thanks for letting me know had no clue what TD stood for had no clue at all. Another question I have heard and read of people doing single oil/fat soaps anyone do this?

Coconut milk I have some of that gonna try that in my next batch. TD??

ya thats defo what I was thinking! but again pretty colour for my soap. any suggestions on how to add milk and honey to soap.

seriously :hairpulling: oh well at lest's it's not more then 10. but I think I added to much honey.. On a plus side my soap does look pretty like a dark honey brown!

That is what i was thinking someone goes oh use saffron to get a pretty yellow in your soap and I was like uh 5g max of it at £5 (round $7) no thanks I'll pass. I did make a new soap tho 1 Apricot Kernal Oil 140g (23.33 %) 2 Castor Oil 60g (10%) 3 Cocoa Butter 110g (18.33%) 4 Coconut Oil...

Think I will freeze some thanks for the tip dixiedragon. Heck if I would have know that 2 years lol. Question anyone else think it's a waste of saffron to just use it as a natural dye in soap?

Dixiedragon I ended up using one of my new soap domes using that recipe today it's hard as heck compared to the firmish jelly like one I made the previous day. 1 day out from being made it's not harsh on me makes loads of bubbles a bit creamy got grease off my hands but did not dry them out in...

Dixiedragon totally did not think of those got any ideas on lip balms as I totally need some lol! wait how does it help constipation? I'm not vegan just got stuff I know tell ya what lard is great when your roasting a turkey! Will play around with lard now lol

Artemis it depends really coconut oil is cheap here in the UK aloe butter is just as cheap but getting 100% pure aloe vera is very costly and it's slightly hard to get in my area unless I got to a health food store or order online then again you might find out that's not 100%. I have found some...

While soap is not a full on moisturizer it can help if the right things are used I'm not really bothered by the amount butter used it's the same price or cheaper then the apricot kernel oil and to be fair I perfer my butters but everyone is different. Aloe butter is different from shorting at...

Well I did the zap test on my new soap taste like soap no burning or electric type whatever. This soap is really soft almost like a thick jelly kinda nice really but I assume it might be because of the rapeseed and olive oil I did add sugar to that base to boost lather I did use a bit of one...

What I would not give for some good orange sherbet. Thanks for letting me know about dragons blood for soap making. If it turns soap brown that might be something else I can use to get brown soap for some pinecone shaped soap

If your in the UK check out the soap kitchen uk site it has 100% pure caustic soda a 500g bottle of it £2.17 it's worth paying to get decent stuff.

Well just checked on my soap it has set enough to take it out of the mold it's still a little soft but I'm sure that is normal. It has a wonderful cocoa peach smell and it's a pretty shimmery peachy/orange colour. Also just got my new stick blender and scale now I'm going to do a dye and...

Thanks for the heads up dixiedragon. Can't wait to unmold them hope it goes right they smell nice like cocoa butter and peaches tho.

Dixiedragon thank you for the advice it worked like a charm. I just bought stick blender to so maybe I won't have to do the bain marie thing again lol. also had to buy a new scale as I just broke mine trying to put it away and tripped over the blasted dog. I'll get pictures of the soap and mold...

dixiedragon thank you im doing that right now that and buying a stick blender lol

well i have been at it 45min to a hr omg.. im buying a stick blender asap

thankfully i have a good scale. but seriously how long does it take to trace soap by hand

I think I'll get maybe 2-4 bars at 1-2oz ea in half a sphere form easier for me to store smaller bars. I would not say it's special olive oil I just say good as I bought it really cheap but it's really good all round tastes great in a vinaigrette tho lol. I managed to now burn my eyes out or...
