    I have a few issues...

    I make goats milk soap regularly. I only use fresh goats milk which I freeze myself and use as 100 % of the water. I add lye to a few cubes of frozen GM and stir until dissolved and alternate between lye and the frozen milk. This prevents it from burning the GM. I have also mixed the oils and...

    Can I salvage this mess?

    Can I salvage this mess?

I find it better to mix it with a little water or glycerine first if you are using a powder because it can become messy. IMHO for the small batch you are doing I would use...

    Kelp soap

    Hi Uzmatq. I have made HP kelp soap, also a mixture of kelp and spirulina. It makes a lovely bar of soap. I used about 1 tsp per lb of oils. I mixed it with a little glycerine to moisten it and added it after the cook. Let the batch cool down a little then stir it in well. I did not notice any...

    Hi from South Africa

    Hi and welcome Gypsybaron. I am also from South Africa. I have a recipe that does not include SLES or Glycol, but rather a more natural base and glycerine if you are interested. It is HP method and did not colour yellow when I made it.
