@CLMP heading to Amazon now to find silicone piping bags. I still have about 40 disposable bags.

I saw that 8 lbs of lard is $20 at Walmart. The regular great value olive oil is $16.16 for 101 ozs.

I buy my nitrile gloves from harbor freight. On August 18, 19, & 20 the 5 Mil powder-free gloves are $ 4.99 a box of 100. I have been paying $ 10 per box

Strawberry shortcake 🍰. That would be a neat soapy creation.

I'm sorry to hear that. It is tough to completely change his diet. Sugar seems to be in everything.

Blackberry Merlot Fizz Soap. First attempt doing the hanger swirl. The fo is rather strong. I need to finish beveling the rest of the cut bars and steam the soda ash from the tops.

Lard, pig fat, OMG it was once a live animal...lol. Now you are going to offend the animal rights groups. You're darned if you do, darned if you don't. Years ago I made a wonderful lard soap as lard was cheaper back in 2012 - 2013. But if the family decides to butcher hogs, I will gladly use the...

My Blackberry Merlot soap is in the mold. Tried a hanger swirl with this one. NG Blackberry Fizz fo. Burgundy, Flamingo, Copper, and Silver Ash mica. Got my fingers crossed for this one.

It was tough to decide as they are all so beautiful, with great stories to go with them as well. I am inspired to up my skills and practice new designs.

I have the day off, so I made some soap. Half my liquid was condensed goats milk. I mixed that into my oils. Heck of a lot easier than dealing with frozen goats milk. The fo is NG Sparkling Lavender Lemonade. I tried an ITP swirl. I think I would like to invest in a couple of those funnel spout...

Maybe they do that just in case the soap gets DOS in a couple months.

I doubt that people question if their french fries or doughnuts are fried in RSPO certified palm oils, or their cupcake frosting was made with palm shortening. Most don't even know. If your customers want RSPO certified then that's what you use.

This was a cool experiment. I used OO, CO, PO, and Castor Oil. No butters. Total oils 21 ozs. I used NG Coconut Lime Verbena fo. I used green, teal, dark green, blue, sky blue, sea blue, blue violet, and purple mica. I was trying to do a kaleidoscope swirl, but wasn't successful. The green mica...

@Zing Coffee and Goats Milk. Brewed and then simmered coffee until almost tar. Froze it. Froze the goats milk. Used half each for my lye liquid. Dried the coffee grinds in the oven then processed in the ninja. Only used 1 1/2 tablespoon. Used cocoa powder for the dark color added titanium...

I have found most of my soaping oils, like pomace olive oil and coconut oil at restaurant suppliers. You can buy 50 lbs of the stuff, usually the more you buy the bigger the discount. It took me a while, but I have found the palm oil as well. I had to do my research in their fryer oil section...

I am contemplating the purchase of a countertop water distiller. I don't need all these gallon plastic jugs to dispose of from purchasing distilled water. I use distilled water in my floor steamer, iron, handheld steamer, and for soap making. I was curious if anyone else has made this investment.

I'm tempted to just buy the 50 lb bucket of lye. I usually only buy 6 lb at a time, but I go thru it so fast.

Made this soap last week. NG fo Bayberry. Nice scent for a man. Used the rest of the frozen Guinness Stout for the lye liquid. I kind of thought it would make the bars darker. No colorant. I used sodium lactate since I was using cavity molds. I still should have waited a few more days to unmold...
