baby oil is possibly carcinogenic. If the baby oil is made from mineral oil (most are), the level of carcinogenicity depends on how refined the mineral oil is. Mineral oil that has been refined well enough is not generally harmful. If it has not been well refined then yes, it can be...

Soap does not need to be at trace when poured (defining trace as lifting up your SB and the soap making trails in the batter). However, it does need to be emulsified. When I use several colorants in one batch (layers), I do not reach trace. I let the untraced layer harden before I pour the next...

I personally would start at a 1/4 tsp per pound of oils and go from there. If you have darker oils you will need more than if you have lighter colored oils. Be careful not to use to much, though. It can cause a crackling effect in soap. It also quickens trace for me with my recipe. I'm not sure...

You sure can! I will throw in a sample of titanium dioxide, too. :) The micas can be found here: http://www.nurturesoapsupplies.com/soap-colorants/ and here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/NurtureSoapMolds

I agree with Obsidian 100% about the Argan oil! jenneelk, I would suggest holding off on a large batch of castile right away. If you want to make it try a smaller batch first. Castile can be tricky and take foooorrrever to trace, but can cure quickly with a water discount. For a harder, faster...

Yes, I have tested it. It fades just as Raspberry Pop does. It does not stay bright pink, but fades to a light pink in soap. It does not turn peachy, though.

I just wanted to clarify that titanium dioxide is used to make a white soap, not white mica. :)

Sorry Lindy, the pink just arrived! I will figure out a way to get a sample to you. :)

If anyone is interested, we make custom molds for these liners as well. http://www.nurturesoapsupplies.com/custom-wood-molds/

For international buyers, I now have shipping rates for micas (and any orders under 4 pounds) set to accept international first class mail. First class rates are generally much more reasonable than priority rates.

SwiftRuby, are you sure you ordered the green from me? www.nurturesoapmolds.com? I have not sent any micas to Australia. http://www.soapmakingforum.com/f11/pencil-lines-using-mica-34683/ Posted 5-6-2013 I see now that you're talking about the original green apple mica. This is not the...

I'm so sorry that happened SwiftRuby! It stays a bright, true green for me and others who have tried it. Have you tried using it again? If you are not happy I will issue you a refund. Have the other colors worked well for you?

deedee1, you can email me at [email protected] with your address and I can get a shipping quote for you. :)

Ruthie, I feel your pain! I am so excited for summer break! I love my students, but I love summer break more. In fact, my husband and house love it, too, since cleaning gets put on the back burner for awhile. I just started teaching, and didn't realize how demanding it really is! 8. More...

Thank you kazmi! I really like the design because the lid is designed to sit an inch above the soap and creates a seal that helps prevent ash. Its great if you make textured tops. :)

I hope this ok to post here, but I think I can help some of you out if you end up needing a mold box for this liner. I have an example of a box made for a chawoorim liner here, and I'm always more than happy to help out my fellow soapers! Also, I can attest to the fact that the red from...
