    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Strange Outcome in CP soap loafs

    Yeah I see the rivers and I've actually come to like them. :) The second looks like TD separation. I'm on my phone so it's not real clear but looks like it's pools of white circles.

    My bug soap

    Have you ordered many EO blends from them? Their prices are crazy low for chamomile, roman and german blend so makes me wonder on quality. I normally pay at least double but I don't care for EO from places like WSP or BB and prefer Ananda or Mountain Rose. Their single EO are on par with...

    Calendula Dream!! Getting back in the groove

    Beautiful!! And caledula is my absolute fav herb to work with in soap and other products. The scent IMO is amazing, especially with infusions. I can only imagine how yummy yours smell with added powder.

    any advice on what may have gone wrong

    The water seems right for 38% which is normal and shouldn't make it unusually soft. I too now like 2 to 1 when not doing intricate designs, but for more Time to work I like 38%. How long did u let it sit? Did it gel?

    Tell me about Salt bars...why great?

    Yes I love them and enjoy making them also but only in trays with my cut outs, so I don't have to cut and can wait until hours later to take them out. I do similar to Obsidian with around 80% CO but sometimes lower (70%) if I am using a butter also. And I like to use part dendritic salt with...

    Any suggestions on this recipe?

    Yeah I'm one of those who can smell it even with just 20% in there. But my sniffer is super sensitive and picky. lol I can smell 'off' things in fragrance oils many times when family or friends cannot. Has anyone use deodorized lard?

    Not_ally - I tried a bunch also and have used only NG coconut creme for the last 2 years. I actually like the scent and it sticks pretty well for a coconut scent which is typically not all that strong.

    Struggling with colorants

    Yeah I have had this happen a lot while testing out different places and you would be shocked to see how much left over I now have and won't use. Once I found Nurtures I haven't even tried others. I've never had problems with theirs and their guidelines are pretty on par from my experience.

    God Awful service from Oregon Trails

    Duh.. Thanks Not_ally.. not sure how I didn't figure that out after I posted about BA. lol And Jana - my bad was quite a while ago and believe they were still kinda new then but not positive.. I do know they had a LOT more when I looked back at them a few months ago and decided to try again. So...
