    Can we talk about clean-up/dishes?

    Agreed! It’s a fun way to get an early test with the soap, too.

    Can we talk about clean-up/dishes?

    I tend to let my tools sit for 24hours before I soak and wash them. By this point, they aren’t oily any more than my regular dishes would be.

    What Other Wax Can I Use?

    I see your point, LOL. Considering she said this was for her son (and I’m assuming child), I don’t think she’ll be using it that way. 🤪

    What Other Wax Can I Use?

    I don’t think the candle will be rubbed against anyone’s body.

    What Other Wax Can I Use?

    Is the soy allergy for food? If so, I would think that burning a soy candle shouldn’t trigger an allergy. EDIT: Can Soy Candles Cause Allergies?

    a good set of scented soaps?

    The OMH from Nurture Soap has a very almond smell to me, but I rather like it. Then again, it’s the first and only one of that scent that I have purchased.

    Aveeno Baby Lotion

    I have one from Nurture Soap, but it’s very almond-y, which I actually really like. The Aveeno scent to me is a lavender scent, but there is a bit more depth to it. I’m not the greatest at picking out notes, but I can normally pick some out. This one has stumped me a bit. Otherwise, I would try...

    Aveeno Baby Lotion

    Hi all! I was wondering if any of you might be privy to something similar to the fragrance in Aveeno baby lotion. I've tried searching for dupes on the web but have found nothing.

    Making bath bombs in high humidity

    I know this is a wee old, but did you purchase the high humidity one? I think it’s mentioned as Robyn’s and has unicorn bath bombs as the main photo?

    Wincing at a post from a local soapmaker

    I would caution saying anything as it could brand you a "hater," which is still absurd. I think I would hesitate to say anything unless it was going to pose an actual danger or threat to someone.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I'm excited to see how these turn out.

    Made my first soap

    You're going to love clays!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    As I’ve made more soap, I’ve gotten comfortable with my recipes and rarely stray. Today, I strayed. I made my first goat milk soap. I’m excited to see how it turns out.

    Struggling with FO Purchases

    Yeah, at this point I’m just sucking it up and ordering things I think I might like. I’ve been mixing a few together with really good results. I’m starting to understand that trial and error is going to be the only way I’m going to find what I like.

    Your % PPO when Testing New Fragrances in CP Soap

    I just wanted to toss my hat in and say that I stick to a pretty standard 3% PPO. This is keeping in mind that IFRA regulations approve using certain ones up to 3%. I check that before I buy any fragrances, because odds are I will forget that it was under 3% and use it. I’ve never had anyone say...

    RIP Green Fig from Brambleberry :(

    I’m not a fan of the FO by itself, but Fig Tree from The Flaming Candle is very green and a wonderful mixer. It’s a Diptyque dupe, but I didn’t know that when I ordered it. I just went nuts ordering a bunch of fragrances that had decent reviews. If it helps, some spilled on my rug, and my...

    Good-bye dear Guy At the End of the Bar

    Zing, I’m so sorry. I know your pain, and I’ve felt it recently. We just lost one of our kitties unexpectedly to an enlarged heart and fluid filled lungs on the 22nd. He was only four years old. They’re the children and family we choose. Theyre irreplaceable, and I’m so sorry for your loss. I...

    Gemstone and terrazzo soap

    I am IN LOVE with these! How did you learn the technique to make them?

    Rosemary & Lemongrass

    OOB means out of bottle. It reminds me of cough syrup. I, too, ensure my friends and family are well stocked. My sister came over, and I gave her half a batch of dual lye shave soaps. 🤣

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I had a happy accident when I cut my loaf today. I’m just awful when it comes to lining my molds with paper, and it showed this time. However, I didn’t really mind it. The wrinkles in the paper gave it a bit of a fun textured look on the sides, almost like it was intentional. It looks a bit odd...
