Left is old packaging with shrink wrap, new is right with delicatessen paper and washi ribbon.

It was an ITP swirl. Was going for a light purple by mixing indigo powder and Moroccan red clay.

I'll let them sit but it was zappy when I put a touch on my finger and then touched my tongue. It is possible that it is FO though now that you said something. It tasted like the FO. I also have oily spots through the whole loaf and the other loaf using the same FO (WSP Lilac in Bloom) had oil...

This girl :(

We would need the full recipe to try and dissect what the issue is.

I have several soaps that I have lying around for awhile that customers don't seem to be interested in and I want to narrow down my soaps to the more popular ones and ones I am getting requests for. Has anyone done confetti soap using an older soap that is scented and putting it in a new batch...

Sent you a message. I'll take all the FOs :) and salt.

What do you mean by rind? Do you have a picture or more of a description? Might also want to advise the type of soap and recipe.

Knock on wood and cross my fingers but I have yet to have an issue with full GM in place of my water. Slowly add the lye, stir for a couple of minutes and repeat until lye is all in. I scrape the sides of my container with a spatula to get all of the lye and milk that is on the side of the...

Thanks Mawr and Shunt. The business I am making this for wants them to be 100% (or as close to) GM. I think I uncovered what my issue is though and it was the liquid amount was less than what I weighed out after I strain my milk/lye solution. I was losing about four to five ounces of liquid...

Does anyone see that their GM soap traces or accelerates quicker than with just water? I SB to emulsion then add color and fragrance/EO stirring by hand, and within no more than two minutes I have a heavy trace and gloop it in the mold. Now, this has even happened on a naked soap. I know the...
