The original box is good but if you want to keep it in an airtight container, that would be ideal. Also, you should store it in a closet or someplace well away from heat/humidity. Rubbermaid, along with other brands, makes a 14-gallon container. I don't blame you for not wanting to cut up all...

Stephenson's base keeps very well for at least 2 or 3 years. I like to test my soap! I keep it wrapped and in a Rubbermaid storage container with a snug, leak-proof lid. If it's food safe and BPA-free, then it's fine for soap storage, whether bars of soap or raw soap base. Here's a picture...

Unfortunately, there have been people crafting melt and pour soap using metal pans as a double boiler rather than stainless steel. It will cause wrinkles in the soap. Another case was someone actually using a plastic container over as a double boiler and wondering why it melted. There are other...

Oh yeah, mixing micas is so much fun -- by the way, love the names of those micas! I've seen the Mad Oils website and have naturally bookmarked it! :)

You certainly got the color right as those look like chunks of real honeycomb! :)

Thanks for updating us about your new link. I've changed it on my website! :)

I can't count how many bars of soap are in the shower because some of them are old, others are sample size, and a few of them are from other soapers. Also, I forget which bar was which once they get small.

While I haven't tried any FO's from this company, there is a Vanilla Hazelnut Mocha fragrance that might be close. If interested, contact them and ask how close it is to Nutella. Here's the link: http://www.candlemaking.com/vanilla-hazelnut-mocha.html Their email address: [email protected]

I've bookmarked their site -- they have quite a big mica selection!

TVivian, Thanks so much for sharing the results of your soaping coconut FO's. I appreciate you taking the time to do this and sharing the results along with the pictures. Fascinating to see how much they discolor! If you're thinking of doing yet another batch, I can recommend Sweetcakes'...

You did a terrific job! Thank you for taking the time to provide links for people all over the world. I've added your site to my LINKS page.

Here's the ingredients: Sodium Cocoate, Propylene Glycol , Sodium Stearate, Glycerin, Water, Sorbitol, Butyris Lac (Buttermilk) Powder, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Honey, Calendula Officinalis (Calendula) Flower Extract, Titanium Dioxide. Looks like you have to use a lesser amount of...

They're both stunning looking! The leaves in the top soap are colored with mica so the colors won't run.

SFIC and Stephenson's bases are both equally good. Stephenson's has just introduced a new base that contains argan oil!

Just going by the picture I'd say it looks like CP soap. At any rate, you did a wonderful job! :)

Honeysuckle Hollow from SweetCakes. I've used it in melt and pour soap and in whipped shea butter and the fragrance lasts and lasts! Here's the link: http://www.sweetcakes.com/product_info.php?cPath=5&products_id=96

Tgool, That's great that you're taking the time to direct people to reputable suppliers. However, if I could offer a suggestion, perhaps you can have the links all lined up to the left like this: 100% Pure Essential Oils A Healing Essence Amphora Aromatics You get the idea. Also...

I use both terms as some perceive hand-milled to mean soap base that is ready made via hot or cold process. Technically, it's a rebatch base which may be in log form or already grated. Soap crafter Marie Browning uses the term hand-milled in her books.

Here's a place that sells gold embedded soap [for $18] and they'll sell you the gold flakes if you email them for their price. They're located in Colorado. http://www.crystalsrocksandgems.com/Healing_Crystals/Gold.html
