I just started gluten free and already see my skin clearing. I’m not completely dairy free but have cut way back on dairy. @MelissaG if you aren’t set on making your own, you may want to try a Ceravie cleanser. I was making my own and tried several formulations, including soap, but was unhappy...

I read (somewhere) to use 1TB powder ppo but like weighing as it seems easier to scale. Last month I made 3 batches, one with goat milk powder, one with coconut milk powder and one with colloidal oats. Waiting for them to cure so I can have my testers review them. I am also curious to know what...

Also cheering you on! I love the idea of putting the couch on buckets to make it easier to reach. Many years ago I tried sewing piping on pillows. I scrapped that idea and just did regular seams. They turned out pretty well and I don’t regret leaving out the piping. Hope you feel the same about...

Welcome!

Thanks @AliOop and @Misschief it really is validating. I love my soap and friends do too but that random text from my niece meant a lot. I really do credit this group for much of my success. ❤️

Hello all! I just had to share that I was texting with my niece this past weekend. She lives about 8 hours away so I don’t get to see her and the rest of my family too often. Her parents visited recently and I sent an assortment of soap home for everyone. My niece often buys soap from other...

Welcome!

Yay! I am so glad to hear this.

Welcome!

You are welcome! I just noticed I misspoke above, I use 35% lye concentration. Not water as percent of oils. Did you rebatch? How did it go?

Hopefully you will get an appropriate response from the owner since management failed to do so.

Maybe someone who has tried this will see the post and reply but sassikat hasn’t been here since October 2020. I’m also a horse girl and hopefully at the end of shedding season. I’m looking at my leggings, which are covered in cat hair, and thinking maybe cat hair would be better as it’s much...

So happy to hear this! ❤️ Glad things are “moving” on the right direction. (See what I did there?). 😉

I have been there with the photography! Keep at it and it will get easier.

I just saw the crow- so cool!!! Really beautiful soap.

Thank you for posting your recipe, it helps a lot when troubleshooting. The first thing I see that could affect the softness of your soap is that your water as a percent of oils is 38% which is quite high. I typically use 32%. That wouldn’t affect the usefulness of your soap but it may take a...

What a great challenge! Everyone’s entries and the non entries, were beautiful. Thanks @AliOop for a great challenge!

There are several posts here that have excellent suggestions for improving photography, with many ideas that are very economical. We have some very talented photographers that are super helpful. Your soap is beautiful.

I used to enjoy shopping on Etsy but now it feels more like Amazon. It’s really time consuming to sift through the mass produced stuff and figure out what is actually handmade.

Genus, definitely not, I’m sure I got the idea from someone on here. Enabler??? Definitely! 😂 Hope you had a great visit with your friend. Give it at least 24 hours or more to make a decision.
