Could you use freezer paper and not fold it in the crack? The top is done with a wisk at thick trace but I assume you want the rounded bottom. I have gotten a rounded look when I haven't folded my freezer paper very well. HTH.

The hospital gave me a tube of lanolin when I had my babies. The tube worked great.

The reason you use milk in soap is for the fat. So the higher the fat content the more lucious the soap. Goat's milk has more fat than cow's milk and there are certian Goats that produce more fat than others. IMO skim milk is useless for soap as it has no fat. The best cow's milk to use is...

Look at Snow Drift Farms web site- www.snowdriftfarm.com. They have a GREAT Lotionmaking 101.

I too use the canned goat's milk. The concetrated kind. I don't even dilute it.

Are you sure it's mold? I made some Goat's Milk bars and gave them to my inlaws and they told me that my soap had molded. It didn't mold it just got white spots when it was left in the shower I think because the goat's milk discolored to brown as it cured. It would help if you could post a pic!

If you don't want the beeswax you can use btms50. I know it is an emulsifier but it would give it a firmer consistancy plus you get that extra conditioning along with it. Personally I would use the extra virgin coconut cream straight on my face. I have very oily skin so I can't use it but I LOVE...

Do a search on the forum. I am sure there are plenty of formulas. Also try www.lotioncrafter.com and www.theherbarie.com. They have terrific formulas.

I use buttermilk powder for a foaming(or plain) milk bath. I use goat, cow, coconut and buttermilks(all powdered) add finely ground oatmeal, honey powder, bakingsoda, cornstarch,borax, Oat flour, SLSa and fragrance. And when I am in a chocolate mood I add cocoa powder and chocolate FO. It's...

What does your supplier say. Usually they can give you some direction.

I use the glad disposable food containers. There are many different sizes and there are rounds, squares, and rectangles. I'm always looking at things and think "could I make a mold out of this?". And the beauty is they are cheap and if they get nasty you can just throw them out!

Love their products. Top quality and for me shipping is lighting fast :lol:

I used white m&p soap, not any special brand, whipped with my hand mixer and then spread ontop of soap. I was making christmas soaps and wanted snow. It really looked pretty!

Lots of FO have vanilla as their base and yes they will turn. There are vanilla stabilizers out there- I know WSP carries one. Most of the yummy smelling FO's have vanilla in them.

I too have "The Soapmaker's Companion" along with many others but I got but I used this one the most. I really got most of my information off the internet. Swift Crafty Monkey has a terrific blog spot full of TONS of information. Not only soap but bath products too. Just google that name and her...

Hi All, My name is Lisa Dobson and my company is EPI Soap Company. I have been making soap and bath products for about 10 years. Although I did make some terrible lotion in the 80's- Used some base bought from the pharmacy added water, oils and the like but no preservative! Since then I have...

I made some soap with neem and a bunch of other oils and it still smelled a little bit. I used Absinthe FO from Savon Scents. It covered it very well though!

I made my first batch of CP without a scale or any special equiptment. I did run my recipe through the MMS soap calculator so I knew my lye was good but I used what ever oils I had in my kitchen. I converted ounces to cups(I wouldn't recommend that- Target has cheap scales!) and it turned out...

You have to do CP. I do both! I do CP for the way it makes my skin feel and M&P for the artistic pleasure that I can't get with CP. Yes, I know SOME people can be VERY artistic with CP but not me! I have to have my M&P to get beautiful soaps!!!! Go Luck. It's a blast!!!!!
