I LOVE castor oil as well! I’m going to say this and probably get beat up but...... I use 10% n all my soaps. There, I said it. There is another really cool thing about castor oil besides soap, scalp treatments, (yes, it makes your scalp so clean that your hair is so bouncy and clean!) Edgar...

Brambleberry by far is the best! (My opinion)

I can barely wait for 24 hours to cut soap, I could never wait a month! 🤣

I made face bars with triple butters, triple milks and basically every additive I could throw in! The pink ones are rice milk and vegan. Essential oil blends, smells so good! My whole house smells like them! .

Oregon Trails has some of the best fragrance oils! She has some Hawaiian floral scents that are to die for, as well as earthy/incense type scents that I love.

Oregon Trails makes some awesome tropical scents. Their Caribbean Pineapple is so delicious! Fiji Passionfruit is really good too.

Can you tell me who NDA is? Thanks. There was a thread on FB talking about dark patchouli and buying it at NDA. I need to know what supplier this is.

What type of cutter do I need to cut a 2lb loaf for Taiwan swirl?

I’ve read that a lot of soapers like to mix their F/O and essential oils with kaolin clay. Like they’re “steeping” or “anchoring” with the clay. I’ve been wanting to try this as well. I’m a bit of a “fragrance girl” myself. I always use Kaolin clay in every batch of soap I make to anchor scent...

I’m right next to Trabuco high so seriously down the street! I’ve done 20-30%. Maybe lard is just not for me? 🤣

Am I the only one who has a hard time with lard? It always seems to make my soap really soft and I get extreme soda ash. I guess I have to try it again but that’s been my experience. I have a vegetarian family so I get flack for using animal products. What am I missing? I don’t do plain soap, I...

I’ve never “glued” enbeds into a bar of soap before, but sometimes things don’t go according to plan🤣 We’ll see if this works. This is Raw Honeycomb from brambleberry with beeswax, honey and buttermilk and let me tell you it moved quickly!

Happy Valentine’s Soap💜💜💜 Aromatherapy Passion from NG. Love this smell. I only put it in the bottom of the soap cause it turns dark but next time I will put a little fragrance oil in my enbeds. That way you can smell it more from the top. Little things we learn.

I posted this on my FB page! So good 😊

. By longevity, do you mean hardness? Because I think some people want to make a conditioning/creamy soap. I personally make soaps that are way more soft than Katie’s recipe but I’m creating those for a particular group of people. I like harder bars for men. Also, if you’re selling it’s not a...

Katie Carson has her recipe available online and it’s perfect for an intricate design. It’s 40% olive oil. That’s the recipe I use when I have 6 colors.

My favorite BB fragrances are Black Amber and Lavender Deep Violet Birch wood Oud Kentucky Bourbon Scotch Whiskey Rum Woods Oatmeal Milk and Honey I think all of her FO’s need a higher rate in CP soap, they’re very subtle

I love earthy, sensual scents like amber, patchouli, francinsense, myrrh. I like sweeter scents as well. My least favorite are “clean” scents but I know a lot of people really like that.

Soapers Choice is my favorite!

Adding orange peel powder and kaolin clay to my orange essential oil soaps work really well. I use brambleberry 10x orange and nature’s garden 5x mid season orange.
