Stephenson makes a natural m&p. It's brown... I think its african something or other, I'd have to check.

I'm trying to use all natural ingredients

I've been looking everywhere and have tried several recipes for a foaming bath whip that's natural. I really don't want to use Tetrasodium EDTA or any other questionable ingredients... I saw the one with lye that I could make, but is there one that isn't going to take a month to finish? I love...

I was very careful not to disrupt it. I didn't stir it at all. The bubbles were there when I took it out, I'm assuming the microwave did it, I may have to use a double boiler for this

So I decided to play with some melt and pour while I continue to figure out my cold process soap. I had the mixed variety from Bramble Berry and they worked wonderfully. The only bubbles I got was on the top and they easily went away with a few spritzes of alcohol. I got some glycerine...

So I started using the wilton color right performance system which makes such vibrant colors in the bombs, turns the water a great color without dying your skin or the tub. I like it a lot, but I'm running into a problem I didn't even think about. I have red and green bath bombs for...

WOW you are all so helpful thanks this makes a lot of sense! That winter sampler sounds great too!

So I am looking for fragrances for my bath bombs and every time I try and pick some theres about 6000000000 choices and I have no idea where to start. Are there any websites that sell giant sampler packages so I don't have to go through and figure out which ones are good and bad by myself? I'm...

I used melted shea in one of my bombs but it took the fizz out of it, I was so upset.

I've been having a variety of issues with bath bombs. I finally got the fragrance and color right but they change shape or turn to powder. 1 cup baking soda 1/2 cup citric acid 1/2 cup corn starch 1/3 cup espsom salt A little water 2 tbsp fragrance 10 drops of food coloring Witch Hazel to...

Thanks that's really helpful! These are just the things I had to start out. I did some research but got antsy and just wanted to make something. I posted a picture on the previous page. Also- I have been ordering from amazon and bramble berry... I am open to cheap soap suppliers though!

Totally trying this!

YOU RULE! Thanks so much!

I'm going to need to find a list of oils and their effects on soap. Also I've attached the batches I've made so far. The little white ones are bath bombs ypu can ignore them.

Thanks. That's very helpful. I am opposed to using lard, I just went into this thinking I wouldn't use any tallow at all. I didn't realize my bees wax was so high too. Thanks for the feedback, I'm going to have to grab some palm oil now. I used the shea because I knew it was good for you...

I've made 5 different batches so far and I know I used the same main ingredients for the last 3 (the first one I know I did something wrong because it's wildly different. I had beeswax, olive oil (EV - which I now know makes things yellow), shea butter and coconut oil. My breakdown has been...

I have no idea what I used... I thought I did, but I must have measured something wrong because I used the "same recipe" the next day and it came out great. It seemed like it was an accelerated cure but I didn't add fragrances because I'm just starting and I wanted to just get the basics...

Haha thanks everyone! I've made a couple batches now and I keep poking them every day! I'm trying to distract myself by making silicone molds for future soap!

so I made soap using coconut oil, shea butter and olive oil. I used the lye calculator and I made a lb. It did everything it was supposed to do but I went to check on it an hour later and it was solid as a rock! When I went to cut it, I wasn't thinking I know I didn't wait long enough, but it...

Ive been using shea butter but not a lot and then I bond it with witch hazel... it seems to be working! Using water sets it off too early and makes for a weird consistency.
