I'm not sure where to post this and on that same note an allergy section on this site would be a great addition. I have completed my skin allergy patch test this week. The results are that I am allergic to the preservatives that most commercial manufacturing companies put in liquid soaps...

That is a beutiful green! Can't wait to see the soap! Be careful whith the neem that stuff is strong!

It is confusing isn't it? I read that it is the warmth of the sun you want not necessarily the light of the sun. You can put a brown bag over the bottle while it gets the warmth of the sun was a suggestion. I guess that would be a balance of yes it is in the sun but it's not in the sun :)

Oh dang! That's the same one I am using. I haven't tested any of the soap yet or notice bumps. Soap is only 2 weeks cured. I wonder if this is what lye Alfa_Lazcares is using?

I wonder if you are both using the same kind of lye? Can you post the name?

Seems like a good plan and $10 is an afordable price to play with. Still considering buying dried leaves but for now I will wait on both because I need oils too! Thank you for the details, looking forward to finding out how your soap turns out : )

Awesome. Was it the same moringa as the link you posted? I was wondering if it would be bright green. I like that.

I made my first batch on 10/4 I feel like a spider making a web and waiting for its delicious prey lol. I'll definitely try it without cornstarch first :)

I looked on Amazon and it looks like they have plenty of borax powder hand cleaner and one normal powder hand cleaner. The normal one has baking soda in it. I'm thinking salt or baking soda would be harsh on my hands. ( contact dermatitis ) my poor hands need soft luxury. I'll try cornstarch first.

Awesome. Good point about the stone wheel.

This is absolutely fascinating. I would have never thought of curling soap like that. I know it's off topic about the sencory objective but it is definitely a decorative idea. It would even work on the soap challenge...I think it is travel soap this month? I just realized how I can take my soap...

I decided to buy the dried leaves and grind them myself. It's still on the back burner for now. I hear ya on not paying attention to everyday things. Most of the time I have tunnel syndrome....right now I have soap for brains lol!!! Seriously if my brain had a voice of it's own it would say "...

I found this link on a google search on cookie cutter soap. It's therapy to some people...interesting. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2018/feb/04/soap-cutting-trend-quick-guide

Dawni, is it normal for sand to be in moring powder?

Thank you Osidian. I remember seeing that one when I looked for moringa on Amazon. I was not sure of that because a couple of the reviews said it had sand in it. But now that I searched other reviews from a different brand of moringa someone said sand is in it. I'm not sure if this is normal...

Yes please! Thank you :)

That sounds like what big companies do with corn syrup here....:( One day I will have Moringa :)

You are so lucky! I have Moringa powder in my save for later box on Amazon. It dropped from $20 a pound to $17 yesterday but It's still to pricey for me to experiment with at the moment. Please let us know what you do with it!

My username Lye-h20-oil is my OMG moment when I realized that soap only needs 3 ingredients. I almost always abbreviate h20 for water when taking notes at work. My avatar is just the sand castle we made at the beach with the crazy eyed octopus shovel. I'm having fun making soap and looking...

Good question! I was wondering what could be used to lighten soap naturaly as well. Looking forward to the answer! I just looked up ingredients in white chocolate and stumbled on white chocolate pudding...now I want to know if pudding has been used in soap!
