I've used this ratio before with a different EO, and never had an issue. It does both, but no zap. I'm starting to chock it up to me teaching my sister how to soap and something misfiring

No, sorry the measured mixture with soap and clay was 7.5 oz, the clay was measured to .5 oz just for a light color

Have any of you guys had issues with eucalyptus essential oil, I don't ever use it but I had somebody who wanted me to use it and it's creating I would say a hardness issue on my oils and why are all within ratio especially according to soap calc. and my own calculations as well so I'm just...

Houseofwool what color is the pink in your soap?

I just rebatched a TON of soap scraps, added pine tar, scented lightly with citronella because they are being donated for stockings for homeless vets, needed good cleaning bars with a slight "clean" scent. Oh also added coffee grounds to help with exfoliation.

Cut soap I made last night My pine tar soap My apple soap

That last one looked like a winding road. Pretty awesome

I made a citrus soap (maybe it'll turn out ok/maybe it won't) It was a new FO I ordered and I'm not sure I like it. I also made lotion bars with that same FO maybe it'll behave better.

I use anise EO for my pine tar soap, it smells funny at first but masks the pine tar once cured. I've used water but have also used lactaid (which I love because it is milk didn't have lactose so it doesn't burn like normal milk) I do usually color my pine tar soap black, fuchsia, and white...

If you are concerned with crumbling I would try felting your bars...it would be pretty, simple, and hold in all of the crumble bits.

Holy cow newbie, I almost had a fit when I saw the bead...I was like "I give up" *tosses hands in air* then bead, the world is good again

That's awesome!!!

You could always start him off with m&p and lotion bars. When my son (currently 3 weeks old) gets bigger I think id let him pick the colors and fragrance, even let him sit down and stir but not pour just yet. I'd let him place embeds and even choose the tools to design.

Always had a nice milky white Castille when naked

Maybe make a matching soap/lotion bar set. Soap is shimmery and lotion bar will leave mica on skin...

Adding salt hardens, sugar creates lather, so naturally tweaking those recipes is a good idea. My salt bars are mainly CO and are superfatted much higher than normal. I'd find a recipe or 2 that you LOVE and work from there. I may use other oils in my base recipe, but it's all very similar...

For me, a little of both. I have my go to standard recipe that I'll use. And I have my spa/shampoo/specialty/ vegan bar recipes too. I have a vegan "line" that uses my vegan recipe but I do play with formulations
