Has anyone purchased essential oil from Jade Bloom? I didn't find the name in a search of the forum.

Interesting process. The soap looks good and your house must smell like lemons on soap day.

Very interesting! Thanks for posting.

Wow, I read you can brush your teeth with soap. :rolling: I didn't know such a thing was possible so I did it. Yes, I brushed my teeth with my castile soap. It had no taste. Of course, I going to do more research but I really like the thought of it. Yes, I already read the post about it in the...

Instead of a whipped body butter, you can make a lotion or a heavy cream with a stick blender if you don't want to invest in another piece of equipment.

I made a whipped body butter for the first time yesterday. It wasn't hard at all. I used Sal butter instead of Shea or Coco butter. It wasn't greasy either but I need some moisture so I'm going to make a cream instead. And I decided to add grapeseed oil next time.

I checked on my curing soaps and some are "sweating" oil. I used a hardening liquid I concocted and those are the only ones affected. So now I need to investigate but I did read this is not so uncommon and that the soap should reabsorb the oil.

Hello!

Thanks for the encouragement. I have to say, I tested my first soap at the two week mark and it did feel better than the first day I tested it so now I have something to look forward to.

Would the soap bouncing in the dryer dent the soap?

My gripe today. Why does it take soap so long to cure! I have created at least six different batches of soaps with six different recipes. I cannot tell the true effectiveness of the soaps until they all cure. :) I only started making soap 2 weeks ago. :beatinghead:My mind cannot fathom a 6...

Yes, it's been down for several days. I had to recreate some of my soaps in Soapcalc.net.

Thank you all. I watched a few videos on felted soap making. Even though it doesn't look hard, it does seem time consuming. I may explore it someday in the future.

AH, okay. Thank you. Makes more sense.

Okay, I'm new to soapmaking. Can someone explain to me what a felted soap is? Why would anyone want material around their soap? Does the material dissolve in water or else how do you use the soap?

What is EDTA?

Congratulations everyone. All the soaps were wonderful.

Hello Deebra

Very pretty! Created a hardening liquid for my soap the other day and I used it in a batch I made yesterday. I unmolded the soap and it was much firmer than a soap I had curing. Some of the soaps I made last week are still very soft. So far so good. I also learned to water discount so that...

I like the SoapGal because she also discusses the business side of her soaping business.
