I've made a batch similar to this, it turned out fine. But having said that, I no longer use soybean oil.

I love love those shades of blue! what colorants did you use?

I have used Now Foods Tangerine EO and it faded completely. Citirus EO's tend to do that, and this Companies's EO's in particular. I would suggest searching the posts on here, and find a way to combine it or anchor it, with other oils.

I've used it, it worked out well. There was a thread on here about this, not that long ago. ;-)

It sound more like riceing to me, you may need to rebatch. Do you have pics?

I'm not sure which oils I'll be using, I was going to copy the baby oil gel and use mineral oil.... but there are many nicer oils out there. The IPM seem important either way.

Yeah that looks way better. I'm excited now :D So something like wouldn't need a preservative ? b/c it's not water based.

Ultrez 20 is water soluble so would it mix with an oil to make a gel? I also wonder would it stay suspended? Wow lotion crafters is an awesome site! Thanks! I found this http://www.lotioncrafter.com/lipidthix.html Not sure it's exactly what I'm looking for, but it's cheep enough to try out.

I use both lard and tallow, but I live in an area where it's practically expected. Whenever I tell people I make soap the responses are usually the same. the first question: 'you mean with lye?", second question: "do you use lard/tallow?" third question: "you mean like on Fight Club?" To which...

Johnson's makes a baby oil gel, I use a ton of it, especially this time of the year. I use it as an after shower gel, it 'stays' on my skin longer then lotions, or plain baby oil. What I'm wondering, is there any way for me to recreate something like this product at home? Mineral Oil, Hexyl...

After getting ripped off for this cheap imitation, I might have given it as a gift to a friend as a fabulous creation from one of the "local artists" at this wonderful little town I just visited... How mortifying. Again, you have every reason to rant! Tell that general store owner! He or she...

Are you going to be able to roll the sheet tight enough with out crack/breakin it? The diameter of the pringles can is kinda narrow. I've never tried so I dont know, it's just the first thing that came to mind. I hope it works for you because the design with the complimentary scents and colors...

I do not know what OO rebatch is, some kinda Mp thing? cold processed soap needs to be in the open so moisture can evaporate.

Can soap (cold process, hot process, rebatch) ever be too hard? yes, I think so My rebatch is like a rock! How did you rebatch and why? I let it cure for about 1 to 2 weeks.Then I actually keep my soaps in zip lock bags. Is this right? cp soap needs to "breath". So no

I get that ad, even in my email. And I've never even been on FB! so I've never been unfriended.

So.... people like this can just be bad and no won's going to hold them accountable for it!? I'm with Countmounty, I wish there were under cover Soap-Busters.

you can smooth the rough edges by washing your bars. I gently rub a soft cloth over them, under running water. It also helps rinse off any ash, which could be making your soaps look "dull" Oh, I wait till mine are 4-6 weeks old.

cerelife, i'm not defending your cranky soap vendor, but if she's had to deal w/a lot of people who give "handmade" soap a bad name, it could explain her bad 'ttuide.

I sent an email to http://www.troyerscountrymarket.com/about-us.aspx for whatever that's worth...

Well I wasn't going to name, names...LOL you must live close by to put 2 +2 together. :wave: SO I research the company Edna Lucille products is owned by Troyer Food Company. They manufacture and distribute products all over the country. So it's not mom & pop soapers, and it's not M&p, and...
