I did come across her site, and to be honest I was a bit overwhelmed as to where I could find the recipes but then again I was on my phone so really wasn't able to fully look through it, which I will for sure tonight as I'd like to get more ideas or better recipes then what I have

Thank you for the input, I haven't completely decided, and I've got so many ideas in my head that I want to try but a little afraid I'll completely fail at it have wasted all the supplies/money used to make it for it to be a total flop and end up throwing it away. I think I did get confused...

Will do, thank you. It's this strictly soap and candle forum? Or can I find recipes on body butter, lotions, lotion bars and how to make hand sanitizer on this forum?

I'm sorry for my late reply, I just got notification that there was a post for me. As for the product you mentioned, I've checked my target store and ther food area is pretty limited compared to other target stores which is odd since I love in a rather large city. Unfortunately my target...

Ok good, thanks for letting me know

One thing that I've been looking all over the forum doing a general search and maybe I'm just looking it up wrong, I understand you can't use or is a bad idea I should say to use tap/spring/mineral water to mix with the lye and is only a good idea to use distilled, however I own 2 reef...

I bought my FO from natures garden and did check each one before buying that they were cp/ body safe. My EO which I use only in my body butter and sugar scrubs are from doTerra and plant therapy. I don't plan to use the sugar, if it doesn't keep bubbles no sense in using it right. I did...

Sorry reading through the beginner forums I cam across 1 persons question and it peaked my curiosity on something you had said, it was a newbie with few ingredients, you had told her that since she didn't have castor oil she can use a teaspoon of sugar instead and for hardness a teaspoon of...

I am finding that every state carries different products at there walmart I have 2 within 20 min of me and both carry the same brand, Lundy, this is the ONLY brand of lard they carry and is in a red and white container, it was located in the spice area, I did go look at the mexican/foreign...

Susie: 1.) I don't use lard for cooking, I didn't know what lard was till you told me, another person on here had said they used it for cooking . 2.) Lesson learned I won't use vanilla extract again, thank you for telling me not to 3.) I didn't unmold my bars this morning they were still too...

Lard brand is Lundy, it's the only brand my walmart carries, my local grocery stores don't carry lard, I can smell it stinking the minute it started melting, and the more it melted the more it stunk, ifor all brands smell this bad then I won't be using lard bc my hubby didn't appreciate the God...

I did finally gother trace but took almost an hr. So what temperature of the lye do you suggest I leave it at when I pour it into the oils ? So the hotter the lye solution is the faster I'll get to trace? I wonder why all the you tube videos ivery watched example the squishy monster is 1...

Well, after what took about 45min, I finally got my mix to a very light trace so went ahead and added coconut fragrance to half of the batch and nutmeg to the other half, as well as some vanilla extract to the nutmeg and some brown mica, it's been sitting in the mold, which actually is a 6...

I wish I had your phone number or a way to get in touch with you. I followed your recipe exactly, and I let the lye cool to 99.5 degrees my oils we at 92 degrees, I've been sticky blending for the last 20 min with short Burts, just like I read in multiple areas and I havent gotten even the least...

So a few things I'm figuring out, lye solution takes forever for the temperature to come down it started out at 165, it's now down to 123 degrees it's taken 20 min so far for it to do that, I've read in many many places to not add the lye solution to the oils til the lye in below 100 degrees but...

I big problem that I'm not seeing on this soapee calculator, since I put everything in as %, now how am I suppose to know how to trun that % into grams? I was about to try your recipe but cant now bc I have no idea how to change 65% lard into how much I'm actually suppose to weigh out. can you...

I was actually thinking of making soap out of both, 1 batch using palm only and another of lard only, then maybe doing a batch with 50/50 of both. This way I can get a feel for what each feels like on the skin. I read that palm can be waxy and I certainly don't want anything on my skin that...

I will use whats left of my weekend to read over those threads and also make a quick trip bac to Walmart to get the GV brand, when I saw the size of the container I figured that since I'm only starting out on making soap from scratch I should get a small container and then if I see I can do it...

that's good to know that site doesn't save so I will bookmark the soapee one as it did look much easier to use. the soapcalc, omg when I got to the calc I about had a panic attack(lol) when I saw all that extra stuff.

o so I just went to soapee and left everything as it was with all the numbers etc and only put in the co,olive,castor,lard and its telling me water weight 190g, NaOH 69.3g lye concentration 26.7. is this correct? I really need to get my pc to act right so I can watch the toturials, as it is my...
