Where can I learn about MB lye? I want to make sure I do it right.

I watched way to many Soaping videos on YouTube. And when I told my wife I should make drunk soaping videos she shot me down lol. :cool:

Welcome back to the family! I'm new here but everyone here is awesome!

Thanks everyone!

I've been doing some research on EO's for a friend that gets terrible migraines. The amount of EO companies out there is astonishing! Does anyone have any suggestions on brands that are reliable and have good quality? For now I'm going to use a blend in an inhaler for her. But it would be...

I live just miles from the Great Salt Lake and was wondering about adding salt from there. I just thought it would be fun to use a local resource. How did you "harvest" it? Did you use just saltwater?

I heard that book stinks.

Welcome!!!

I ordered this one last night. I think it will work great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M98956Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_t8hGFbX189PMG

I CP soap now on a gas stove. But that's not really an option for my new area. Should I go with induction, infrared or ? Any advice on these options?

I'm glad I found this thread. My wife just told me I can't use "her kitchen" anymore. :-) So now I'm looking for burners and maybe a microwave to soap in a spare room. Maybe a mini fridge too. But that has nothing to do with soaping. :-)

Thanks for all the input. I'm still learning the ropes for sure. I was thinking it was way too many ingredients for one. Also she said the recipe is to maximize lather. I'm not sure they really matters.

Does anyone have an opinion on this recipe? The Best Cold Process Soap Recipe 11 oz. coconut oil 9 oz. olive oil 9 oz. palm oil 2 oz. sweet almond oil 4 oz. castor oil 4 oz. avocado oil 2 oz. mango butter

Thanks for that information. I watched a video on making Dandelion oil and they used fresh. But I can see how that could be a bad idea.

I'm just starting to experiment with infusing olive oil with herbs from my garden and local area. So far I have some lavender and meadow sage drying. I'm not entirely sure what those yellow flowers are :) What have you infused successfully? And did you infuse it dry or fresh?

Thanks for all the welcomes! This community is incredible! I had no idea about Majestic Mountain Sage!!! They are only about an hour from me so that is awesome!!! I'm glad to be maybe the first Utah Soaper here. Originally a NoCal boy but both are home now. :)

Do you like ordering from them? I'm still researching the best place to order my supplies.

Hi all, I just wanted to introduce myself here. I hope to be here for a long time gleaming from all of your knowledge. I first got drawn here by looking for info on making my own soaps. My wife is having some nerve issues and we're trying everything that we can think of to go tout naturel...

Anyone from the N.UT area? I'd love to get some salt from the Great Salt Lake to put into some of our salts. Wonder if anyone has tried that.

I think I would prefer to substitute the palm oil. I would like to make it as eco friendly as possible. I'll give that a try. And thanks again for the info. I've read a couple of soap making books that really taught me a lot along with this forum.
