Yes, Carly - I wonder why that is. I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting a pic of the ingredients listed on the back.

I guess Bath & Body Works must have researched that Shea Butter is so appealing to its customers that they feature it prominently on the label of every soap they sell. 🤓 Six bars for $24, or $8.50 each.

If I’m using a soap calculator, I’m pretty successful with my recipes. However, if I add things like goat milk powder, clay, oatmeal and honey, do I need to adjust water & lye? Not necessarily all in the same recipe.

I used a chopstick to pour FO yesterday. It worked perfectly and not a drop was spilled. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you! I would have never thought of that.

Has anyone figured out a way to pour fragrance oils from the bottle without spilling them all over the scale? For as much as fragrance oils cost, I hate to waste so much due to it running down the sides of the bottle and onto the scale.

Autumn colors. First time goat’s milk (powder) and mango butter. Almond FO. I‘m glad that I layered this time instead of swirling.

Has anyone found a good FO that really smells like chocolate chip cookies?

I just discovered that I live about 20 minutes from WSP, and I can save 5% If I pick it up. 👍🏻

Thank you, Kiwi. That’s exactly what I suspected.

What exactly do milk and oatmeal do in a soap? Specifically, is there any noticeable difference? Do they really provide any real noticeable difference to a person’s skin? I know I’ve read about them, but I’d like to hear from people experienced in using them. How about soap with beer or coffee?

I’ve been making candles for three years. I’m not an expert, but I have a lot of experience now. Every time I made 100% soy candles, I would have a lot of trouble with sink holes that needed a lot of help fixing with my heat gun. I tried experimenting with different pour temperatures, with no...

Ah, your guest room is used the same as I use mine! My brother is coming to visit on Labor Day weekend and every time I walk in, I wonder where I’m going to put my soap and candle goods. 😁 From an Ohio State Buckeyes fan to an LSU fan, we can agree what a great quarterback and guy Joe Burrow is. 👍🏻

I’m really tired of making a big batch of CP after spending ten dollars on 2 ounces of fragrance oil, and end up with unscented soap. I used 4.5% FO dispersed in kaolin clay. Am I doing something wrong?

since I’ve never had the fruit by itself, I don’t know what they’re supposed to taste like. The drink is sweet and I can’t really compare it to anything. There are small pieces of the fruit in the drink. Try it! Starbucks®

I had never even heard of dragonfruit until my niece recommended it to me as a cold Starbucks drink. Now I’m addicted to it! What a great flavor.

Thank you. I did in pot swirl which was easy enough with just two colors. Your soaps look fabulous. And i won’t worry about a little gray. 😁

Hello again. I’ve been here for a few weeks now, and I have received some great advice from some really nice people. Thank you! Anyway, this is my latest creation. I made my first small batch of charcoal soap. 17.3 ounces of oils/butters, to which I added 1.1 tsp of activated charcoal. This...

Thank you so much, Lynette! That’s going to be a big help.

No matter how much I adjust my oils/butters, I can’t ever seem to reach the recommended number for “Longevity“. Everything else falls into place. I always come up short. So, what contributes to Longevity? What should I adjust? Also, I have searched and can’t seem to find a comprehensive list...
