I am dying to try a little Huggies type FO (need about 1.5 ounces). If anyone has a smidge they would like to sell to me, I would be ever-so-thankful!

4 oz. thick-walled or regular PET plastic jars with lids in either white, cobalt or amber. They can be tall or short, don't really care. If you have some can I help you destash? Jen

If I know I am going to use the TD through the entire batch, I add it directly to my lye water. I think the heat from the lye heating things up helps break down the clumps. I have yet to have a problem doing it that way. I use water-dispersible. Just have to shake it up a little bit before...

Are you stirring, whisking or stick-blending? Just wondering if something isn't getting fully incorporated.

Carebear, you stole the words from my mouth!

Here's a few oils you could superfat with (at cooler temp for some because they don't like heat): jojoba, olive, soybean, rice bran, sunflower, macadamia, meadowfoam seed, lard, apricot kernel These are all skin-loving/conditioning/moisturizing oils. You can just use SoapCalc to work up a...

Are you really new to soaping? I agree that you are maybe complicating yourself by trying to do too much too quick. Don't be so hard on yourself and maybe simplify soaping for a bit. Don't be too harsh on yourself. The soap generally looks pretty good. Anything soft may harden up nicely if...

Interesting article. I make soap and syndets and I have to say they both have their merits. Take what I say with a grain of salt as it's my own personal opinion. I believe soap to be much more economical to produce due to the cost of relative ease of finding the ingredients on a store...

Why don't you just go to a store that sells running shoes (not a SportMart type of place, but an actual store that just specializes in running shoes) and they will assess your "walk" and tell you if you overpronate or roll out, or are flat-footed...really helps getting the right type fo shoe.

I have tried Danskos and hated them. They were too heavy and clunky. That's just me. I find that a good pair of running shoes work best for me. I currently wear Sauconys.

I agree with Carebear...trouble galore on the internet. Bubbles, do you suppose that rather than the skin cancer being caused by TD, quite possibly it's that people think they can stay in the sun longer because they have sunscreen on their skin? And, that rather than the product causing the...

I can tell you that I have tinkered with every conceivable recipe and tweak along the way for solid shampoo and I, too, have color-treated hair. I believe the surfactants to be relatively "color-safe". Why? Because a wise chemist told me and I believe her after reading the specs on each...

It epends what you want in a preservative, but I go with Phenonip. You can use it at higher temps. From Point of Interest Blog:

SOunds like you need the soap to clean the face and then you need a new hobby...lotionmaking...to add the moisture! Haha! Just here to enable!

I always get mine from MMS. I don't think it's organic, though.
