I have been using the no stir palm from WSP and I don't have issues with stearic spots. I usually soap between 80-100 degrees. I love not having to melt and stir.

Congratulations szaza! Your soaps were amazing. This was a very tough challenge congrats to the winners and everyone who entered. Earlene go easier on us next time ;)

I buy the aloe vera juice from Walmart and use it 100% in my lye solution.

I have added ground vanilla pods and it is a very light exfoliate.

I will break the ice and for better or worse I am submitting my entry. I kept it fairly simple and poured three colors for an hombre purple. I wanted to use a lilac FO I knew accelerated so I figured this would be a good opportunity. I cut each color into three bars. For the first set of...

I am a fan of embrace the brown! I do use micas but sometimes just embracing the brown is cool too. I attached 3 photos of the same batch when I left part if the batter I FO free.

I actually did wrap it in plastic to try to smoosh it. I did three that way and the one I left for about 40 minutes did stick. One out of three is better than I hoped.

I was already making MP, scrubs and lotion bars so I had the basics but once I started it became an addiction. I am never one to go halfway in on something so I kept buying stuff to try this and that. I am a hobbyist and I am sending my son home this weekend with a box of soap for his...

I have boxes of soap curls from planing soap. After seeing how well the confetti drop swirl worked I may use some more of them.

If you like brights you might like the epic collection from Nurture.

I use powdered buttermilk added to the oils and you don't need to add extra sugar. The soap will probably heat up so watch for cracking. I usually use sodium lactate too.

So my design (LOL) is really simple and it may have stuck. I am too afraid to handle it! I am letting it sit for a couple of days then I will clean it up and see if it was a success. The planed scraps were like soap dough and mushed them all together for a lovely soap ball. Anyone old...

I have been making soap for one year now and have spent at least a couple of thousand dollars in equipment FO, mica and supplies. I have tried so many different formulas and have finally found a couple I love. I found the following very helpful in making up recipes to try...

I made the soap today, in the afternoon, and don't have time to do anything else until tomorrow. I am hoping to get at least one bar. Next month I think we should do a Clyde cylindrical pour............I am good at that one, LOL.

On the bright side, the pink is really pretty.

Did they at least stick? I am hoping for a gorilla glue bond

These are a couple I have done. One is chunks from trying to cut straight bars from a slab. The other is crumbled soap curls from planing soap

Where do you get beer powder? I have been boiling the beer from the basement fridge that was left over from a party last year!

I use shea, mango and cocoa butters all in solid form. I do 5% on each. My girlfriends love it as a facial bar.
