I sent my daughter a variety of soaps I made along with this one. Of course she ignored the use the unscented one first directions from Mom, and went for the one she thought smelled the best. She texted me “FYI, first time in a long time that I've taken a shower and didn't feel uncomfortable in...

It looks like it just needed some more time, when I just checked it it’s the right consistency and has lather…. Soap sure is weird! Crisis averted!

Thank you both, that makes perfect sense!!!!

Just want to preface this with I’m 100% aware that I’m no where near ready to start selling my soaps yet, I need at least another 8 months minimum experience. But, I do eventually want to do some local markets just for fun and hopefully get enough to repurchase materials to support my addiction...

I don’t have a foamer bottle…if I buy store bought foamer soap can I dump the soap and use the bottle?

I tried the LS recipe that @IrishLass shared using glycerin. I misunderstood the KoH dilution, I dissolved the KoH in the same amount of distilled water, and added the glycerin as the amount of liquid shown. I got stubborn about seeing the “flying bubbles” and forgot that I didn’t need to blend...

Just WOW! 🤩

I was just kidding, I grew up in a Harley family, they all have Hondas and Yamahas now.

Holy moly that stuff is amazing!!! I am so in love with this stuff🥰, definitely made a big difference. I stumbled on a post about this magical ingredient ( Thank you @KiwiMoose & @Mobjack Bay for all you words of wisdom and how to add it to the soapcalc) This and sorbitol got me to my perfect to...

Welcome!!!🤗

Is there any other kind or motorcycle?

I don’t know if your using coconut oil in your recipe, after getting a ton of advise, it is recommended to keep that at 20% or lower, some skin can tolerate higher. Personally I can’t without feeling that tight dry feeling.

Hi and welcome!!!!

I’m really in love with my lard soaps, I replace the palm with the lard, and keep the super fat at 2-3%.

I’m by no means an expert, but I use 10% shea in my recipe, and jeep to the 40/60 ish ratio of hard to liquid oils. I use the 33% lye that alioop recommended to me. I like to soap at a range of 100 - 105. I get a nice fluid batter. I’ve never used the soy wax, so I don’t know how that can come...

Have you tried using lard?

Thank you! It never occurred to me to replace a softer solid oil with a harder solid oil🤦‍♀️ I didn’t like that it was harder to rub on my skin than I thought it would be so I was going to lower the exfoliants a tad. I used Jasmine rice, red beans from Walmart and eyeballed the almond flour...

Thank you! Now off to try to save up my pennys😂

@AliOop can I pick your brain please? I just made the Lush Buffy bar dupe and was looking at the body butter bar from Whole Elise. Do you think swapping kokum butter for the cocoa butter in the Buffy dupe would make it last longer? I love it, but I can’t justify the cost vs longevity. For the...

That is remarkable!!!! I dabble with sewing when the motivation hit every couple years, I can’t imagine taking on a project like this!
