Hi ya :) I also use the same recipe as you do. I do a 2.5 lbs batch at a time. I also have hard water *sigh. My bars seem to last a long while. The lather is wonderful. I do notice that when it is super humid my soap does get a wee bit soft. Do you use a soap calculator to determine your water...

Soaps look pretty :) It is very addictive ;) May I suggest the heat transfer method..Do you watch any youtubers who do soap making?

That would be amazing!

There are two that got me really interested one is Arianne from Le Fille de la Mer(sp?) She inspired me first then I got in a funk and stopped watching her so much then about a year later I stumbled on Katie's page. I was so inspired, she is wonderful! Her and her brother crack me up! I randomly...

I do that too! Altho I accidently left out a couple crucial micas on my table and my 4.5 yr old got to it dumped them in a pan and came and got me told me he made soap...can't be angry and the cuteness he did earn a time out. So I was waiting impatiently last week for my replacements. Eagerly...

Can you guys give some suggestions on how to do a water discount. I have been terrified to play with it but I am guessing that maybe contributing to the glycerin rivers.

Yeah, for sure keep the customer happy! Thanks for the thread I read it. Some I have done already others I need to work on :) e

Great thank you. Honestly I wish I had a real person to mentor me really. I have just been researching and following recipes and such. I know there is a lot to learn apart from what I have which is not as much as long time soapers. I will get there. I just love soap making. I have had a lye...

So then what does cause the dos? I get the point. I do agree there is a lot to learn still. I am wondering tho if you have gotten dos and I have been (let's say for sake of argument I have been doing this for a few years) if a customer was to get a soap and it had dos after several months. What...

I use all my soaps before selling them. I make sure the product is good before I sell it. There was some soap I made that was not beautiful but I did use it. I understand that I am representing the soapers as a community. I usually do know my product. I appreciate the help I just felt the first...

Ok thanks again. I admit that there is more for me to learn, which is why I posted in this forum. I don't have anyone else to ask. I did assume that this was glycerin rivers. Half of me really regrets posting this now.

Ok thank you for your opinion. I think there maybe a misunderstanding. The bars of soap that I referenced were 4 months old I have been soaping for a year. I have never had glycerin rivers until these two bars they seem to have only appeared recently. I was under the impression that I could...

I was pretty sure that's what glycerin rivers were lol They were in an open cupboard.

So I have noticed a little discoloring and what I think maybe glycerin rivers in my soap... 1. Is that what it is? 2. How did I do that? 3. How do I get it not to happen again? Also, I have been doing farmers market and it rained the bars remained dry but the moisture seemed to make them a wee...

Yesterday, i made a batch of Cucumber Melon bath bomb cupcakes! The other day I opened my etsy store, was annoyed at avery bc of the business cards I ordered and setup an Instagram account for my store. I want to try the salt soap eventually too! Oh boy! Good save there lady!

1st complicated soap...was so rushy bc I didn't want it to setup before I got it together forgot the FO and forgot Sodium Lactate smh...also didn't set the embed in the right layer...when I realized I for the fo I decided this was a play soap...what do you guys think.

What do you guys think...does it look like the butterfly swirl? I also made a coffee soap with a pvc pipe...It got too thick before I put it in..all of them did. I need to get a whisk to mix things instead of relying on the stick blender. I also get nervous that I am gonna get false trace so I...

This kid makes me laugh. I love my silly kids :) This is my toungest being silly he put in my headband lol

Bummer! Is there a shampoo bar recipe that is ok that doesn't have auch a high ph?
