    Anyone knows what *this* is?

    Hi! Last Wednesday I made this CP soap with M+P embedded balls. The recipe is the same I used without issues for my indigo ombré soap, but this time I added activated charcoal to it in a (failed) attempt to make the soaps black. I‘m not sure the soap went through gel phase, even though I...

    saponification of CP with MP embeds

    Most definitely... but is my bubblegum soap ruined? When I wipe the cristals clean they come back. The CP soaps bars in which I used the M+P balls aren’t cured yet... Can I still shrink wrap them now and would that prevent more cristals from forming?

    Mad Micas soap rainbows 🌈 (colour reference)

    Hi! I’m not sure I understand the question... I made this colour reference to help people chose micas colours from Mad Micas. There is so much choice that one can easily get overwhelmed. I made the balls for my “bubblegum” soap and before using them, I thought they were too pretty not to be...

    Mad Micas soap rainbows 🌈 (colour reference)

    Yeah, I agree. I almost didn’t include them in the picture for that exact reason (same for the purple - 3rd colour from the left - because I didn’t have a big ball of that one) but then I though the idea was to make a color reference picture, not artwork! 😂

    saponification of CP with MP embeds

    The thing is, it’s not even humid here at this time of year. If anything, some people use humidifiers because the heating makes the air dryer... My embeds are weird... it’s like they develop little “cristals” over them. The soap is still in the mold and covered.

    Lye in my eye help

    Hi! I have eye protection, but the wear over your glasses kind of protective glasses. The thing is have myopia so bad that I absolutely need to wear my glasses in order to see what I’m doing... I looked a bit on Amazon Canada and even if some products claim they fit over glasses, reviews...

    New Soap

    I think I was very lucky with the burn on my arm, which initially was very red and the hairs had ... kinda dissolved? I was still wearing gloves when, while cleaning up, a bit of uncured CP soap batter got onto my upper arm. I don’t know if this is what most people experience, because being...

    saponification of CP with MP embeds

    Hi! I have a question: it was my first time putting clear MP soap embeds in and on top of my CP soap. For sweating, please say to wrap them ASAP... That’s a problem, since after 3 data my 30% OO CP isn’t quite hard enough to take out of the molds* yet. Do you have this sweating problem with...

    I cannot for the life of me find the answer!

    I had the same question because the soap I made on Wednesday still seems very soft for the time it’s been sitting. I usually can get soap out of my molds by day 3, but I’m pretty that won’t be the case this time. 😣

    New Soap

    I don’t understand... I thought I was supposed to swirl before spritzing with alcohol? 🤔

    Lye in my eye help

    I’m a pharmacist myself and, although I have Aspergers (according to my colleagues) an exceptional memory and more knowledge than most community pharmacists, treating chemical burn is definitely out of my comfort zone so the best advise I could have given you was “please to to the ER ASAP”...

    Mad Micas soap rainbows 🌈 (colour reference)

    Hi! I’m not sure if it’s the right place to post this, but I thought about it and couldn’t figure it out... moved It’s not a company review, not finished soap... I meant it more like a reference of Mad Micas colours for my fellow soapers. ❤ I know the website has a picture of each of...

    French macarons lotion bars

    Oh my gosh, I’m sorry about this! I wish I could send you macarons, we have really good ones here in Montreal! Those I used to make the molds are from a bakery called “Point G” (G spot)... They’re THAT good! ❤️❤️
