    Awapuhi Juice in Soap???

    Here is a thread about adding aloe vera juice. Most juices (except for those that are very acidic -- citrus for example) are added in the same way. I don't use many juices, so there may be others chiming in soon. https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/aloe-vera-juice.71617/

    Undesolved milk powder

    Next time try mixing your milk powder with a little water and then mix it into the oils. See if that makes any difference. Regardless, it's a nice speckled, "natural" look

    Hot process soap making - soap getting too thick/hard

    I don't do HP because I like to just mix it and pour it and walk away. However after reading HP posts on the forum this long, I have to agree with @DeeAnna -- I don't think you're supposed to stick blend that much, just at the beginning to make sure everything is combined. It's the heat that...

    Hot process soap making - soap getting too thick/hard

    I think I am misreading something. How are you stuck blending until there is no zap? With CP, it takes 24-48 hours at a minimum to get to no zap, right? And if it's HP, it gets too think to stick blend at some point, right? Which part am I confusing?

    Adding colloidal gold and silver (particles) to oils

    To tell the truth, I decided after I typed it that this conversation was not worth my time and effort, so I deleted what I posted. This is turning into a pointless conversation, in which you want to reject anything that is said to you and seem to just want to be thanked for taking the time to...

    Why do you like making soap?

    Every person will have a different experience. For some people, surfactants are more gentle and for some handmade soap is more gentle.

    Why do you like making soap?

    Maybe it is Google's fault, because it still doesn't make sense to me. 😁 Soap making makes more soap. Soap making doesn't use up soap. Do not be afraid to write in your own language here when you need to. We can use translate to figure it out on our end, too.

    Why do you like making soap?

    My soap isn't harsh by nature? I'm not sure what you mean. I don't think anyone would be addicted to making it if they weren't able to make a nice soap? Yes Yes Yes Not necessarily No In beginning Yes Uh, what? No

    Pumpkin embed molds???

    Why would that change when you are gifting it? Won't 3D printing result in a rigid mold? If so, how to you plan to get the soap out of the mold? Can't wait to see what you come up with!
