YUMMMMMMM! Just wondering...how did you get such a perfect LOVELY red?

Well...for me it really depends. I use all milk in my soap too...I guess I haven't even tried a handmade soap without milk in it, so I don't know if my reply will really help you or not. :D Mine doesn't last long at all when it's left on a little shelf in the shower. I think it's because it...

Are there any Vanilla scents from Gelluminations that don't discolor? I would like to try out Vanilla Bean, Vanilla Cupcake, and Warm Vanilla Sugar :D I tried Vanilla Creamy an it tuned a VERY dark brown:( Thanks~

Thanks! I think I'll try doing a little less milk today and see what happens :D Might up it on the lye and go to 11.9 too. I have used this soap before, and I do like it...I guess I don't know what it would be like to have a more bubbly soap, so maybe I just don't know what I'm missing...

I tried to re-batch a large ammount of soap in a crockpot, and the temp. was too high or I didn't stir the crazy stuff enough and it burned around the edges and turned brown in the middle. uhg! I hate re-batching! It looked ugly and smelled bad and then it was next to impossable to get out. :cry:

I just wanted to ask and see if any of you know what the problem is with my soap. It's been a week or so and it's still pretty soft. It's just not what I'm used to. So here's the recipe 15oz coconnut 36oz Olive 35oz lard 32 oz milk 11.7 oz lye It's pretty simple but I wasn't sure...

Oh yay! Thank you so much!

Thanks Carebear, the only thing I was missing was about 3 oz of lye...can I really re-batch and add more lye?

Well, the last couple of batches I did were really out of proportion. I didn't have enough lye in my recipe. I used MMS lye calc, but then I lost the recipe and THOUHGT I remembered it enough to make soap. :oops: Anyway, my last batches are REALLY soft, and I am wondering if there's...

I made some rose scented soap with pretty pink swirls yesterday:D Actually I don't care for rose all that much but my mom likes it :D I am planning on a cherry or apple blossom scented batch today.

cool...thanks a ton!

hmm...and it won't make the soap smell at all like pachouli or litsea? It'll still smell like citrus? Thanks!

Honey seems to give a lightly sweet scent..I have used it with milk and oatmeal, and also just by it's self in a batch with no other scent or anything. Hope that helps! :D

What do you think is the best citrusy smelling essential oil to use in cp? I just want one that won't fade quickly...if there is such a thing :D

I don't know where to buy it, but goodness that sure is a mouthful!

I agree! :D

I would just love to make some liquid soap. I think making cheese would be fun too :D Actually I bought my sheep from a friend that has a larger scale creamery. I am thinking it is a lot easier to sell somthing that is not edible with all the licencing and regulations ect. Well, my soaps...

Don't be sorry that you're confused! That's how we all start out isn't it? :D That's what this forum's here for :D A book that I found very helpful was Smart Soapmaking by Anne L. Watson. Another really great one is the Everything soapmaking book. Hope that helps and good luck!

I am just wondering if anyone has any ideas about some other products I could make with sheep's milk. I am doing CP right now, but wondered about something else to add variety :) Would any kind of hand lotion or something work? I don't think I should do hand soap because I was given advice...

Wowee! That's amazing! I do think the pepermint swirly soap is my favorite
