    Found a Moonworks FO's seller

    Thanks for the heads up I wasn't planning on using the trichomania in cp I didn't expect it to behave or stay true cuz of the coconut aspect. I think it will be perfect for condtioner and maybe some melts or lotion. When did you order the sultana? It looks like I am getting it and I ordered...

    Silk In Soap

    I think generally the controversy is because it is am animal product and therefore not vegan friendly. I also throught that the silk worms had to be killed or they would destroy the silk. What ever the controversy I still use it. I don't sell though so I only have my opinions to worry about...

    Dazed and confused

    Emulsified scrubs should stay firm and definitely not oily. I love love love them!

    Silk In Soap

    The amount will weigh less than a gram in most cases. For really large batches you might be able to weigh it. There is no percentage that I know of just a pinch. I don't think you can use too much. I just throw a pinch in every batch I don't think about the oils or anything else. I have used...

    Fhs?

    My scalp was itchy when I transitioned I had no fhs though. Give it some time. I would also suggest adding some dl panthanol to your conditioner you hair will thank you and you don't need much. You can also adjust the ph of your conditioner to avoid the step of the acid rinse. Good luck ☺

    how to slow down tracing!!

    I would say that is not the most accurate list but other than lard and castor for me it is ok. I think that there is really no way to avoid all thoses oils. It is still good info to keep in mind though thanks.

    how to slow down tracing!!

    You might have some luck with a 50:50 ratio. Also some of the other ideas too.

    Specialty Soap Bases (olive oil, shae butter, etc)

    I know it is frustrating to wait for the mail. If you want a good quality mp you really need to order online. I have yet to see anything worth buying in the hobby stores. I tried that brand once and I was not impressed. if you are in the us you can usually get your shipment within 4-8 days...

    A (Probably) Stupid Question

    I too have thought about this. I have made castile and let it sit for almost 2 years. I am just not a fan of castile. I don't get the hype honestly. I think some additives could make some big differences in the end. I think if I was selling I would be ethically ok with selling a castile with...

    NG Fresh Brewed Coffee "World's Best"

    I really like how this soap is turning out. The coffee scent is really there now. It is a really true coffee, no cream of sugar. I did mix it with the pumpkin spice so I don't know how it would be alone. I am going to try it soon. It might be worth getting a little to try.

    Cupcake bath bombs

    If you are considering melt and pour frosting what kind are you going with for you "natural" theme? What is your definition of natural? No synthetics parabens, etc? There is nothing wrong with having to add a preservative. There is nothing wrong with the mp either. I would prefer the...

    Total newbie - help

    I think the brambleberry calculator may be less confusing for some. Less options seems to flow a bit nicer for new soapers. Worth a try and soap cal is better than going off recipes.

    Share your favorite aromatherapy recipe!

    Strange smelling and medicinal are 2 different things to me. Quality definitely makes a difference for sure. I get my eos from nda. Anything from eucalyptus to clary sage to rosemary to lavender smells medicinal. Just my opinion.

    Share your favorite aromatherapy recipe!

    I find a lot of eos smell medicinal. This doesn't mean they are fake. There are some that just smell like that. Smell is also very subjective. All that said you can blend eos that have the medicinal quality with others to lessen the scent.

    Lye Solution Strength

    That is considered full water. If this is your first batch or you are still learning leave it until you get comfortable. After that you can use less which is known as a water discount. I would get confident in your soaping abilities before discounting.
