Use skewers and make sure your soap is thick and cool.

You are right about anchoring the Essential Oils- citrus ones are the common faders. I use a 15x orange and don't need to anchor it. Just make sure you use enough to begin with. Fragrance oils stick better, IMHO. Very few in my experience need anchoring. But I have come across a few that did...

I didn't see that soap but what I do when I want to adhere something to a bar of soap- you drip a little hot (not too hot) soap on the part where you want to stick the embed and put the embed right on top and press down- I usually hold for a few seconds as well to make sure it stays put. HTH

Not really. My daughter has a compromised immune system since she is a Type 1 Diabetic. Her healing process is slow and she has an insulin pump. We wash her sites with anti bac soap and they heal faster and we haven't had any infections since we started using it, before we had a few. It all...

But it is someone's choice to use them. My doctors rarely prescribe antibiotics anymore unless cases are extreme which is good I think.

Same here.

That is exactly how we came up with the name. My daughter was 8 at the time and she reeked the car up after a dance class. I was taking Yoga too so I'm sure I did help. LOL

LOL- thanks! I hope it gave you a chuckle. :clap:

Ok, what is the deal with Aleppo Soap? Apparently there is a huge draw for this but what makes it so special? Castile with Bay Laurel made in Syria- got it- but has anyone ever used it and is it nice? I'm just trying to figure out what the draw is. French soap as well- every French soap I have...

Yes!!! Amen Sister! FYI- I rent out my grandma if anyone wants to learn to make soap the old fashioned way. :)

No, Triclosan wasn't connected to super bugs. That was caused by doc's over prescribing antibiotics for conditions that we now know (thanks to our former health care system) don't need antibiotic treatment such as ear infections in people over 9 and sinus infections when caught early and treated...

I think the government should stay out of it, honestly. In health care, it is a necessity and has been used since 1970. Our sanitizer also has alcohol and triclosan and now our gloves are coated in Triclosan. I use Dial Body Wash on my itchy back- nobody seems to know why the heck it is itchy-...

Welcome to the forum and soap making...the addiction goes away soon enough, then it's work. :-)

BC has great Vanilla Stabilizer- I have been using it for years.

This exactly! But there are CP soapers who are IMHO not good at their craft and not confident in their product so they have to put down MP, HP and anything else that is not CP. I make HP and MP soap but I started with CP and to me, CP soap is not strong enough in scent for me or my customers-...

Oh I remember that. I never did the tooth soap thing but I remember when that was going around. The woman who was trying to enforce soap loaf was not right. She sent me messages that just weren't correct. I lost sales on Ebay because of her since I had an ongoing 3 week thing between Ebay and...

I love these..I'm a huge fish fan too. :) Nice work!

Ok to hijack this...LOL. I sell on a few different sites and I small batch soap so I do the 1-3 on Etsy. I just don't know how a soap will sell and I balance between 3 sites. If I was only on Etsy- I would definitely put in more than 1-3. Back in the old days of Etsy, they used to charge for...

Interesting- I will be watching this thread. I'm curious about it.
