Thanks! I have made some soap already...I have made some with lard and some with Crisco and some with just olive and coconut. I just really wanted to put palm and castor oil in a recipe too though. I am working on finding the BEST :D recipe I can get. I have heard that milk soap can tend to...

Hi, I would really like to make a batch of milk soap with just coconut, palm, olive and castor oil. I haven't been able to find any recipes for this, and I don't feel like I know enough to make up my own. I would really appreciate some help to figure out what are the best percentages to use...

I made an oatmeal milk and honey batch with no color or scent. It has a very sweet smell. Probably my favorite soap so far. Made lavendar yesterday....yuck :wink: I also did some MP soap with the Jack Frost scent and some red color. 8) Now I need more lye....saving up containers to buy a...

Oh wow. How interesting about the ingrediants...yes...I was really confused about no hydroxide of any sort, but I get it now :D It's kind of like hand milling. You add what you like to an already made soap base (sort of), right? Thanks for the links artisan soaps. Do you think that milk...

Thanks for your comments on the pups! So in what "form" do you buy Betain in? I searched it on Google, but all I found was capsules...like medicine pills or something. Is the stuff you use liquid? I did find "Fluid Lecithin” But it didn't have the LL at the end and the words were...

Cool. Speaking of scents we don't like, I just made some lavender soap...ugh! I think I had the smell of that stuff stuck to me all day. Gave me a headache. :( I didn't spill any on me or anything. I just really don't like lavender :(

All righty. Thanks everyone. I think I can figure this out! :D Wow Caroline...that is so cool that you can speak so many languages!

Those are beautiful! I wish I could do that! :roll: My sister and I tried to make some melt and pour soap yesterday with some extra base that I was given...hehe I think mp is just not my "thing." Either that or I need to revew my color combinations. We came out with a horrible bown and a...

Hello! So glad you found the forum! I have only been here since Oct, but I have learned so much! These people are all so great :D :D I love it here...I'm sure you will too! :wink:

Well, I have been doing quite a bit of research myself, and have found that yes, Fluidlecithin is German, (all the things that come up when I searched were where we used it here on the forum and after that a bunch German articles or somthing. Betain is apparently a "sweet tasting alkaloid that...

Thanks! :D

oops :oops: I forgot to ask about the Ingredients in the last post.. I am not familliar with Fluidlecitin, Xanthan, or Betain. What are they and where should I buy them?

You are so sweet! Thanks again! :D

Thanks! Do you think I can substitiute the coconut milk with sheep milk?

Hi. I wasn't quite sure where to put this question...hopefully this is right....anyway... I am wondering if it is possable to make milk shower gel. Or shower gel with milk...however I should say that :) Has anyone tried this before? Does anyone have a recipe? What about hand soap...

Hmmm...so sorry you are having troubles! :( I just tried it out and it was fine. Strange.

Are you talking about Christmas soap? Or some other holiday?

Do you have to wait for the soap to cure several weeks before rebatching?
