I have 5 months experience and you put me to shame... :D I love the soap though.

That is the perfect soap for Halloween... creepy!

Depending on how they are used, some colorants are better suited for CP than others. Oxides give a good color, but micas may not show up very well unless they are used a specific way. I only have experience with a black oxide sample from WSP so I can't say for sure. :mrgreen: Soap making...

I just used sugar for the first time today (the raw sugar). I put 2 packets into my container, added my cold liquid and then my lye. Out of laziness, I dumped my whole lye in two segments and then added that to my oils. The solids barely melted, but I'm more surprised at the fact that my soap...

It's officially 4 weeks from the time I made this soap. The soap bars have hardened quite a deal and no DOS is detectable. For the sake of information, I have left a bar in three locations: the freezer, the refrigerator, and in a room-temperature curing spot. The three soap bars all have a...

Yep! :) Hair is suppose to have a similar effect as silk and I figured that it's better to try that than die from curiosity. I'm in between jobs, so buying silk is out of the question for now...

I made a soap utilizing the last of my cocoa butter as well as some of my mom's hair. I also decided to utilize some raw sugar for extra lathering power and to play around with the black oxide I have.

job *sorry.

That whipped soap looks beautiful. :) So do the other soaps. I'm curious, what is the difference between a whipped soap and a regular bar (in terms of how it feels, lathers, any added benefits)?

beautifully done! :clap:

If organizing the list alphabetically will not work, why not organize the list according to a general bathing process? List the soaps first, then bath salts & scrubs, then body oils & lotions, next the powders & other items available, and the gift baskets for last. You can also list your...

This was a nice article. I pickled a few veggies over the summer, though only for a couple of days. It makes me want to start up again with a carrot-daikon mix or even pickled beets with onions (courtesy of my mom). :) Thanks for the post.

I've done the math for myself. It would be cheaper to order from soaper's choice than WSP if I was only ordering the 7-gallon oils of CO, OO pomace, and PO.

I haven't done that since 5th grade. :D Memories, memories...

I'm finding that different beers impart a different color to a soap. I used one by Blue Moon that left my soap a pale cream, Resin by Six Point made a yellowish-brown soap, and Guinness Stout made a chocolate-brown soap. I never froze the beer, but they were always cold. It just occurred to me...

I made batch of beer soap using lard and tallow earlier today. I also used black oxide to color a portion of it. All I have to do is figure out how to cut the soap.

You could add more glycerine and see how that goes about. I like to add a little extra in my soaps since I'm also not a fan of tacky soaps. Did me well in some of my beer soaps too. :)

That's still good considering that buying the extreme rollons individually are over $5 a pop for most (if not all) of the scents. Thank you for pointing that out. :)

I rendered some lard for a new batch of soap I want to try out. I'm thinking of rendering some tallow to add to the mix, though it is only a little bit.

I read about this idea before as another user actually used her daughter's hair in it. I pretty interested in the effects myself, but I don't have any hair to use.
