    Patchouli Essential Oil - smell after long cure

    So weird. I'll look more into my soap recipes to see if that's what I'm doing wrong. I buy my patchouli from Bulk Apothecary, I know a lot of other people do too so I doubt that's the cause.

    label regulations - Hong Kong

    I am a soaper in the US, selling on my website and Faire. I received an email from someone in Hong Kong wanting to purchase a substantial amount of soap. Does anyone know what they require on their labels/ingredients etc? Or really where I can look that up? I'm worried about the cost of...

    Translucent and Opaque soap - how is it done?

    I love it, I think it's gorgeous! While you can't see through it completely it really has a great color and transparent effect.

    Translucent and Opaque soap - how is it done?

    Oh my goodness that looks amazing! I cannot wait until it's unmolded! I was wondering about that too. I do have a baked blade but it never gets any use.

    Translucent and Opaque soap - how is it done?

    This is very helpful, thank you! If you have any pictures after today, please do show and tell! I need to get brave and go ahead with the everclear I've been collecting for making translucent soap. I'd really love to make a full loaf of regular cold process soap and then have a layer of...

    Translucent and Opaque soap - how is it done?

    Hi Everyone, I have long been obsessed with opaque and translucent soaps together. So I have been working on making translucent soap without burning down the house, but working with everclear does terrify me. Have any of you done this type of soap? Is it just transparent soap poured on top...

    Rosemary Oleoresin 2% turn soap muddy red?

    I am HORRIBLE at math and usually use my husband as a math checker, but he wasn't around. I did the math twice before weighing out the ROE. Looking at my handy phone calculator that keeps my history. What I tried to do was .02% of 7,400g oils. So here is what my calculator says. I'm sorry...

    Hi, I'm Stephanie, and new to the forum. Let's cut to the chase. This week I did a couple of new things: Monday I made my first masterbatch from a recipe I've used several other times. (olive, palm, coconut, castor, and jojoba) I did change one thing, I added Rosemary Oleoresin to the...
