thanks Kansas farm girl! :)

thanks!and thank you for the other reply!

I f you have dry skin do you use less than 100% salt in the bars?

can someone post "A Dummy's Guide to Soap Labels" PA-LEASE? :( We're talking a basic-no extras computer here. Is a logiciel needed? I have read that I can buy stickers then download a program to print them up BUT how do you transfer an idea for a label? Are you limited to just round, rect...

Hazel, Do you think it's wise then not to overdo the ccn content in soap? I love the way it scents soap naturally. Surely the reaction is different after saponification as opposed to applying directly to your skin....she asks hopefully... :| I s'pose it's safer using buttermilk etc....

I personally haven't tried the shampoo bar I've made yet but others have..it's a recipe from Melinda Coss' book. A specific shampoo bar. It uses 2 egg yolks, creamed ccn along with the water and olive oil and beeswax. So there are other options.

thanks, I think I'll give it a try at least once! Just to see...it's all part of the experience isn't it? Happy Soaping!! :D

do you just do a normal rebatch? There's no problem about mixing all the fragrances....do you get some interesting scents? :) After they're hard you can use them immediately can't you?

this may be a stupid question but does anyone go to the trouble of rebatching old soap bits (for personal use of course!!) or are you not THAT 'attached' :lol: to your soaps?

took the label off!!! That could be the problem! Forget about things like that. Will stick to the cardboard boxes and regular molds from now on!!...til I can get hubby to make a loaf mold for me! :wink: Thank you for the honey/water advice...will do from here on in! :D

not the hard plastic (have used that before) it was a rigid but soft to the touch plastic for refrigerated food) also...Irish Lass I guess I haven't done enough research on milk soaps...I use milk with my honey soaps are you SUPPOSED to try to STOP the gel by putting it in the fridge? Been...

I've made honey soap twice before but this is the first time I got a pool in the bottom of one of the molds! I left it a bit longer but it didn't change and when I unmolded it and rinsed it ...did I get my first zap!! (Well, I always wondered what it was like!!) It was a deepish half moon shape...

I'm afraid if I do that I'll end up smelling like a Chinese dish instead of a rose!!! I'l join you in the deodorized! :lol:

ahhhhhhhhhhhh....didn't know there WERE different kinds! Yes it's the cooking kind!! Thanks ladies!! Used it in a beer, hazelnut,walnut you name it nut oil soap!! Next time will try Rosemary or something like that to use it up!! Thanks again...

thanks Irish Lass!!!

oof!! Thanks, I didn't know that!! Will move them now!

THANK YE !!!! THANK YE!!!! THANK YE!!!!!!!! :D

this is a late addition but weee doggy that is lovely!!!

lovely soap!! How long can you keep a soap with fresh orange peel?

any suggestions to help camouflage the strong scent sesame oil has? Which EO would work the best? Sandalwood?!? Or should I put a bit in a jar and add the EO to it to test?
