Most likely the crisco. Every time I use it I get DOS & I think they changed something else with it not just the palm. I can use veg shortening (cottonseed & soy) from walmart and never get DOS so figure that one out lol

Dang I love that calc :(

Yup ours has been almost $6 for a couple months now, it's all going up though. It sucks.

If you used crisco stay away from it. I believe they changed the formula yet again so for the past few months I was trying to figure out what was going on and here it's the crisco.

I burned my face the first time I soaped almost 5 years ago lol. Hubby was helping me at first and I took a whirl at it and raw soap splashed on my face, didn't realize it until I felt the itch. Thank goodness for the mask though and eye protection. Still to this day I still wear it and cringe...

I have weird stuff happen with flakes for some reason I like the beads myself, but I don't seem to have static problems here. I think the humidity keeps my static down, thank goodness ;)

I wish I could find it locally too. Anyone know of any in michigan? I can't buy 50lbs at once no room and it's humid here all the time.

I used borax in the past, but I don't even use a neutralizer now that I use the summberbee soap calc.

I've been thinking about this for a few weeks now, it's such a good idea just have to figure out how to do it lol

I love chocolate soap it's not a big seller for me, but that's ok more for me lol

My hubby has told me about this too it would be really neat to have for sure!

I'm embarrassed I always have over 20 and I always hear it from hubby lol. I always ask him did you try the new soap I put in there and he always asks which one, what color is it lol. I have a big shower caddy and hubby made me a special soap holder rack for me that is made from coated hardware...

Mine took maybe a few months, but it didn't go completely rancid for 6 or more. Now I used pomace though so it might be different for you. I have read regular olive is suppose to be better for preventing DOS, but maybe carebear has a little insight on that :)

Oh DOS how I hate thee lol. I feel for you I live in a very humid area too. I always have to throw out batches. Pure castile though is notorious for going DOS at least for me. I have a batch that went total DOS the bars went totally rancid throughout it was awful. So now I'm afraid of soaping...

Never tried them, but I can't see paying that much for their products.

I 2nd GFS or look for middle eastern stores you can usually find cheaper olive oil there, just make sure it's pure olive oil and not a blend.

I found a chart on my hard drive that lists all the colorants and if their stable in soap is that what your talking about? I think I have one with pics too, but I'll have to search some more :)

I have the blue salt lake liquid from TKB and it has the blue #1 lake in it. It morphs to purple.
