Perfect - absolutely perfect and the colours are wonderful - excellent creation (as usual)! Tanya :)

I use 1 to 2 tablespoons raw sugar for 2lb oil weight. I reserve 1/4 cup of my water amount and heat to just warm, add the sugar and stir to dissolve in well. I then SB this into my oils well before adding the lye water. No toffee, no bits, it works very well for me. I don't have to worry...

Yay Starduster!!! It is awesome you are getting to those markets and wonderful that you have found something light to create - your Winkle Pickers are gorgeous :D Tanya :)

I think Artisan means cotton ball? I pull off a small cotton ball sized amount for a 1 kilo oil weight batch, so about 1.5 cms circumference I'd estimate. Tanya :)

Peaceful and positive thoughts heading over to you Pauline. Buster looks like he was a gorgeous fur friend *hugs* Tanya

I haven't found any supplier who can or will give fo ingredients out. INCI is 'fragrance' as far as I am aware. Tanya :)

Thanks for that Woodi!!! I have had Soapmaker for almost a year and I didn't know that - lol - I just use the inventory and recipe functions....now I have to play with it to get the most from it :wink: Tanya :)

A CP salt soap bar would be wonderful for your face imho. You can also add salt to M&P base but it gets quite firm and you need to force it into the mould - still works well though. I make an emulsified salt body scrub but feel it would be too scratchy for directly on the face. Tanya :)

Such a beautiful colour and swirl.....congratulations!!! Tanya :)

Could it possibly be a bleed of the black into the surrounding soap? Sort of diluting the border....? Tanya :)

Ooh - I vote to double it! You can always freeze some if'n it's too much :wink: Tanya :)

You're welcome Chrissy :D BTW - Where are the pics of your curly soap, pray tell? Inquiring minds want to know :wink: Tanya :)

Gorgeous colour and the textured top is beautiful...congrats! Tanya :)

Oh wow, that soap is awesome and 'Vintage Vanilla' is totally perfect! Congrats. Tanya :)

I make an anhydrous body butter and as I don't add a preservative I put a 'best before' date of 6 months on the label. Any I have left over after that get made into soap. I just weigh the total and work out the % of each oil/butter that I used - easy peasy! Tanya :)

I usually do 20% too Stacykins. I have a normal to oily skin in summer and a normal to dry skin in winter and can use my 20% sf CO soap all year round...HTH! (HCG - CO is coconut oil :wink: ) Tanya :)

Clare - I use SL at 2% and it works wonderfully well in Nizzy's divider mould. I usually soap a 1000 gram oil weight batch and add 20ml SL to my lye water, as Chrissy said. I usually dissolve silk into the lye water first and then add the SL when the silk is all dissolved. You can use up to...

They are gorgeous and thank you for the fascination explanation. My DD has been given a betta for her birthday and I am worried we are going to lose him. Ambient RT atm is between 16 and 25 degrees and he is not eating (had him for 8 days, not eating for 3 - or so it seems. We have removed...

Chrissy - do you want some help? I make cigar bands and folded swing tags using Microsoft Publisher and then print them on regular copy paper and cut them with a guillotine - easy now I have it all set up. If your computer has Publisher I can email you a template to start you off....just let...

That is awesome Deborah - congratulations!!! Tanya :)
