Love it!

Thanks PinkCupcake! I use individual molds because I am lazy :) I used rose, rose garden, sunflower and lily of the valley fos

...I thought I'd grow a soap garden. Just some fun with new molds, scents and clays.

Mine is more of a body butter with good oils and butter for hair. Here is a link for how to make leave-in conditioners with oil: http://swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.com/2010/06/conditioners-adding-oils-to-leave-in.html?m=1 That may be more what you're looking for. But try the hair butter if you...

I make a whipped "hair butter" that I find works pretty well. 1 part avocado butter 1 part mowrah butter 1 part argan oil 1 part coconut oil. You can substitute the butters for other butters you might have. The texture is whipped and not creamy, but I find it goes on light and absorbs easily...

Is it possible to do the math backwards to figure out your real SF% without the 1 oz you set aside? Calculate how much lye you would have used for 0% SF and compare that to the actual amount of lye you used. Might save yourself some worry :)

It really depends on the skin type. Some people use salt bars as facial soaps and it really works for them. Those are mostly coconut oil. The facial soap I've been using for a few months has 25% coconut oil and I really love it. I also have a high superfat for this bar and use other oils...

Congratulations!!! Soap looks fantastic and I wish you luck on your new arrival!

Welcome, Timm! Good luck when you do your first batch. Do you plan to do cold process, hot process, melt and pour, liquid, or something else?

I would want some laurel oil so I could try making aleppo soap.

I'd like to hear the responses to this :) I've also been considering purchasing this.

I'm a little confused by your order. Did you say you added your lye with the oils, then afterward you added you tea/coconut milk water mixture?

I've had some problems with red transferring to my whiter soaps. Only in patches at the bottom. I'm hoping with more use, maybe the mold will stop doing that.

Welcome to the forum! Hope your first soap turns out great.

Congratulations on your first craft show! Glad you enjoyed the experience. Sent from my ADR6300 using Soap Making mobile app

Maybe someone with more experience with rebatches can come along and explain, but this sounds like you have to remelt and do this as a rebatch. Sent from my ADR6300 using Soap Making mobile app

Personally, I like coconut oil in shampoo bars. My hair gets oily and I find the coconut oil helps. I'm not sure if others care for it that much as it can make hair overly dry. I like to use avocado oil or butter in my shampoo recipes. I like the oil properties for hair. Sent from my ADR6300...

I am up to my eyeballs in soap! :) I try to make a batch each weekend if I have room to cure it. Each batch is a little bit different. This experiment/learning phase is fun. Most are ok after 4 weeks. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Soap Making mobile app
