The event seems to be over.. Did everything went smooth? Hope so. If not, I wonder if there is anywhere to make a report.

I have quite a number of oils on hand. Avocado, apricot, jojoba, hazelnut, macadamia, olive, rice bran, cocoa butter, shea butter and mango butter. Is butter a must in lotion bar. I see that all formula calls for it.. Lillibella, how do we add tapioca flour? What is it for?

This seems to be a bar hard enough. Did you miss out anything in the process?

Thats very help DeeAnna. I live in Asia, and there is no winter in my country. Thus, I am very concern about the lotion bar being sticky. What are other oils that you will consider it as light?

Is butter a must in all recipe? Anybody tried add menthol crystal in to the lotion bar?

Hi pinkadink, yes i am living in asia. The $2 i quote was in my local currency.. i love shopping at daison for supplies..

I did not really spend alot on the equipment when I first start up. I got all my things from Daiso (not sure if there is such a shop over your side). Everything goes at $2. I got my mini beater (battery operated), whisk, pot (for double boiling), silicone mold, tupperware. I got my stainless...

Very nice.

I saw online that mostly the formula call for 1 part oil, 1 part butter and 1 part beeswax. So, are the measurements in weight or volume?

Amazingly nice... Wow... I won't be able to do something like that... Never a creative person...

Welcome.. Soaping is indeed highly addictive.

I do not know what is a lotion bar until I join SMF. How does it feels like using a lotion bar? It sounds like something that is going to be real thick and sticky. The way to make it seems similar to doing lip balm (i google it). I always find balm sticky. :roll: I do my own body...

Hi, Iam talking about making a gel from KOH soaping. Yes I am thinking if it is possible to make it like the shower gel that we get from store..

I bought some from Sweet Cake, but have yet to try them. So I cannot answer you for that. Thats my first time buying too. I do hope that they turn out good. But I think the shipping for SweetCake is kind of steep. There seems to be shipping restriction on some of the flavours and they have to...

Yeap. They are from sweetcake..

Agreed with the rest.. The first pix looks great.. Remember to post the sequence.. We are all waiting.. :-P

my formula did not require for preservatives. thus, please do take note that the shelf life will be much shorter than alot of products. you can read up on how to add in preservatives though. as i use EO for fragrance, the shelf life is said to be 3 months. but personally, it is not advisable to...

I think the only way is to melt it up in pot (most people would use a crock pot, if you don't have, try double boil method) and see if could be save. I am not sure if addition lye is required for your case since you mentioned it having access oil. I am not sure if anybody did it this way too...

I don't think there will be a lye calc for peanut butter. LOL It seems to me that it should be called peanut paste rather then butter, just that the peanut is ground till so fine and smooth that it become spreadable. Hope your experiment is good.

Hi Mandarin, I hope the balm will be great too. Wish to have it done earlier, but, I only got 1 mouth and I have 2 sticks in my bag currently. How I wish that I can just made and distribute them out. LOL I open up the chocolate and smell, don't really smell nice. Could be a result of being too...
