Thanks

Ok cool thanks. Here I go! EDIT Well, im starting my first salt bar recipe, this is what Im working on, please holler if any red flags go off when reading this. The only thing that Im wondering about ....I have always made goats milk soap using frozen cubes of condensed liquid GM that i add...

No one mentioned using goats milk in a salt bar. Is it not practical? I'm reading...looks like a lot of people use GM in salt bars. First....what is Soleseife...I can't spell it...some sort of salt bar? Do I dissolve the salt in the water before lye or after lye? Or add to oils or at trace...

I put some pink salt in my grinder and it turned it to powder. I didn't expect it would be so fine. Is there such a thing as too fine? What do you think is the best grain size? Maybe one side fine grain and the other side powder? Anybody bought a Himalayan pink salt horse lick block from a...

How much pink clay? 1 tsp PPO? For color? Or for other qualities? I have some red clay and rose clay. Any suggestions for fragrance?

Yes it helps thanks!

So most people use high coconut in salt bars huh? High cleansing factor? How come? With the salt added, it doesn't dry become too drying? I guess the high water and high superfatt counter act the dryness. I guess my question is...why high coconut for salt? So...I could try 80% coconut 10%...

Can someone please be so kind and recommend a pink sea salt recipe? And pointers on lye concentration/water percentage and superfat? I have not made any cold process salt bars yet. Any advice? thanks! By the way I usually put additives such as tussah silk, citric acid and sodium lactate. I'm...

Thanks!

Two months ago I froze some condensed goat's milk in the freezer as ice cubes. And I made a batch. The leftover cubes I put into an empty coffee can with a lid and left them in the freezer. I'm making soap right now, and I was just about to use those frozen cubes. But now I'm starting to wonder...

I know what you mean! My husband thinks the same thing. But he lets me spend money on my hobbies cause I'll spend all day in my craft room and it lets him watch sports, which I can only take so much of.

I would love to have such a store near me! To buy a teaspoon of something. So far I've checked out whole foods and then we have vitamin shoppe...which is very expensive. I haven't yet found any others shops in my area that have caught my interest. As far as natural colorants, I have not yet...

Actually, i would be interested in finding local stores that would have these items. While I order supplies mostly online, I do keep an eye out for sales. The local grocery stores and Wal-Mart have turmeric, mustard, coconut powder, goat milk powder, chamomile tea, green tea, salts and mint...

I know some of these items are available in stores. But to experiment with them, buying in bulk is not practical. That was the point. Buying each of these in the store would be very expensive for someone who just wants to test it out. I wasn't exactly looking for 'cheap' herbs. I wanted to...

Here is the link. I placed my order on a friday, it arrived exactly one week later. http://soapsuppliesshop.com/

Well I got my package of powder additives in the mail today. I'm a newbie and I know that eventually I will probably not use many of these powders, but I still want to experiment with them and get to know the different properties of the various additives that are available to use. I wanted to...

I also wanted to add tussah silk but I was soaping cool. I knew it probably wouldn't dissolve in the lye water ice bath. So I put honey in little water with tussah silk and heated it up to dissolve and then let it cool to warm and added to my oils. Guess I shouldn't have huh?

This is my oatmeal honey goats milk soap. Made last night. I know I unfolded too soon. But why do all my soaps have this oily beading?

does citric acid help preserve it? How much do I put?

I ran across an big aloe leaf in Walmart for a buck and decided what the heck and brought it home. I've never extracted aloe before. I looked up how to extract it...but once I've done that, put it in a air tight container, glass? how do I store it? in the fridge? How long will it keep that way...
