Chocolate Chip??!!

What is it doing that makes you think it is reactive?

I add my powdered goat milk directly to my oils. Works every time.

Welcome aboard! so much to learn and you have come to the right place for that!

Welcome! You are in for a great “ride”!

When using Soapcalc, I don’’t put in percentages for my lye/water; I enter the ration of water to lye (i.e. 1.7:1). I understand that way better and it works for me.

All of the above except #4. I enjoy also making other body products; I love to cook; we do Renaissance festivals and so I make our costumes for that. I also make clothing for me. I have a wonderful vegetable garden and can my produce. I simply love enjoying that there is so much to do in life...

I wonder if gold leaf could be used between layers (like a mica line) or would it cause the soap bars to separate (like when you use too much mica)? I see this conversation has somehow ended but am curious about this now.mOne thing Inlove about this forum is all of the interesting...

Ditto!

I had been making soap for “fun” for some time and then our son asked if I would want to do so to supply their business (they own the largest lavender farm in Missouri). I said “sure” thinking they would be selling a couple of dozen bars a week. Sold over 7000 bars last year! I love the process...

I had the same variant a few moths ago - 36 hours and done!

Like your space!! Please let us know how he peach soaps comes out. I made some recently and, initially, it smelled great but after two weeks, there was no scent at all. I need to know if it is possible to make a peach soap that retains fragrance. Thanks! Enjoy that new space - nothing better...

Interesting idea-will have to check it out,

I get mine from Workshop Heritage and love them.. They are wood with silicon inserts.

I use this. Hold it together with binder clips. I like that I have been able to cut it for 2/4/6/8 molds - acts as a little oven.

I use wooden molds with silicon liners and unmold after 12-24 hours with minimal problems. I cannot imagine having to wait three weeks to unmold however. Every once in a while, a corner “sticks” so I simply “mush it back on” and then smooth it out. Works well. I love my silicon liners and do...
