What are your wet ingredients? I only use oils. No witch hazel etc. That helps. No liquid colourants either. It means that you aren't fighting fizz in the making of them and it all happens in the tub.

Hi, I make cupcake bath bombs. Frosted with cocoa butter, Shea butter, coconut oil and sweet almond oil. Melt them all together and put it in fridge. Keep checking so it doesn't set up. I just let it set to consistency of buttercream and then pipe onto bombs like I would regular cupcakes. I...

Hi. In the UK it's called grease proof paper and is available in all supermarkets next to the cling film and foil. I sometimes use the cling film to line my molds because it take ages with paper. I'm rubbish at making it fit!

Hi Mark. I'm new to the forum too. Also in the uk. If you would like any help sourcing suppliers or anything else I will be glad to help. I am not a big business. Just work from home but I absolutely love soaping. It's addictive and can talk about it all day!

An olive, coconut, sweet almond and refined Shea butter with added titanium dioxide will produce a very white bar. As for sugar, I find that dissolving it in the water before adding the lye is the way...

I stay away from palm too. I think coconut oil can be used in higher quantities instead of palm but it's more expensive. Crazy as it sounds a 50/50 olive/coconut recipe produces a lovely soap. Or a 40/25/20/15 olive/coconut/Shea/cocoa butter. As for cure time I mostly do CPOP. The result is...
