Oh, I agree! This is going to be so hard to choose! I didn't think I would participate in this challenge, but I changed my mind in the last moment. I'm happy I did - I have definitely learnt something new. :D I'm the last one (#20) in the international section.

I like it too, but it doesn't give you a lot of time for swirling. :)

Maybe you should try Celestial Sea from Pure Fragrance Oils - it behaves beautifully in CP. :smile: And it's the freshest, most realistic ocean scent I've ever found and I've tried many.

Soapalooza is having a free shipping event from now until midnight Sunday, May 10. No minimum order is required. What are your favorites from them? :grin:

You're right, newbie, I know her as well. :smile: I agree, her soaps are fabulous, especially I fell in love with the first one!

navigator9, Tatsiana has just created a new post about her way of making the rimmed soap: http://bysteso.blogspot.com/2015/05/blog-post.html She also has added a feature on her blog, so now anybody who wants can send her an email. :D

Yes, Montreal is famous for its smoked meat. :-D I will send a message to Tatsiana with a link to this thread.

She is my friend, and I'm pretty sure if you ask her - she would tell and show how she does it. I've seen some pictures of the process. We've had a couple of what we call "duels" between us, those soaps with CP rims are the result of one of them. For the "duel" I made a CP soap with a double...

It also took me 4 attempts to get more or less what I wanted, but I'll be able to take pictures of my other soap batches not earlier than this weekend. I like all your soaps, but I can see why you are so happy with your 4th one. I knew right away it would be the winner. :)

Oh, I did not realize it was yours! I voted for it. :) I believe it's one of the most amazing landscape soaps I've ever seen! I love everything about it... the texture of the soap, the colors... Great job, LionPrincess!

Thanks for the nice words you all, I am very flattered. :)

chloe, Julie - beautiful soaps, amazing swirls!

You're so sweet, newbie! Thank you everybody for the compliments!

Congratulations, Sonya! You did a fabulous job!

here it is: 41. Blank IH. Action of soap on skin. Arch Derm Syph 1939; 39:811–824.

Here is some data to support this: source: Cosmetic Formulation of Skin Care Products, by Zoe Diana Draelo, page 44 I wish I could find such information regarding polyunsaturated fatty acids. :?

Yes, you're right. :) Thank you, newbie!

But is there such a thing as "natural" soap? :D For me, saponin found in nature, is natural. Any soap is a product of a chemical reaction... I guess everything depends on your definition of "natural".

Thank you. How much FO did you use?

I use a silicone mold like this one: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/new-arrival-grain-bakeware-tools-silicone-big-cake-molds-rectangle-dessert-bread-moulds-wholesale/835053_1676831034.html The internal dimensions are 14.5 * 5.8 * 7.5cm (approx 5.7" x 2.28" x 2.95") You can buy a lot...
