Oh that's good to know! For some reason I had gotten it in my mind that they'd been adding something to skim milk to make it palatable. My housemate had gotten on some no sugar kick and had been talking about low fat milk having more sugars or carbs or something. Of course some of my...

I could see this becoming a thread in the crafts and other things. Especially if there was a "how to not tangle yourself while making knockers" tutorial. I'd offer to stuff my trivets, but I have the feeling they'd be hideously lumpy. :cry:

I like that idea. I've not done HP except for once and it didn't have fragrance. I'll keep that in mind for the future though!

I say that counts!

I'm glad you shared a picture. Those are beautiful, and so is the scenery! Great job!!

There was a post today that had an avocado and Neem soap used for bug repellent as well! http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showpost.php?p=651662&postcount=5656

I just want to touch those soaps.. I bet the avocado and milk feel incredible together in soap!

I'll second that customers generally don't understand the price difference between an expensive vs inexpensive fragrance. The one place I saw it work was when I saw someone selling lotions, salves, etc. One part of her line was made with rose essential oil. The seller did have to some extra...

Flashpoint vs Vaporizing While you don't want to burn the essential oils, you can add them at a temperature higher than their Flashpoint. My understanding of Flashpoint, is that is when a substance gives off vapors that could be ignited. That is what determines whether or not an oil ships...

I'm with you there. My crochet skills never made it past trivets...

Very welcome! I'm curious to hear what you think (and seeing lemon soap :) )

I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out in the cut! It's beautiful and the combination of EOs sound great!

Gluten itself isn't bad. Gluten is merely a protein that is present in wheat, rye, barley, malt, and spelt. It's what gives dough the nice, stretchy and elastic texture and it's what makes it possible to have delicious, flaky pastries. The problem with Celiacs, is that we don't have the...

I'm a big fan of vanilla!! In that case, you might be able to make something like a Eucalyptus (regular, not lemon), Cedarwood, Geranium, Mint, Citronella, and Vanilla soap/lotion. It might not be as strong as something with the lemon eucalyptus, but you might like the way you smell a heck...

Honestly, I don't know... Is it for sharing or personal use? If it is personal use you could probably wash and reuse the cling film. I suppose since you've already had them sweat unwrapped, you could make a couple of bars with some leftover scrap, wrap them in wax paper and see if it makes a...

I did something like this last week!! My 2lb soap batch somehow became 5lbs and I had to use multiple molds. Your soap came out gorgeous!

Let us eat cake!! Wait.. Did you want it to be less delicious looking? That looks like soap I'd lick..

Are you storing the soaps wrapped tightly? I've had soaps get foggy from either attracting moisture from the air or too much handling.

I've had fragrance oils sometimes sweat out.. So far most of them have gotten reabsorbed

Melt and pour, is pretty notorious for "sweating" because the glycerine is a humectant. Those get wrapped in plastic wrap until they're used. If you are making larger bars instead of individual soaps, you could wrap the larger piece and then just cut off the soap as you use it. Then you're only...
