Thanks, I have now read cinnamon bark oil is more irritating than cinnamon leaf oil, I had the latter. I added 0.5oz to 2.7lb of oils so it should be ok! We'll see. Thanks for bringing that up, didn't think of that!

This thread is sort of a double post, the recipe for this soap is in viewtopic.php?f=16&t=34643&p=305852#p305852 if anyone wants it

Thanks, I've found that for the leaves, be careful not to get specks of soap on them because it looks bad. Also, putting the leaves in a book to flatten them overnight helps. Put them down on the waxpaper and get soap on em before they recurl. I usually use fresh leaves for that part but...

This thread is like a handbook. A magnificent handbook of soapings. Get ready to experience the world of my soaps, because it's about to be unleashed like you've never seen before. You don't believe it, you say. Well, you best be believing it, and for your own good, my friend. Because after...

Thought I lost this CP batch when all the sudden it got like lard consistency after 10min of stirring, so dumped it out and smeared it into its mold in a hurry (was originally going to just throw it ontop of pre-laid cinnamon streaks but didn't because of the rush), and then doused it with...

There is a loose definition of what 'sustainable' is depending on who you ask, which is what makes me wonder!

Does anyone know about Whole Foods' palm oil? I assume it's somewhat "sustainable" even though none of that really is "sustainable" even if they say it is..

Good points about the metal. I might just use a wooden spoon. It'll be work but the idea of avoiding electricity to make soap is cool. Hopefully it won't be lumpy if I'm persistent.

Or will too much air be introduced into the soap?

cool! thanks

If I do the same recipe I made for HP, will it work with CP? It may be a little different but is it doable? I have never done CP before. Thanks

This looks awesome. Do you need clearance or permits or something to sell soap? Can any old person just make soap and sell it or are there regulations to comply with?

Noob Captain here, what's GM Soap? Thanks!

Re: Oats & Honey Soap Recipe We tried this recipe, actually, it was the first batch we ever made and we love it! Ended up doubling the oatmeal, didn't add the honey, and added 3% peppermint EO. This is about 30min into cooking after trace: After full gel (an hour) we started...

This was only the 6th soap batch I've made but it's my favorite so far. Sage Leaf w. Tea Tree Oil Soap: 20% Almond Oil 50% Olive Oil 30% Coconut Oil After gel add: 1.3% of base oil weight Tea Tree oil (This leaves for a nicely present smell, although I'm thinking it may be...

Pictures or it didn't happen! =)

Haha, I like your description. My girlfriend brought all this soaping up and I sort of dove into it so she deserves a thank you too, she's amazing :) I want to keep of a record of each batch to see how to improve it. I like the idea of posting it all so that someone in the future can...
