Goodness! Terrible Breath Samson! YUCK

@amd - I wanted to say thank you for mentioning Salt Works - I just got my order of 5# of "powder grain" sea salt - and holy moly - Velvet is a great description! Insanely soft and smooth! Thank you!

@SaltedFig - WOW! Thank you

Hi Daryl - I am interested in this too - thinking about teaching to women who are in a local domestic abuse shelter as a craft or potentially income generating skill (except the market is so doggone crowded). I need to learn a LOT more myself before I would be qualified to teach - but eager to...

Thank you @SherSoapCo I am going to investigate! Best to you! C

Hi There Is there a comparison chart for the various preservatives I see discussed here? I am thinking of something like a cheat sheet that has a summary of qualities and limitations / advantages of various preservatives? pH Range Water Soluble Oil Content of Formula Max Temp at which to add...

I am going to a friend's house tonight where I will be giving away my "warty fails" LOL! More notes! Thanks for your help!

@shunt2011 I am guessing too much spray on my part! I had a recipe that recommended 50:50 91% alcohol: witch hazel. If I eliminate the WH will I have fewer issues? Thank yoU!

Carolyn. You continue in my thoughts. I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope you have resources and support to help with this situation. I agree with @SaltedFig this reads like abuse. I hope you are taking care of yourself. Stress can be debilitating physically, mentally and...

Thanks @shunt2011 do you use cocoa butter instead of / as a substitute for e-wax? Are Epsom salts the primary cause of warts or should I look for other culprits? Thank you!

I know about moving fast! I had one turn to almost concrete so maybe I will up the water a bit in an abundance of caution! Thanks @shunt2011

Thanks @shunt2011 I found it on The Spruce site and decided to give it a go. I LOVE the indigo color so I may just make a 80% CO batch so I can satisfy my need for blue. Does the 30% lye concentration sound good? Thanks. Clarice

Super thread thanks all. Now I know what to call those ugly bumps on my bombs. Warts! Perfect description. Good to know that Epsom salts can contribute. I used the last of what I had on hand yesterday and I won’t be getting more sine I like “no wart” bombs! Is e wax : emulsifying wax? Do...

Personally, Irritation Trumps Yawns ARGH
