I got some hydrosols for lotion making and made a really nice lotion for my sister in law, I definitely want to keep using them! But I was reading over Swift/Susan's blog and it talks about needed to preserve the hydrosol - I can't tell if I need to add some or not! I have these -...

CAM is a known ricer and I hated it OOB, but in soap (had to HP it), it smells fantastic, I call it spiced apple cider.

For the sale: 32oz Fruit Slices 8oz each Cool Citrus Basil & White Tea & Ginger and last month I got (wish I had known about the sale then): 16oz each Cucumber Melon & Lilac 32oz Cranberry Apple Marmalade They're waiting for me at my sister in Oregon...can't wait to go get them!

I got the tunnel as well lol ...I had plans to get the filling tray so I think I'll go with that option. Using the piquette is ok for a couple, but dozens at a time would be a major PITA. Thanks for the help!

Love the blue balls (who knew I'd ever say that phrase!) and the swirls. Nice job!

That looks YUMMY!

I finally settled on a lip balm recipe and filled a couple lip balm tubes up for personal use, let cool and then added a few more drops to fill in the divot that formed. I just went to use one and the tiny top layer fell off. Whoops. Any tricks to keep this from happening?

They are opening themselves up to being sued unless they have permission from the company to use their name. I'd be super pissed if I had a brewing company an someone used my beer/company name to promote themselves without my permission. In the very least, it's tacky, if not illegal. If they...

Here's the whipped soap cut, it saponified a lot quicker than I thought it would. Still a bit rough around the edges, I'll neaten it up once it firms up more.

Yeah, the ingredients are counted for, but there's no way to making the new embeded batch and do inventory control correctly, or have the new batch with the embeds show as the right price per bar/batch. I can change the "bars" left to take out for the embeds (I used 6 out of 14 bars for embeds)...

Thanks everyone :D The instant gratification of lotion making is really nice. I love, love, love making soap but being able to make the lotion and use it immediately was awesome! And it's sooo easy, with the added bonus of not having to keep kids and animals out of the kitchen to keep them safe...

So I made the peppermint oatmeal soap I posted about here http://soapmakingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30691 and sat down just now to get it "made" in SM3 (pro). I can do the base recipe and wanted to make a blend for the embeds since I can't incorporate 2 recipes into one soap. But it...

If salt and sweat are irritating her, I'd wager there's something going on internally that needs to be fixed. It could be something as simple as she's chronically dehydrated, or it could be an imbalance that needs correcting. How much water does she drink? Is she on diuretics and potassium? Does...

So pretty, these kinds of soap really make me want to try M&P!

Beautiful!!

I found freezer paper finally... It's not as nice as the stuff I could get in the US but it works. I use a hand mixer for the whipped soap but really want to get a kitchen aid stand mixer, less caustic bits to fly at me lol

I knew we had our own link, just had to remember where I saw it (EO forum): http://www.soapmakingforum.com/essential-oil-chart.html

Go to brambleberry.com and find each of your EOs (their product page) - most of them on the BB site have a link in the product description for suggested blends.

Yesterday: My first lotion (thanks to Susan/Swift): Today: Bath bombs: Body Butter (also thanks to Susan/Swift): Ugly bars, chopped up for embeds: Then put into soap (peppermint & oatmeal): Whipped soap (cucumber melon scent) that I forgot needed the recipe adjusted...
