@AliOop @CreativeWeirdo Ohh, this is why you should always consult soapmakingforum.com before following recipes from the wild wild web. I wanted to use fresh coffee grounds to get more color, but I do take a less-is-more approach to additives, so there is only the thinnest of layers of coffee...

Hello, I just finished my (hopefully) last batch of mp for the holidays and realized I may have been hasty in choosing ingredients. I found recipes for adding coffee grounds to mp soap, and I got a bag of World Market Tahitian Vanilla Bean Ground Coffee: 12 oz. World Market® Tahitian Vanilla...

I thought titanium dioxide was just added to clear soap to turn its color white? I don't really know enough about the difference between clear and white soaps. I have sensitive skin, but I don't think coconut oil is a problem for me. I'll pay attention to how it affects me for sure!

First time melt and pour maker here. I want to make unscented melt and pour soaps for sensitive skin or just sensitive areas. Struggling to find any recipes for this kind of thing. I have 1lb of Brambleberry's SFIC organic melt and pour soap base: Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Palm Oil...
