    Pumpkin pie spice in CP Soap

    Pumpkin pie spice by ulrurunaturals posted Sep 22, 2018 at 8:01 PM here's the pumpkin pie spice soap everyone gave me comments on I like how it turned out..and the white on the top is soda ash. I like to embrace the ash cause it can be a visual effect to the over all look of the soap naturally.

    What's the deal with expectations in soaping

    Yes guess that's a valid point. I tried a raw version .Of a color layer a couple of years ago. It was red and white. I call it my Christmas soap. I put about 7 essential oils in it. It made about 5 pounds of soap. My first attempt at a larger batch more complex soap. Everyone loved and it wss my...

    Soaping since Aug 20 2017

    Thank you I just plugged some numbers into a soap calc and wammo! I dont make any soap without oilive oil. I also make little 2 ounce 99% olive oil and 1% coconut oil facial soaps. With a simple mold. I guess I started my adventure off with one of the most challenging oils especially for a...

    What's the deal with expectations in soaping

    For me the creative outlet is "soaping it'self" it's the whole process from mixing the lye and water to melting the oils to chealation to putting the sodium lactate and the scent in now I'm working on additives like colloidal oatmeal I did my first loaf a week ago can't wait to see what it...

    What's the deal with expectations in soaping

    Sure I made this thread cause I really love to see the soap form a life of it's own. That's why I dont plan .colors I do solid colors love watching the morph.

    Lip gloss color display

    you might be over thinking it. Apply the current batch color on a sticker that hasn't been peeled off yet let it dry amd peel it off when. Dry then put in on the top of the lip gloss display then they will see the true color of the lip gloss balm etc. Maybe apply it to a sheet of stickers so...

    Shaving Soap Tallow Substitution

    Agreed cleansing be is a bit high for face according to this data. However based on data alone the numbers only tweek one or 2 Down for each category.

    What's the deal with expectations in soaping

    Yes ..guess that makes sense however I like seeing the colors morph and change without a template or an expectation of what or how it will take shape.

    Shaving Soap Tallow Substitution

    It appears to me to be "6's"based on the raw data. Cocoa butter would deff make for a harder bar due to the density of cocoa butter but based on this data I would say it would make little to no difference in the "ablity to lather" density of lather I'm sure would be neglegable maybe a tiny bit...

    What's the deal with expectations in soaping

    I've only been soaps since last August and it's been a wonderful journey. I've made over 100+ bars and have just now started using additives such as activated charcoal and recently colloidal oatmeal. and have been experimenting with natural color options such as tumeric etc. I know people want...

    2 invgredient Manteca and pine tar soap.

    Yeah sounds good. So does Manteca by itself make a relatovly hard bar? Maybe I'm getting Manteca mixed up w palm oil LOL I mean there's really no getting that mixed up. So what about just palm oil? That boosts lather too right? I like to use Crisco. Would Crisco and pine tar produce more lather...

    How do these oil percentages look?

    In my opponion too many oils. So much work. If you use fewer oils I'm sure it will be more satisfying. Just my opponion.
