    If oil will be absorbed into the soap, would glycerin?

    I've done that TEG, and it works very well. That's why I wondered if it could be used for a swirl on top, like some do with micas and oils. But I think it may just float on top, having considered what was commented earlier. Would hate to waste the effort on it if it's most likely not going to...

    If oil will be absorbed into the soap, would glycerin?

    Oh. Hmmmm. I must rethink my idea now LOL

    If oil will be absorbed into the soap, would glycerin?

    I was playing with an idea in my head and I'm curious about the way things are absorbed into the soap as it sets up (after pouring, but before unmolding and cutting). I know that if you grease the sides of your molds with any fat (Pam, oil, lard, etc) it will be saponified and sort of glue your...

    Has anyone else read this article?

    It's incredibly disappointing to see so much evidence of people's lack of integrity and professionalism, and so much evidence of their blatant greed. My kids have been teasing me for years about my "hippie" mindset, and how I should go live in a commune LOL. According to them, I'm better suited...

    Has anyone else read this article?

    He states in the article (which was published just a few days ago) that he's had a bad past and that he straightened his life out, went to school, has a family now, etc. Personally I don't think his past has diddly to do with what his current issue is. He feels he was defrauded and that he has...

    Snappy I know 3 people right off the top of my head that would go gaga for your neon pink bars because they adore neon pink. :)

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Oh man that stinks. I feel your pain. I live in a tiny apartment I share, and my stuff takes up the whole coat closet and has spread across every cabinet not already in use.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I'm low on most of my supplies so I can't make soap :( Instead I've been using working on making some boxes for my soaps. I love paper crafting, so it's quite relaxing to make them. They're not quite finished, but the final touches won't be added until I put actual soaps in them before I put...

    How strong is too strong? How fancy is too fancy?

    I love reading about what each person likes in their soap and how they define their ideal bar :)

    Why oh WHY???

    Ok I'll take some close up pics later so you can see and let me know if there's any issues. They have not separated, so that's good. I see no spots, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for, so who knows LOL. TY ladies :)

    "I will PAY you to teach me!"

    Exactly. I would happily share and help someone else learn if they're really interested in learning. But I've got no interest in going through the time and trouble to show someone who is just looking for a shortcut to understand just enough to be able to crank out soap to sell. There's way to...

    Vanilla Test Project

    Dixie if you go to the grocer and look where they have those spices in bags, usually Mexican supplier or name, they have dried vanilla bean pods, very cheap. And yes I cut them in half so there's a sealed end and an open end, and I stuff the open end in the orange. It really does smell so yummy :)
