No its not pore clogging. Oils like mineral oil are pore clogging. There are people who use straight oil such as OO to clean their face (nothing else). This is called the "oil cleansing method". I have met patients who do this method (work in plastic surgery) and they have had absolutely...

I cut some peppermint ice soap. I am including my Santa's spruce I cut yesterday since I didn't put it on this post. I figured this must be the official Christmas post! :D

People scare me too! :roll: For me, I know a quality bar, what to look for in a label and anything that is "homemade" I am highly suspect. I was this way before soaping and how I am in life. I have faith others are too and will scrutinize what they buy. If the soaper puts out subpar products it...

Thanks for your response. It sounds like that its quite possible (well actually it is possible because its happening now and happened to you). I suspect its my FO that slowed it down. I appreciate your experience on this matter and I hopefully will hear another answer. I missed your post...

Made another Christmas soap... Icy peppermint and second pic is Santa's Spruce cut

I love skin and I have been perfecting a face soap and it's very similar to the popular foaming cream that you can purchase but I made it my way! I am so excited that I had to share. Look at the bubbles without the drying effect!

Pics of the stages

There is several parts to liquid soap making. It was my first soap I attempted and it was a success, but I haven't done it since. I can't remember all the steps without looking at my notes, but there is a point your soap will look like mash potatoes. I remember cooking it down until it looked...

Thanks seven

Today I cut my first Christmas soaps! I made yesterday with Santa's Spruce. My kitchen smells like a real Christmas tree!

I soaped my first Christmas soap today too today! It is Santa's spruce! I wanted it to have a long cure, so they will be ready for gifting to my neighbors. :)

Very much so!!! :crazy:

I just wanted to show you a soap I did where I did not mix the TD well.

Sometimes with TD, if it was not mixed well speckling can happen. Its my guess... it will be fine. :)

How much honey do you add to the lye water normally?

recipe x4. It works for me, but always check the calculator to be sure.

Did you use titanium dioxide to color the soap?
