Soap has a similar density as plastic explosives, so the TSA is just doing their jobs! I flew to Europe with 75 sets of soapy wedding favors. Took it as a carry on since I could not risk the bags being delayed or lost. We just asked for a security baggage check and had no problems or major...

Candle science has a scent called 'meadow'. It does smell like freshly cut grass. The lawn type of grass.

1. Earlene - I haven't done this one yet, so something new to learn. 2. Misschief - I have the next week off... I'm IN! 3. IrishLass - I've got some spare time, so I'm IN, too! (I'm excited- this will be my first challenge!) 4. TeresaT - excellent! My first one has a major oil slick, but I'm...

Agree with all the above. I would add annatto and calendula petals. Calendulas grow very easily in a lot of areas. Coffee as the liquid adds a tan color. You can also use charcoal (activated charcoal from bamboo) which sells often around the pharmacy and supplements section.

Looking for pictures...here are some - middle picture used goat milk as the liquid, last picture shows salt and 'regular' in the same basket.

Yes you can fill them all the way to the top. I don't bother covering my soaps but I spritz with alcohol to minimize ash.

This looks fantastic navigator, thanks for sharing the recipe!

Not all EOs fade, and not all FOs stick. As far as citrus, I have found these to help: 1. Soap as cool as possible. Try to prevent gel. 2. Use citrus EOs in combination with litsea cubeba, lemongrass, or both. 3. I have also had success blending citrus with rosemary, but then you...

I was in business 3 years, and closed it mid 2015. In CA you need to pay the state tax you collected, and 'close the books' so to speak. I sold some of my extra supplies and tools, but did not sell the business per se, just ended it. I did not tire of making soaps, I was just not making...

For bath soaps I make non Animal Oils and non Palm oils soaps using olive, coconut, shea and/or cocoa butters and a tiny bit of castor oils; in that order. Play around with the percentages of each using a soap calculator (I use soapcalc.net) until you get % for each oil for the soap...

Charcoal and coffee or charcoal and cocoa for 4.

Indigo for 5, indigo and sea kelp for 6.

So sorry and I hope I did not offend you. If you soap in the same room where you sleep make sure you have good ventilation, and make the soap early in the morning if possible. If you spill lye beads, picking them up with paper towels is better than flooding the whole place with vinegar...

Also, add patchouli. Rose and patchouli are wonderful. Not to discourage adding other components to it. I mean Patchouli EO, not FO

hmm are you for real? troll? Have some answers if you are real.

Different climatic zone, but here is what I grow. For soap or other B&B products: calendula, rosemary, nettles, comfrey, borage. For food everything else! mostly citrus trees, tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, beans. Radicchio going to seed as well as the lettuce, cilantro. All my...

http://hoeggerfarmyard.com/how-to-make-a-goat-milk-castile-bar-soap/ Above link is a tutorial/pictorial I wrote for the goat blog. It uses olive oil only, but the next tutorial (after this one) gives you some pointers on formulating with other oils.

Some candle FOs are tested and approved for use in skin care, others are not. Take a note of who the manufacturer is and ask them.
