Interesting, I noticed that when I use Lavender eo, I get dos more. I have had a few on my AC soap; but lavender is the worse. I also use kaolin clay; about a tsp/53 oz of oil, I started doing this a while ago and that's when I noticed the oranges spots. Will do a test batch with no kaolin and...

Two oils I use is grapeseed and soybean oils. Just recently I started using sunflower oil. I know this is a crazy thought, but, can soap ash be a part of dos? I just have to ask.

This is an over zealous soap maker. When I describe my soaps, I am there too. My is the best. My eo's are better because I pay more. I don't use cheap bulk herbs......now what would happen if I didn't do that? Not all soap is created equal. Some are better then others. Dove is the best to...

I was wondering if there is a reason for DOS. I have heard all kinds of opinions, but what are they? A reaction of some kind? :-?

I think that this soap is not one that I would have on my table to sell. It would be my luck to have a smoker come over and take a whiff of that type of soap.

For blue I use indigo, I get it from here: http://www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/natural-dyes-from-plants-and-insects.html?lnav=dyes.html When I make blue soap, any left over blue, I put in a bottle and add it to my whites, its great for whites. Sparingly.

Where is a good place to get mica? Are micas natural? I have real sensitive skin and a lot of stuff makes it itchy.:-?

That's good, out of the box thinking.

how did the soap feel? Did it make a difference?

Last year I had flowers that dropped bee pollen and i kept the pretty yellow pollen. I was wondering if any soaper has use bee pollen in soap?

I am getting into making LS your post will be helpful. Thank you. I have made only one batch, from that batch, I am hook!

That is pretty, how did the bars turn out?

This is the indigo blue color, the others got DOS, and I don't know why. Not bad, but I can see those little devils. And then there are those drag marks.

The swirl is cacoa powder, cocoa is the same thing. I tried to use indigo blue, and it was ok, but I like the brown better with a r:)ed wine. I think a white wine would do better. Next time.:)

yes, lather is white.

These pictures are not really my best. I used a 50% clove eo blend, making my stearic on the first and the second picture it began to seize up before I even added the wine. It would be a failure if I don't look will the experience. I have redone my 50%clove eo blended to 10%. Haven't made soap...

Why do you hydrate the AC? Does it help in some why?

I would not use it on certain openings....get my whiff? IMO.

This is a first all the way around. I have never had them, I knew that my oils were cold, didn't believe it mattered. Will be watching for that.
