    Do FOs/EOs cut down lather from CP soaps?

    I've not noticed a difference in my soaps either. My scented and unscented lather the exact same with the same recipe.

    CPOP or naw?

    If it were me, Id make my first soap unscented...just to see how the soap itself comes together...I'd do that several times and get the hang of it before adding anything else..and then only 1 extra thing at a time....

    Customer Asking for Info about Allergic Reaction

    I agree with Dory, dont offer medical advice..just give her the ingredients in everything that went into the soap and direct her to her doctor. The thing with allergies, is that you can develop one overnight, even with things you have used all your life...and just as suddenly become 'not'...

    How do you make teas for soap?

    I do the same, I use well water and I make my teas, coffee's etc just how I would for drinking, only stronger, and I freeze any liquids I cant readily see thru.

    CPOP or naw?

    Technically speaking, you should be able to cut that recipe within 8-12 hrs, maybe even sooner..however depending on what FO's etc you add, you need to watch for overheating, such as cracks or oil droplets on the top.

    CPOP or naw?

    Im going to agree with others here...these soaps you are making now may be ok to use yourself, but not for selling..you wont know how these soaps turn out say in 3- 6 months in a customers hands..some people buy handmade soaps and sit on them awhile.. Most here, including me, would advise...

    Mica pencil line problem.

    Yup, that pencil line can be difficult to do. Have to get the amounts just right sometimes. I usually blow on mine after I get it sprinkled and followed sometimes with a few spritzes of alcohol.

    A few questions before I begin my 1ST ever batch!

    Ive seen multiple apologies in this forum from seasoned soapers where something was said but the intent was taken wrong by the newbies..had the OP not reacted with such arrogance, she wouldn't have been responded to by others in the manner she was... There are far too many newbies coming to...

    A few questions before I begin my 1ST ever batch!

    So good luck making your soap on 'better, more helpful' forums..dont say we didn't warn you about whats out there. And as for being up each others butts..nope, we arent..we just respect one another..my guess is you are either very young, or used to speaking to people the way you just did or...
