I love what you have done with your labels - very nice indeed! Tanya :)

I add raw sugar at 1T ppo dissolved into some of my water amount and blended into my oils before adding the lye water. I am a chicken and don't want to add anything to my lye other than water and silk. I find that blending other ingredients into my oils first (before the lye) including GM...

Honor - here is a great link I use to convert weights and measures:- http://www.worldwidemetric.com/metcal.htm Shipping will probably be fairly pricey, so perhaps you could email Karen at Big Trees and ask her to let you know the US supplier of any particular fo you want to try? Tanya :)

It is coconut oil with the solids removed and is used as Milla says. You can use it in soap too but it has different properties to 76 degree. Tanya :)

They are really pretty!!! Excellent :D Tanya :)

That is excellent! Tanya :)

I have some feedback on 2 more fos:- Earth Goddess - I soaped at 1.5% oil weight and it is a little light - probably will work better at 2.5 - 3%. It has a light minty scent and I had added some pink grapefruit eo which complements it well. Nice, but not as earthy/herby as oob. Tiger...

I have only used PKO once in a recipe, at 10%. My hard oils made up 60% of my recipe and I soaped at about 37 degrees c (98f) and I had my soap gel very fast and the top cracked here and there, mostly along swirled texture lines. The only difference in my recipe to the one I usually make is...

I'm so sorry Deborah that your lovely soap didn't stay as pretty as you first made it! At least you have pics to remember how it looked. Tanya :)

Yes, I use coconut milk powder in many of my soaps and it always lightens the base colour nicely. I have used a coconut fo and have lovely tan soap colour with that....it is most likely the fo imho. Have you read any reviews on the one you used? Tanya :)

Beautiful soap as always Wayne & Billie - I am going to watch the tutorial now..... Tanya :)

You got some gorgeous colours Wayne! I love confetti soap and yours is divine :D Tanya :)

Hope everything settles down for you soon GG.... I have used pureed strawberries in CP and MP - make sure you puree the mulberries well so there are no lumps to possibly rot inside your soap :shock: The strawberries turned the soap beigey brown but the fruit acids and sugars sure added to...

Go Ian!!! Looking good :wink: Tanya :)

Thanks Sibi & Bunny! I am planning a new soap to make tomorrow - using Raspberry pop mica for colour and BBs Stargazer Lily fo....thanks to Heartsong for her help on using both those additives :D Tanya :)

Hah! Ashley, thank you for doing that before I did it too! Your soaps sound lovely. I haven't used any vanilla content fos except for one - Vanilla Select by Bramble Berry. I decided to add one brown vanilla soap to my range and just before I made it I decided to do a reverse swirl and it...

That's a wonderful variation of the mantra swirl - really stunning and I can smell it from here! Tanya :)
