Hi can someone please give me a recipe for liquid detergent? Also can 100% Coconut liquid soap be used in front loader? Sorry I found it on Susie's Tutorial can it be used in hard water?

Thanks for all the advice. Is there anyway to up the shelf life for 2 years plus of the soap.

Thanks for your advice. Should I add one tsp of salt, and sugar per pound. Also should I add 1% bees wax for a harder bar?

Yeah I know that would be cruel. Yes I will try tallow soap, I just didn't think it would be moisturising, as the stain bars and cheap soap from supermarkets is made from Tallow but I guess maybe they don't take as much care. And they mass produce. Also am not adverse to using lamb fat.

Yes sorry, I am Christian but am keeping Kosher no pork. Due to spiritual reasons.

In old threads I did 90% EVOO 10% Canola. http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=47288 This is another. http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=47550 Yeah ok should I go with 20% Coconut, 50% Palm 20% Olive 10% Castor. Maybe add some Almond Oil somewhere in the mix? Or use...

Batch I made 2 years ago I use EVOO. I recently used Pomace. But I am going to try and buy the most moisturizing soap at the craft markets and test it. All soap I made has a dry feeling regardless of oils and superfat 5-7% I think I am doing something wrong. I used tsp of raw sugar and tsp of...

Just wow, incredible. I believe if you make Olive Oil soap at home with CP even with 5% - 7% super fat there is still minuscule amounts of excess lye which causes the dryness. Even after curing for over a year. In this process they completely remove all excess lye in long process of cooking and...

I'm going to order a small block of the Savon de Marseille soap and see how it feels. I have wanted to replicate this famous soap.

Yes its strange as Olive soap is know for the most moisturizing. Like Savon de Marseille soap. But they cook and bake it for hours and days. Cure it for months. I think maybe the process is flawed.

Yes that is what happens tight and dry but I thought high olive oil soap was meant to be the most moisturising. Perhaps we aren't making it right. I prefer not to use lard. I think that Palm, Coco butter or Shea is similar in properties.

Maybe one you can use and doubles as a lotion so it cleans and moisturises.

I make one with 10% Coconut, 80 Olive and 10% Canola with 7% but I just think my skin it ultra dry and sensitive. Any ideas for a soothing lotiony bar?

Hi All I am not happy with SF or my CP soaps, even my soaps from a few years ago with 7% super fat are drying. I would like to control SF like make up my Soap and add 7% Jojoba or 7% Sweet Almond. I would like to venture into HP. But like I posted on the liquid soap what preventing me from...

Ok great thanks for extra tip. I am happy as long as I don't have to stand and stir and cook. I am ready to make it now. I just have to buy KOH and glycerine this week. Yes I have have books on my phone now. I hate lugging around books. I don't have kindle but I like how it's more similar to...

Ok thanks, then I will follow Irish Lass recipe then. And I will just add a dash of jojoba later, once it's all diluted. I add a dash of a Almond oil or jojoba to my Bronner's soap sometimes for body wash etc. Sorry just so I not missing anything. Below is recipe for IrishLass combination. So...

How is this recipe? I wanted to add a bit of Palm for creaminess and lather. Is it to complex.

Also if I want to make a dish soap and I have hard water what should I use? Will 100% Coconut oil work with hard water?

So how do I start crafting my own recipe. Do I just sub water for glycerine and run it through calculator. What are best oils and percentages I would like something that keeps well, bubbly and suspended lather and gentle. I would like to up super fat like 7% or more preferably with Jojoba oil...

There's a stumbling block between me and making liquid soap. It seems so difficult. The crock pot and stiring and cooking... I have only ventured past CP and CPOP. Your experiences? Sorry if this is stupid.
