Have you tried any of your MP base in the shower without any scent added? There's nothing in the EOs you're adding that should make 'sour', so I'd suspect you're smelling the actual soap then. The EO combination you're using is one that should play nice together.

You could try adding just almost any sort of floral to it, a little bit at a time and see what that does. Maybe add some patchouli or vetiver and give it a solid, earthy base.

I REALLY wish you mods had a policy of sending a message to someone when you delete one of their threads or posts for rules violations (except spammers- they KNOW they're breaking rules already). Even just a quick one line 'post/thread deleted by a mod- rule violation' would be great!

That is a wonderfully cute Soap Fairy!

That last one looks like a butterfly! Actually, several of them do.

I'm set up to make my second attempt, I should be able to get it mixed up and in the mold this afternoon. I had a sort of minor epiphany about how this technique should work (or else I'm just slow on the uptake and finally got it). For the column of color for the hidden heart- the goal is NOT to...

That's the initial response to my complaint. Their return policy does NOT address defective products, only incorrect items and items damaged in transit. I asked in my reply what their policy is regarding defective items. I'm waiting to see what the response is, but the tone the rep took in her...

I kind of like the way the original confetti soap looked. Would it not stay together because of too much confetti? That'd be the only reason I'd have rebatched that. Ah, raw meat/meatloaf rebatch. Yep.

I can't imagine it being any good for fish and other aquatic wildlife.

The kids who have access to my soap are more concerned with bright, pretty colors than they are scent. To the extent that they've expressed any preferences, though, citrus type scents are what they seem to like (slightly) more than others.

I recently placed an order with Bramble Berry, and the lanolin I got clearly has fragrance in it. A sort of baby powder floral. Not even close to anything that might be considered the natural odor of lanolin (especially not when I have another jar from another supplier that doesn't smell even...

That's pretty neat! How do the window insets affect burning when it gets down that far? Do they cause the melt pool to drain down the side when it reaches them?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably wind up putting a layer of plastic wrap down on top of each one, followed by cardboard so I can stack them. 500 or 750g of oils plus water plus 50-60% salt should fill two or three of the molds- each one makes 4 bars. I bought a couple of bags of canning...

Now I can't wait to get the individual bar molds I just ordered. I think the very first thing I'll do with them is make a batch of salt bars to try out.

One of the things I really, really like about using stainless bowls and mixing cups and such is that I am a klutz. Seriously a klutz. I have broken more than one of those 'unbreakable' corelle plates and bowls (one of them broke on carpet! ). I broke our dog's food bowl the other day, thick...

Something like one of these? Though these are smaller than you said you want. https://www.milkywaymolds.com/soap-clamshells-cups.aspx I also found these on etsy, they're the size you're looking for: https://www.etsy.com/listing/273795206/set-lot-of-12-bath-bomb-bath-fizzies?ref=shop_home_active_24

I love those colors!

Eeee! From Geeksoap.net And another one:

I don't have any PETG filament (it's food safe- ABS and PLA are kind of questionable) and then you have the issue of stuff getting trapped in the tiny little grooves of the layers. And putting it into the dishwasher is going to be a no go no matter what filament it's printed from. You could make...

The few times I've used stearic in soap, I used a fairly stiff plastic spatula to scrape the cool residue out of the measuring cup. Comes off pretty easily when it's gone solid again.
