Very Pretty!!

That Lush has applied to patent solid lotion bars?? http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=26&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=Mark.IN.&s2=Constantine.IN.&OS=IN/Mark+AND+IN/Constantine&RS=IN/Mark+AND+IN/Constantine WTH? Can...

Hmmm... weird. Well, thanks for your thoughts everyone. I'm not at home so I can't remember where I got it from. I will watch it. Maybe it is DOS. If so; bummer....

Does anyone ever use this color? If so, do you ever find small yellow spots in it? Spots that look like DOS but never really get soft? I've just cut one loaf colored with this and there is a spot of yellow right there on the fresh cut side. The soap is maybe 2 weeks old. Thanks for any info! LA

Sorry! That's what I meant. Not cp soap safe. :-D

It's not soap safe. It states its only good for cosmetics and that a high ph product will change the color. Try this: http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/ProductDetail.aspx?CatalogID=1&GroupID=868&CategoryID=2422&ProductID=434&ProductName=Crafters+Choice%E2%84%A2+Matte+Lavender+Pigment+Powder

Is is a straight, one note, Jasmine? I'd be willing to try it, if so. Thanks!

Does anyone know of a good single note jasmine FO that isn't yellowish? I put it in a white soap and it's hard to get it white without overdoing the titanium dioxide. Thanks! LA

That looks like glycerine rivers. Hard to avoid when gelling oxides. It happens whether colored with an oxide or not when they overheat, for me. (i have found that fragrance oils with Phthalates in them tend to overheat some) So, I either don't gel, or I let it gel, watch it like a hawk...

Hi, Erica! Welcome! LA

Ah, it's no big deal Ruthie, it's posted somewhere in the forum here, but I'm to lazy to look it up! lol! I was just wondering.

Ruthie! Take a picture! I'm wondering if your in the fridge cracks look like mine. Then maybe I won't feel so crazy. :) LA

I would have to concur about humidity being a problem. This year has seen us have some 70% days almost consistently. Not unusual for some areas, but for SoCal, it's strange. I am used to soaping at about 25% humidity. I'm having so many problems with recipes that never had an issue before.

Meeple: not only does it cost that much to start with, but it also has an $800 mandatory yearly tax/fee on top of your regular taxes. At least, that is what I've learned and what a lawyer has confirmed. CA sux for small business. If I am wrong, someone please point me to the right info...

Does it test neutral? It may be done. My liquid soap never looked all that Vaseline like after cooking.

I have cats as well, I know your fear of lye and kittehs. Can you, when you soap, block them out of your soap factory? We use baby gates stacked and a room divider on both of our entrances, we wear shoes that don't leave the area and a clean spot to take them off or put them back on when we...

Kay, I wasn't implying that your lotion was greasy, I swear! :D Just some of mine that I've experimented with, so when I mentioned it along with the e-wax, I meant that I've figured it out that it was the oils not the e-wax giving a heavier/greasy/not soaking in feeling to it and too much...

Hey! So, I make lotion with e-wax and stearic acid. I have never made lotion with beeswax until today, but it was a lotion bar, so not sure how it would be in a liquid/cream. But, I love my lotion with e-wax. I find it only gets a little waxy on skin if I add too much stearic. Otherwise...

Me too! Clemmey! Love it and sooo cheap!

I think you should make them. I made soap favors for my sister's wedding. They were CP goats milk Sweet Grass scented and a CP tomato leaf corn grit scrubbie bar. She had her wedding on a farm. "Good clean fun on the Farm" was on the label along with their names and the date. I made them...
