Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Soybean Oil, Mango and Shea Butter :) Yes I think I have made 6 other batches since with different additives :)

Yes four children and the last two are boy/girl twins. Soap making has become my stress relief :)

I created my first original recipe and scent the first of July thought I'd share some pictures I am very happy, used a half gallon milk carton for a mold.

well it's worked for me thanks for setting me straight.

Yay another newbie! Congratulations on making your first batch :D

I am going to experiment with some GM powder, Strawberry Powder and some herbs from my garden :)

It helped me to learn a little more by taking the temps at first, the desired range is for your mixture to be 90-110F usually all that takes is adding your lye water to your oils :)

Awesome I love when the UPS or Fed ex man drops off packages :)

I used Coconut Caribe from Southern Soapers and it worked really well. Smells a lot like real coconut.

My first recipe came from Anne Watson's http://www.annelwatson.com/soapmaking/index.html Book 10.5 oz Coconut oil 10.5 oz olive oil 9 oz shea butter 8 oz distilled water 4.2 oz lye 0.6 fragrance(optional) it turned out wonderfully:)

Just an update I used a round silicone made from the same material as the loaf pan and it worked wonderfully! It has been my best batch yet. The only down side other than it being round is it's tendency to hold the FO, so that could be an issue. It was SUPER easy to unmold, it popped right out.

It's actually a regular sized loaf pan like you would cook some pumpkin bread or meatloaf. Bread, meatloaf, it's just like a normal loaf pan same size. Remind me not to ask anymore questions, for now on I'll just experiment myself, I can do without the references.

They look great!

Just curious, it is suppose to be really good for acne and am tempted to get some and try it.

it isn't intended for soap it is a Tupperware Silicone Loaf pan with easy release. I am a Tupperware consultant so have easy access to these pans for pretty cheap.

It's made of silicone? I am thinking about giving it a try.

looks very nice!

looks great!

That is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing! That will help me out a lot. I think I saw something similar at Target the other day.
