    Where did you learn to soap?

    The horned ones made me do it too!!! It all stared with I wonder if I can do this? I found this forum very early in my journey, and got a few books. I learned the most on this forum from @AliOop ( she doesn’t know it but I look to her as a mentor) @KiwiMoose and the Classic Bells website. Then I...

    Soy Wax Convert!

    Here’s the recipe I’ve been using, it’s a little “spendy” because I love the way cocoa butter and shea butter feels in my soaps. I got lucky and stocked up on cocoa butter right before it skyrocketed in price. I was thinking about swapping the cocoa for Kokum but I saw that went way up too...

    Why is this not zappy?

    💡!!!!! Hand stirring!!!! Sometimes I just don’t see the forest because of the trees!!!!! Little higher on the heat and hand stirring just might make this one work!

    Why is this not zappy?

    I do great with the soy wax in my other recipes, swirls and all, the lard just doesn’t want the play with the soy! I use soy instead of palm, or lard instead of palm. I’m thinking maybe lower the soy and upping the OO, but then it defeats trying to lower the cost of the olive. RBO is as...
