    Salt Soap info wanted

    Good grief! I can clearly see this is NOT going to help with my soap obsession! Good thing I got that good deal on two gallons of coconut oil.

    New to CP soap-- use goat's milk -- always traces quickly!

    I use frozen goat milk to disolve lye, takes a little longer but my lye solution usually only reaches about 80 degrees or less.

    Salt Soap info wanted

    That is so cool looking! I want to make that! I don't think I have the mud but I have everything else, maybe I can do something similar with another earthy color clay. How long must they cure?

    Salt Soap info wanted

    Well, that settled it, I will make my first bars this weekend. I have SO much soap on hand now, I surely need some more... Besides my family is always begging for soap for Christmas, birthdays, because I love them.....I probably have enough for 3 or 4 years.....I need more family.

    Lard confusion

    Maybe you could make pretty little imbeds with your melt and pour to use in your other CP soap. I have added SL to my lye water and also to my mixed oils. Didn't seem to matter.

    Salt Soap info wanted

    Ok, so I have been soaping for over a year now, and keep reading about people making salt soap. I still do not know what is the reason for making a salt soap. What is the attraction? Thinking I need to make some, just don't know the reason...is it better than regular and if so what makes it...

    Lard confusion

    I love SL, it works great in my soap to harden it. I am lazy and I use one cap full per pound of oils and have had great results. Even in my silicon molds I can pop them out the next day and have good clean crisp edges.

    Coconut Oil Source?

    Wow, I have been buying coconut oil at the local grocery and the best I can find price wise is over five dollars a pound. I just make to give for family for gifts, but MAN it gets expensive after a few batches. Where do you all get your coconut oil? The on-line sales always charge so much for...

    Re-purposed CP soap for inlays in new bars?

    Crap, now I have to go start shredding soap! Very cool! That green looks like tree leaves.

    Creative Cost-Effective Containers for Shave Soap

    Would the larger yogurt containers work? Like Chobani? Might be a way to recycle some at the same time. I made a soap similar to that recipe for shaving, my husband really likes it. He uses it with his shaving soap brush, his face is always nice and soft when he is done. I do have a round...

    frustrated

    I can relate! Mine never seem to turn out the way I planned, but they are usually decent to look at, and are great soaps, so live and learn. It is so much fun, don't let it get you down. Maybe you should work at perfecting something simple and go from there. Find a recipe that is slow to...
