Curious if after sitting a few weeks if the lye would “extract “ the goodness in the powder then strain. Always curious but this would be a very expensive project. Even in liquid form. I have seen babassu oil before snd that’s very $$ also, which is why I didn’t buy. As far as canola goes, how...

I seem to be on the never ending quest to get more rich bubbly lather with LS without the drying effect of coconut oil. I do add CA to the lye water and that really cuts the soap scum from forming but now wonder if the addition of CA inhibits the lather to a point. I recently stumbled upon...

Strained with paper towels after 2 weeks then allowed to sit some more and still has gunk on the bottom. After this post I poured the top off and will use the gunky stuff for whatever I guess. I don’t understand why all goat milk soap is brown nor do I understand why it behaved like it did when...

Finally got around to diluting the paste. Has sat now for a few weeks with gunk at the bottom. Soap is a little cloudy but not too bad. Cooler temps here now also so that could play a part in it. Not sure if it’s worth the trouble.

First update. Lady said the stuff was applied at night and noticeable improvement next day. No more itching and scratching and said the area looks a lot better. The goal here was to reduce or stop the itching, which turns to scratching then bleeding, soothe the skin and protect with a little of...

I gave the lady the option to try or not as it doesn’t bother me either way. She chose to try it. I’ll report in a few. I tested the same mix on another athletes foot problem of a skin crack. So far it’s healing quite nicely. there are several reasons to why I took my toys home. I think it’s...

Never had I thought such concoction would meet such stiff resistance. Me mom and gf tried the same thing for all types of itchy skin issues and never had one problem. The discussion seems to want to go on forever so I’ll pick up my toys and go home

It’s an itchy rash. That’s why I thought of laurel berry. I’m actually afraid of some pure essential oils aside from those we can use neat. But here, I don’t see an issue. This is kinda of how people learn, by trying something.

Sounds very interesting

Salt bar?

I did not tell them to stop using the shampoo. They quit using it on their own. They also cannot get in to see the doctor until January. I don’t give problem people my concoctions because those kinds of people are a PIA to mess with. I also don’t give to people who whine about everything or...

Well, I’m not a doctor. I usually concoct things here and try them on myself first then if it works, I’ll give to some friends to try. The parent said the head n shoulders wasn’t working at all so I thought why not have her try some of this stuff? Couldn’t hurt. I made some LS with laurel...

Off sounding it may be but it worked

Yes, lol, sorry. A sore on the top of my foot. Weed seed got into the sock then dug into the skin. Began to get super painful so I used the mix above last night. Doesnt hurt anymore

It just sounds off though don’t you think? I have read that Laurel berry fruit oil works wonders with skin issues plus ive tried it out on myself especially in LS. I did try the same creme that I made up in the post on a bad foot sore and it no longer is sore. I will provide an update in a few...

Some friends have been having some wild looking itchy rashes lately and the dermatologist told them to bathe with head n shoulders shampoo. Ummmm, no thanks. I decided to have them try something. Off the top of my head I mixed: 10ml Laurel Berry Fruit Oil 10ml polysorbate 80 10ml olive oil Dash...

Orange EO or sweet orange is used in many degreaser applications. From my experiments over the years with it, I use it sparingly cause of the degreasing action and it didn’t smell orange like for very long at all. If I were to do it again, I’d mix orange FO and sweet orange together

Wow @Zany_in_CO, you’re an absolute blessing. Thank you for this. I’ve got polysorbate 20 but no 80 so that’s now on order.

Thank you @Obsidian we shall give that a try

Mom has we think stress related super itchy scalp and neck. I know my laurel berry LS works great with itchy skin but curious if the laurel berry fruit oil can be used neat or does it have to be incorporated into creams or soaps?
