    How to melt beeswax?

    Microwave works good at 80% power. Get a pair of heavy duty Rubber Gloves to pour the hot Pyrex and to wash it while hot.

    Green Olive Oil Soap

    Given that some EVOO is actually cheaper oils colored with Chlorophyll, perhaps that is why their soap is green? But wouldn't Lye make the Chlorophyll turn brown? Roy

    Beer Question

    I like to use Dry Malt Extract, provides lot of protein and maltose. Good for soaps that are too slippery. Great label appeal! add Milk - "Malted Goat Milk Soap" Just dissolve in some warm water and add at trace. for related posts click here

    Possibly the Olive Oil is actually mostly Soybean. Distilled water, Citric acid and ROE is what works for me.
