I don't think it accelerated. If it did only slightly. But it does discolor a lot. I read that and thought I would add 1 tsp of dead sea clay to work with it towards an old weathered paper kind of look. It came out of the mold kind of yellow. Like, almost neon yellow but as it has cured it has...

I was curious if Whispers in the Library and Bibliotheque are too similar to each other or are different enough to include in the same line of products. Basically how would you describe them? I have Biblio and really like it in soap

I purchased some potassium hydroxide from Bulk Apothecary to make liquid soap. The recipe I am using states the formula was made with 90% pure KOH. There isn't any indication on Bulk Apothecary's website or on the containers what percent pure their product is. I have an email in to their...

Does anybody have a suggestion for orange 10X & patchouli EOs ratio for CP soap? Thanks

Right you are! The Olive oil is actually 54%, not 24

So I just started making CP soaps with goat's milk. I bought a 7lb bucket of palm oil but didn't know until today that you are supposed to melt & mix it before using it. I have used about half so I have about 3.5lbs remaining. I have just been scooping from the top as I went. So far my soaps...
