Please fix your post above. When you quoted me, you somehow added a sentence about contacting Mercari, which I did not type. Thank you. As for a good sweet tea fragrance: I haven't found one yet, but I haven't really gone looking too hard either. It sorta got pushed to the back burner as I've...

What kind of swirl is that? And how do I copy it? That's beautiful! Lately, I keep seeing different swirls that I love but have no idea the name of them so I can look up the how-to's.

I put labels on a soapbox to see what it will look like. It's certainly not what I had envisioned and I'm not impressed with these labels at all. The kraft brown labels don't stick well to the boxes and are lighter colored than the kraft boxes. I didn't think that would make much difference, but...

Welcome aboard! I'm sorry I can't be much help because I don't use the HP method, but from just looking over your recipe: You're recipe is 95% hard oils, so I don't think you need 4 different salts. That can set up soap batter pretty quickly, or at least it does in CP. Also, if birch tar is...

I may do that just because it'll make my ingredients list stay on 3 lines at the same font as my other recipes/labels. Although, I was very specific with my palm in another recipe. I literally put "RSPO certified palm oil" even though no one I've ever given soap to has a clue what those letters...

How do you choose to list your high oleic sunflower oil on your labels? Do you specify high oleic sunflower oil or just sunflower oil for the sake of simplicity?

My soap boxes AND labels arrived in the mail yesterday! I'm soooo excited, even if all I can do is print the labels right now because all the soaps are still curing. 🤣

Did you try using mineral spirits? Oops, I just noticed you already gave it to Sting.

Those are beautiful!

Can't wait to see the cut! Replacement stickblender? Which kind did you get this time?

I look at soaps in the stores whenever I have time while grocery shopping and such. I like to get ideas on labeling and scents. I do not, however, buy or bother testing any of them. I make my own soap and get feedback on what friends and family like/dislike and make adjustments accordingly. For...

Would you make a video of yourself making one of these deep space soaps just so I can watch the process? They always look soooo amazing!

I'm definitely overthinking it, no question. I'll label brewed coffee in the one that has coffee as the full liquid replacement. The other will have brewed coffee and distilled water as separate ingredients just because I already have the amounts I used written down so there really isn't a...

I have 2 different soap batches with brewed coffee. One batch has 100% brewed coffee as the liquid, but the other batch only has brewed coffee as 3/4 of the total liquid. I used 4 separate lye solutions so I guess I could list the brewed coffee and distilled water as separate ingredients since I...

You only got a partial gel, too?! I've never seen pine tar not gel before. I didn't even know that was possible.

I used brewed coffee as an ingredient to color some sections of a batch of soap. I know to separate it into two ingredients (water and coffee), but where do I list the coffee? Before or after the other colorants (cocoa powder and activated charcoal)?

If you're using the Auson brand, no worries about the smell coming through. The smell is plenty strong. DH kept walking around the house asking which neighbor was burning leaves until I had him smell the pine tar soap. DH promptly confiscated the batch and ran it out to the garage to cure once...

I see panda bears

I ordered some Crafters Choice kraft boxes with the rectangle open window cutout on front. I have labels on the way from OnlineLabels.com that match up to Avery templates I'm just putting the finishing touches on so they'll be ready to print when the labels arrive.

Just keep an eye out for mold. I never keep simple syrups for more than a couple weeks (refrigerated) because there is the potential for mold to grow.
