Good morning everyone! I just received a large variety of mica from dibbledabblediy.com and am wondering what everyone does to keep the color vibrant during cp soap making. I have seen quite a few posts on google about the color morphing. I have used midnight blue from bramble berry that turned...
same here
I think it is beautiful
I received half of a 75 lb batch of beef fat and have been chopping it up all day. I'm in full blown whining mode because my shoulder now hurts lol. However the gin and tonic is helping. It would be better if I had a claw foot tub to sink up to my chin in...
lol, I make tons of soap because I'm friends with a butcher. He gets 6 to 12 bars each time he gives me a 50 lb box of pig or beef fat. I just like doing it
plus giving it away has gotten me a few perfect recipes judging from replies
will rebatching result in a soft soap that washes away quickly though
I did mold it, and to look at it and feel it, it looks right. I've decorated it and everything. Grrrr. I just want to throw it away

My family has been laughing at me because when I get bored I soap of course! I have my little town of 5000 people covered for soap, laundry soap, dish soap, and shampoo bars lol. We have plenty of food as well. Stay healthy
Hi
I'm new here as well, (I've been a lurker for a while though)
I don't mind giving you my recipe and I absolutely love it. It is a super hard bar, cures very quick, has nice bubbles and makes me squeaky clean. I used 45 % lard, I rendered it myself though so the stuff at the store sometimes is...
I tried soapCalc but couldn't figure it out. I'll try it again tomorrow when Im not tired. I used majestic mountain sage's lye calculator. I will try the other soap calculators as well and see what the difference is. I did dilute some of the paste and it is clear, not separating, and cleans...
Looking at the printed recipe there is actually no olive oil in it, sorry about that. There is 1592 grams of lard and 756 grams of coconut oil. 504.85 grams of potassium hydroxide, and 587 grams of water
my superfat was 0 since it was for cleaning and not for the skin, however I did add a fragrance oil since my husband doesn't like the smell of regular soap lol
Hello everyone,
I need some feedback on liquid soap paste. I made mine strictly for cleaning the house and laundry NOT skin. I made it from 50% lard, 30% coconut oil and 20 %olive oil. Its in my crock pot. I just got it hot again because it cooked from 4 pm to 8 pm and totally stopped changing...
