Yes I am looking for a nice bar that has a pine/cedar/balsam/woodsy scent to it. I have quite a few oils on hand and will be ordering more stuff when I figure out which scent I'm going with so I'm open to any recipe. I'm just not brave enough or educated enough to make my own recipe up.

I've made three batches of CP soap before so I am looking for something a bit on the easier side. I do want a pretty basic recipe as I only have a 9 bar birch wood mold I purchased from Bramble Berry. If my soap comes out well and sells good I'll definitely get a bigger mold.

I've never heard of pine tar soap. What is it?

I want to make a pine or balsam scented soap and am looking for a good recipe. Does anyone have a tried and trusted recipe they've used? My Aunt has a store here in the Adirondacks and during "tourist" season she can't keep pine scented soap on her shelves. She has been buying from a catolog...

Thanks for all the tips. I definitely should have waited to do an advanced recipe. I used all the same exact tools that were used in the tutorial. My light and dark layers came out beautiful, but because my swirl layers thickened I kind of plopped them on top and then swirled them. There...

The recipe I used is.... http://www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/cold-process-soap/holiday-cookie-bar-cold-process-tutorial/ One I separated the batter out I tried to work quickly and my bottom and middle layer were nice and pourable. However the batter that I separated off for the...

I recently made my first batch of CP soap using a recipe from Bramble Berry. My first attempt was a disaster. The batter thickened up so much I couldn't divide it up to add the necessary micas. Figured I just over mixed I didn't mix my second batch as long as was able to divide up the batter...

I'm starting to rethink my previous post. I ordered almost $300 worth of stuff to make a batch of CP Christmas soap (my first try at CP so I needed everything). Well my first try didn't work out so I needed to re-order a few more things to try it again. I placed this order on 11/16 and today is...

I don't know much about making soap yet, but it sounds like soap ash. Can't really tell from the pic though. Looks like your soap went into gel phase too, but I could be totally wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

LOL... I don't really know Hazel. I've only made one batch of M&P soap and will be making my first CP soap this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

It was a M&P recipe that had these white balls w/cranberry seeds in them placed in a black bar of soap. I'm more into the rustic old fashioned looking soap if you know what I mean. I have Shea butter, palm kernel flakes, sweet almond oil, palm oil, coconut oil, olive oil, titanium dioxide...

Today I received an order from Bramble Berry and included in it was a sample of Cranberry Chutney FO. I really love the smell of it and would love to do a soap with it, but since I'm so new to soaping I'm too scared to make up my own recipe. They did have one tutorial/recipe on their site, but...

I placed an order with them recently for every thing I need to make my first batch of CP soap. It took them 3 or 4 days to pack up all my stuff and ship it. It then took about 4 more days to get it and I live in upstate (near Canada) New York. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making
