Thanks!!!

I'm using some silicone molds(cupcake) for the first time. Should I coat them with oil before I add the soap or do they come out easily without greasing. Thanks, Carolyn

Does any one have a favorite carrot soap recipe they would like to share? I bought some organic carrot baby food and would like to use it for my next batch of soap. Thanks!!!

Thanks, no target here but I'll check Walmart.

Does any one have any suggestions for storing soap in a sports bag? Plastic bags leave the bars pretty mushy. I would like something that I could leave in my son's gear bag. Thanks

Thanks Maria, I do culture my own kefir. I'll do the second fermentation with my next batch and try it.

Thanks Maria, I do HP so I'll add it at the end of the cook. How do you do a second fermentation? Carolyn

Thanks everyone!! My next batch will have kefir in it.

I wanted to use kefir in my soap. I will be using the crock pot method. I know it likely not retain it's kefir benefits in the soap but it is lovely and creamy and I have lots of it. Has any one used it before? Any hints?

Thanks, for your help. I did a batch of 70% lard, 25% olive and 5 % castor and at the end of the cook added 50 % of the crumbly salt bars, which I had ground finely. I worked much faster and scooped it into one log mold. I smoothed it with wax paper and covered for an hour, sliced it in the...

I used about 75% of the oil weight in salt. I think 50- 60 would have been better.Can I use any recipe to add them too or should it be mainly coconut oil? Would I just add them like I did the salt and at what % of my oils would you recommend? Thanks for taking the time to answer, I really...

I made salt bars in my crockpot but must not have been fast enough getting them into the mold. Can I make another batch of crockpot soap and add the crumbs at the end or grind them up and then add them. How do I fix it? They are not zappy and the crumbs have a really nice lather. Any suggestions??

Do you need to add anything, such as vitamin E, to keep the carrots from spoiling in the soap?

Thanks for your replies. I will start collecting some more EOs for this. Do you put the oils into a base and what kind of proportions would you use?

Was wondering if anyone has a recipe for "miracle" moisturizer for 50ish age skin, not necessarily dry just needing some smoothing and tightening.

For a 2lb. mold I would like to get 10 bars, 3.2oz approx. each.

Thanks, for the info, What % salt would you recommend and did what was your water and superfat %?

Has anyone done salt bars without CO or PO and if so how did it turn out. I've read that you need CO to have lather. I don't have any CO right now but I would really like to make some salt bars. I was also wondering if anyone's done CPHP with the salt bars and if so when would you add the...
