Arimara, yes I did ! I took some notes, too :)
Lenarenee, sorry not sorry ! :lol: I'm in love with the Cambrian and Zeolite too... Actually, it's all your fault ! :p
Read, watch a YT video, make a search on SMF, take some notes, read, watch a YT video, read, take some notes, make a search on SMF, read, watch a YT video... all day long. Does it count as soapy things ? :lol:
Gerry, if you talk about cheese with my french side, I'm in ! :lol:
Do you leave your annatto infusion outside or do you use the method (is it called double-boil ?) that Susie explained above ?
Can we apply this with every seeds/flowers/leaves..?
Lenarenee, I'm gonna have a look at it...
Isg, thank you for the link. It's very interesting !
Susie, I didn't know that we can "boil" the jar to infuse. I've only read about leaving the jar outside, in a sunny place, for several months. Thank you ! It seems easier and faster that way :D
Craig, you're totally right ! But, you know...

Actually I...
That is so interesting !
Earlene, I'm impressed by all your expériences. Can't wait to see what happens next :)
I'd plan to make a Castile before April, with GM. But I don't know if I'm gonna use EO or not, I'm a little afraid of olive's scent... What do you think ?
Check your recipe with a calculator several times. Even if you did it before / specially if it's not your own.
It's a part of the safety, in my opinion :)
Thanks you all ! :D
And thank you to let me know where I can find caustic soda. I'm sooooo excited to start (again ^^) !!
@earlene, Idaho is different from France, for sure ! I like this state, it's green (well, not now actually, we got 2 massive snowstorms since last month... crazy !), and...
Yes, I'm French and I live in Idaho since August :)
I'm glad to find you guys to share about soap making !
I used to make soap (cold process) 8 years ago, in France. It was a great hobby and I loved it, but I didn't have enough time to keep going (my first child was very young then).
But...
