I would just like to add that all those expensive and exotic sounding oils & butters sound nice but one of my favorite recipes just has tallow, olive, and coconut with castor. Lard also makes a great bar.

I use powdered goats milk, I use about 2-3 tablespoons of reserved water to make a slurry and then pour it in at trace. I do not even cool my lye first and I have never had an issue with thickness, browning or overheating. I also do not refrigerate it and rarely have a gel. I realize though...

Hi, I am like you... been making soap a while and read here a lot but just registered to post. I too have found any kind of milk to be really foul smelling especially after cutting it. Rest assured, that smell goes away and the scent you added becomes the primary smell.

That makes sense, sugar only encourages fungus growth. It cant be good.

I agree with people who recommend a smaller batch than 5 pounds, I make 1 lb batches when experimenting and 2 when I want more. That way I have an excuse to make lots of batches! I can make soap everyday or a couple times a week. Not to mention that batches do not always turn out how you...

Very nice Miz Jenny!

I hear what you are saying, but I don't think raspberry needs to be a true red. The real fruit is kind of a deep reddish pink to me.

Grunted, It really is not as scary as it sounds, but if you insist on doing it your way then it will be. All you really need is your regular recipe plus a scent (Essential or fragrance oil) and a color (Mica, pigment or clay). But you cannot get all the qualities you are seeking by buying...

Are you sure your friend did not mean the scent of coconut with raspberry? My personal preference is to never go above 20% coconut oil in any recipe except salt bars but I have heard some like it high. For the scents, I have not found any purees to retain a scent after saponification. You...

I agree and that is my experience with them also. :sad:

I love excel, its great. I would be interested in seeing this so I could see how you set it up if you are sharing.

This is not the correct way to contest a trademark. A petition on Change.org will do nothing. Here is a link that explains the process. http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/index.jsp 15 U.S.C. § 1064 [Section 14 of the Trademark Act] A petition to cancel a registration of a mark, stating the...

Even after healing that eye may be blurry for quite a while, hopefully not. Took about a month to get back to normal after my injury. I am sorry that happened to you.

I used Mccormick pumpkin pie spice in mine and it turned out nice, with a mild pumpkin pie scent.

Just cut it and it seems fine with no zap. Thank you all for the reassurance.

I know where I went wrong on this simply because I had a bit left over that I poured into small molds and did not cpop them. It is setting up fine so unfortunately I cannot blame the goats milk, FO or the recipe. What I did wrong was turn my oven to 170 degrees to preheat, then turn it off and...
