    Formulating melt and pour recipes

    Bear in mind that I'm not an MP guru lol. The typical guideline for adding oils or butters is 1 top - 1 tbsp per pound of base. Anything much over that, as you've seen, can really cut down the lather. Once you've cut the lather, the only remedy is to add more base to bring the butter/oil amount...

    Rave reviews of this soap on amazon...why?

    That soap would actually be qualified as a drug by the FDA as they are making several medial claims about the ingredients used. It can't legally be sold. However, the ingredients read as if it's nothing more than SFIC glycerin soap, perhaps with a few additives.

    Sodium citrate from baking soda and citric acid

    Making Aloe Vera Oil?

    According to WSP's website, their aloe vera oil is mineral oil, coconut oil, and aloe extract. Can I make my own by mixing aloe powder with a liquid oil?

    Help formulating a conditioner

    Ok, this is going to sound weird, but my hair absolutely LOVES my bath bombs.. it's always so soft and shiny after using one. I want to try and make a conditioner that it will hopefully like just as much, but I'm not sure if any of the non-oil ingredients are beneficial to hair as well. My bath...

    A young couple at my church woke up to a living nightmare Saturday morning to discover that their 20 month old son had passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. Please keep this family in your thoughts as their lives have been forever changed.

    Where to cure HP scented soaps?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this the batch you used 2 oz of FO in a 2 lb batch? If you don't like strong scents, I would personally unmold it and chop or shred it up, mix up another batch of soap and leave it unscented, then add in this batch and cook them together. It's called rebatching...

    How much "Oatmeal, milk, & honey" FO to add?

    I'd ask them for a copy of the IFRA datasheet, not their own opinion. Typos happen as do misinformed comments
