Zen Soaps did the single oil swap back in 2003. In 2007, Crisco developed a new formula, it's completely different now.

P.S. When some people complain about soap being slimy - it's always about castile/bastile. I've never heard complains about 100% CO soap being slimy. Doesn't it have anything to do with the soaps solubility?

Thank you for the answer DeeAnna. From my experience soaps made from soft oils get mushy faster than any other soap. Right now I am using an experimental bar made with 100% canola oil. For the recipe I used the same amount of water I usually use (33% lye solution) and cured it for 4 weeks. It...

DeeAnna, then why does a soap made with just soft liquid oils get more mushy in the soap dish, than a CO or PKO bar does?

She sells some soaps with Aloe Vera Essential Oil as well. :lol: http://soaptopia.com/inc/sdetail/132/493 http://soaptopia.com/inc/sdetail/132/486

I have used RBO at about 25% and haven't had any problems with DOS.

+1 Ginger Ale! :thumbup:

I agree with this, I have both of them and prefer SS Tassi Lavender.

Has anybody tried using more than 1 tablespoon of sugar ppo? Would it increase lather even more? :D Would it make soap softer?

You might want to take a look at these TSW's FOs: Mandarin Coriander (4 Oz.) $9.50, a very nice citrusy-green scent, behaves beautifully in CP, sticks forever. One of my favorites. Yuzu Japanese Grapefruit (4 Oz.) $9.75, a bright, uplifting scent, no A or D. Blackberry Basil (4 Oz.)...

If you choose USPS Priority Mail or Parcel Post, it will cost you less for shipping.

Full Moon is great, strong and very long-lasting. In CP, .5 oz or .6 oz per lb. is more than enough. With some less expensive FOs you might need to use twice this amount.

That's exactly what I was going to suggest!
