I haven’t figured it out!

@AliOop thanks for sharing your experience. I’d never had the same issues with the pomace brand I used previously. The big Costco 20 litre box seemed like a promising way to keep some of the rising costs at bay; I guess maybe it was too good to be true. I tried another recipe today with 25%...

Baaaah Humbug! Has anyone else had an almost instant pudding-like trace when using OO Pomace to make the Bastile version (85 OO, 10 CO, 5 castor) of Zany’s no slime Castile soap? I’ve used this recipe a number of times with OO - this was my first go with a recent purchase of 90%pomace/10%EVOO. I...

Thank you,@QuasiQuadrant!

@KiwiMoose im not a botanist so I can’t say for sure - but the plants were labeled aloe vera and the look like what I understand AV to look like! I scoop the gel out, leaving the green outer layer for the compost, and blend the gel. It stays goopy. 🤷 I guess I thought that was normal! I have...

@Vicki C i LOVE your monarch soap - recognize it from last month’s challenge. One of my faves! 👏👏👏

@Michael Ritchie hello from Edmonton!

I had no idea you could get that from an AI bot. Yikes, does it emulate fingerprints too?

“And stop the presses, did I just hear @dmcgee5034 's very own husband does not use artisan homemade soap made in his very own home??!! I think some of us need to take him out back and have a talkin' to. I'm headed over -- who's with me?” @Zing I suggest you send Mrs Zing over instead. from...

@KiwiMoose - I’ve been cutting aloe from some of my houseplants (can’t grow it in the garden in my climate, alas 😢) - and stick blending it to get a gloopy gel. Can I substitute this gel for aloe juice (which I assume is a lot runnier) as a water substitution? TIA!

@DeeAnna @Zany_in_CO (and I must include @AliOop) - just piping in here to say how much I appreciate you. I just answered my front door to accept delivery of my first supplies to make Liquid soap - and a few basic lotions and creams. WOOT! I’ve had a year of learning CP soapmaking (I figure I’ve...

Hello again, @AliOop! I’m a few days behind going down the soapmaking forum rabbit hole. It’s always nice to get a solid thumbs up from people who love our soaps etc. I’m intrigued by the Alaskan Glacial Clay Foaming Mud that you mentioned. I can’t find a recipe, is it available anywhere that...

@dmcgee5034 - Please tell me how you like it! I was gifted one for Christmas and I’m undecided. When I do a horizontal cut, my soap bars are kind of rough - I can’t get a smooth cut like I get with a good sharp knife. I’m hoping I’m just doing something wrong that I can correct!

I see I gave the impression that I buy organic oats locally! I have to ship them from a mill about a 6 hour drive from me. I buy mostly whole grains and mill them myself as needed, for my sourdough bread and other baking. I can’t grind oats fine enough for my liking so buy the flour and sneak...

I buy organic oat flour right from the mill where it is processed. They include information on the farm where the oats were grown. Most of the flour I purchase goes into baking, but I do dip into the bag for some of my soaps! It gives a lovely light exfoliation; my husband loves it as do I. I...

@Zany_in_CO I LOVE your no slime Castile. Have made 3 batches and there will be more. I wait 8 weeks to start using them. My 95 yo mom loves how mild they are On her skin, too! i send happy thoughts your way every time I use your soap 💜

@melinda48 i love all of the faves you listed! As for the F bomb - I’m guilty of muttering it to myself when provoked. But it’s my guilty secret; my friends and family would be surprised to hear me use it! I’m pretty discreet (Except for that time when my phone dropped from my jeans pocket into...
