can i use instant cooking oatmeal to be use in CP soap? This is what I have

I don't understand DRY puree, too. I want to use Papayas. Can I just blend the papaya with a mixer and use it? It will be watery. So 100% papaya or 50-50 with additional water?

Thank you all for the inputs. I know that I really need to learn all the basics all over again. I thought that I can easily make a soap. I will try again later this night! Arief

After confirming: 1. It was perfume. I used 9.3 gr. 2. Water 114 gr. NaOH 40 gr 3. Superfat 6% 4. No heat was involved. 5. No stick blender. I think I have to let it cure for a month and see where it goes. In the mean time, what is the minimum weight so it's not considered tiny batch? I...

I tried to make a soap with CP yesterday and it failed miserably. I used 300 gr of palm oil and NaOH per soapcalc recipe. While I whisked oil and lye for a while and noticed the change in color, I knew that it was time to put the mixture into the mold. I put the perfume in. It was then...

Yeah, it was a bummer. I know. It will be another thing that I will indulge. I will be heading to the hardware store to buy all the gears.

Thank you for all the links. This will lead me to a great path. :D

Yes. And a bit overwhelming for a newbie like me.:mrgreen: Small batches it will be.

I am reading it now. Thank you.

Thank you for the welcome, Steve!

Hi ! I am Arief. I got here because of my wet shaving hobby. It frustrated me. LOL. I wanted to try different shaving soaps and creams. So I got friends that sent me samples of them. Guess what? My government has a regulation that doesn't allow cosmetics to be imported (if you are...
