After saponification? Meaning after trace? I have not...Im using Brambleberry FO says no discoloration. I also tried using Dewy Rose and Lily of the Valley all saying no discoloration... I thought maybe the first couple tries I didn't put enough mica, so the last one I doubled the amount and it...

My friend ordered soaps for a bridal shower and wanted them to be light blue. I’ve made light blue before but I can’t seem to get the color blue now! First recipe attempted 3x with slightly different methods, I changed my Olive oil to light olive oil, I added TD to my oils, changed the type of...

Thanks! I don’t use lard in my soaps but ty for the input.

What is your channel so I can follow?! Also, I'd love to see more all natural recipes and tutorials on natural colorants, oil infusions.

Hello fellow soapers I am trying to formulate a recipe for my grandparents. Here is what I'm thinking for ingredients: Palm 40% Cocoa butter 25% Olive 20% Coconut oil 10% Castor 5% SF 5% LC 33% I was going to add coconut milk for half my water content. No fragrance. Also was thinking of adding...

Good to know! I tried it once and I think I remember overall it went well, but had to soap at a higher temp? I like soaping around room temp, which is usually around 80F where I live. I may give it a try again.

Thank you so much. This makes a lot of sense! ❤️

Wouldnt this be a soft over drying bar? Do you superfat? A little late to this thread, but ive been wanting to make a harder bar with no palm and no animal fats. I’ve tried in the past but the bars still were too soft. Any suggestion? I was thinking maybe up the coconut oil and superfat…use...

ah I see. DARN. Thank you! What about laundry soap? Is that an option for it?

Ahh thank you. Yes I wasn't sure the amount of NaoH needed for my oils. Yes the confetti soap was an idea I also had :) As long as its safe to use! I appreciate you <3

I made a batch of soap just now for my sisters baby shower...but I'm pretty sure its not going to make it there. I noticed the batter getting REALLY thick so my plans for a nice in the pot swirl went out the window right away. I didn't even get to add my fragrance oil...I went back to look at my...

Thank you so much!

Haven’t posted here in a few but wanted to share one of my recent batches. Pumpkin spice swirl cake. I hope everyone is doing well. I love reading all your experiences and journeys with soap making ♥️

Im on the soda ash struggle as well. I usually do not get ash if I pour at a thicker trace, but I notice I get it more when Im trying to do swirls or some design that requires a lighter trace. Today I unmolded and cut my lavender bar and had quite a lot of ash, im thinking due to light trace...

This is goals!! Nice nice job

Just wondering what is the main reason to have it cure longer? I’ve asked other salt bar makers how long they cure their bars for, and they said 4-6 weeks.

Love them all!! 🥰 Do you sell them??

Hmm.. if it’s still warm I’d wait. What is your recipe? I usually wait minimum of 24 hours before unmolding, and then maybe even 1-3 days to cut depending on my recipe etc…

No worries! It’s relatable to the topic, I don’t mind ❤️😊

Thank you! Oh wow it came out beautifully! I love patchouli!
