Oooh… OK, so I have some citric acid… I add 6g extra lye for every 10g citric acid, correct? (I cannot believe I am saying this! I flunked Chemistry! 🤪) So, pardon my silly question… what if one were to forget the baking soda in the faux sea water? One might have only used sugar and salt in a...

Wow… 😔

Definitely hard water here… ohhh, OK! Well, that’s discouraging! I do love bubbles!

Woohoo!! So happy for you! These sound magic!!!! 😍

Sending lots and lots of prayers for Cheryl and you ❤️ -Hugs-

Hehe… my next project 😎

Thank you so much, guys! I think I am retiring my Castile efforts until I gain more experience 🤣 So I’ve taken your tips @Servant4Christ and @AliOop 😊 and made Bastile soap instead with castor oil, CO and PKO. Felt adventurous and added sugar too! I used EVOO (couldn’t get regular OO) and boy...

It sounds luxurious! So it is like a nice soft scrub?

Hellooo everyone… So, I have tried but not cracked Zany’s No Slime Castile soap and it is really bugging me. In terms of appearance, they were pretty nice — nothing squishy or runny and firm as well. BUT: The first batch soaps were just not sudsy at all. I know not to expect lots of bubbles...

Thank you ❤️ ... he puts up with me, so yeah haha. I really appreciate this information. A relative has very severe psoriasis and now has steroid shots. Those butters are less commonly found here, but I'll definitely keep a look out.

Thank you @Tammyfarms and @ewhitake … I am adding the babassu to my list. I just hope my husband has enough luggage space for my nonsense 🤣

Do you use the Zany seawater method or just distilled water for this recipe?

Thank you @A-Polly and @Mobjack Bay for the heads up about squalene! How scary! Facial oils and serums sound like delightful rabbit holes to dive into 🤣 @KiwiMoose On it! I've taken notes too 😉

Hellooo and welcome! Your soaps are so pretty! ❤️

Y’ALLLL! I am soooo excited now! @Zing … your passion for lotion bars is contagious 🤣 I am ON that meadowfoam business. You know, I’d never bothered with lotions until I moved to Pakistan. I’m from Singapore where it’s summer and humidity all year round. Now, I feel like a prune every winter...

Hi, y'all... My husband is travelling for work and there are the more exotic oils and butters to be had where he is! These aren't to be found in my part of the world. He is able to bring me back some, so yayy! I've seen you guys sing praises to meadowfoam seed oil, so I should get some yes...

I am in total awe!

Welcome! I’m new to the world of soap making too and am loving it! You’ll get loads of help … the guys here are a veritable founts of knowledge!

I had given some coconut + clay [kaolin + red sandalwood/green clay] soap to a few people and they said they liked them lots, so I am feeling super buoyed today! I organized my supplies and infused olive oil in alkanet root powder. I'm getting more olive oil to infuse annatto seeds and Himalayan...

I love kaolin!! That's a really good deal! How is your soaping station coming along? :)
