    does beef tallow is smelly in soap?

    I want to render beef tallow to use in soap- from your experience with tallow- at what % the soap will start smelling "beefy"? 45-50%? where I live it's impossible to find lard, and palm is pretty expensive, so for me- tallow it is (I guess?) thanks!

    Sticky Lotion

    which kind of dimethicone do you use (100 cs, 300cs, 1000cs?)? the higher the cs number- the denser and viscous the material so it might be one reason for your problem. Maybe it's the liquide silk that creates that feeling? try rubbing the liquid between your fingers to see.. and like the one...

    Soap feels a little drying

    Thank you!! I am pretty sure the problem is due to the hard water where I live. It's a known issue in my country :(. But I'm glad to hear something can help- I don't have EDTA on hand or sodium citrate but I have citric acid. Any instructions or advice in that matter would be helpful!

    Help! Lotion is bubbly/air pockets

    Maybe it's because you use xanthan gum in the water phase- the water phase is thicker, thus it takes more stick blending to incorporate well the phases together- and even though when you mix the emulsion it looks emulsified to you, it still needs more blending.

    First order of FO arrived!

    I have ordered some oils from BB OOB some of them smell a little medicine-like, I'm a little disappointed, I was expecting these to be much better because there was so many good reviews on them. Maybe I'm just too picky, IDK :\ This is how the oils smell to me OOB: Cocoa butter cashmere- not...
