

Was researching beer soap recipes and then stumbled upon this: lol The debate is never ending! But really, I’m over it. Moisturizing or not, I love making soap and don’t even really care if it’s moisturizing or not. In fact, I get severely grossed out at greasy, slimy or wet products on my...

THAT is exactly why I posted this thread topic. Almost all the physical books I’ve read on soaping mention “moisturizing” soaps. . . But, as seen here, there is no definitive proof of it being moisturizing, just lots of opinions and speculation based on other factors.

I’ve been thinking a lot about her act of kindness and how, given her circumstances, maybe she feels I was helping her more than she helped me. Promised myself to put her stuff to good use, in honor of her. I just recently went to the Winchester House. It’s an interesting tour but definitely...
