Has any of you taken a course (either by school of natural skincare, formula botanica or any other) on formulating your own products? Was it worth it? I want to take the online class by School of natural skincare but wonder if the $700 I have to pay are worth the information I'm going to get. TIA

I have never worked with such big batches but I wonder if adding a little Titanium dioxide could help keep it that white/creamy color? I'm sure somebody else can help you more.

I've never soaped with banana but intend to soap with plantain sometime soon, I'll post the results in this thread whenever I do it.

Interesting, When doing the aloe one, do you take the crystal out and discard the green part or do you use the whole thing?

I found this thread from 2013 trying to find some information about making a soap with beet puree. https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/pumpkin-puree.38892/ Thought it would be fun to share what purees have you used and any fun/relevant thing you can share. I'll start, so far I've only...

I watch a few, MO river soap, royaltysoaps, soap school, Ariane Arsenault (not sure if I spelled it properly) are some of my favs.

Hahaha eyeballing it's fine but it's really not for me. Not even with the sugar in my coffee, if I don't measure it, it never comes out right

To what ratio have you mixed your TD? I started my soaping journey back in my home country (Colombia) and the only place I could get TD from was not a very reliable source, and I still didn't get spots ever. I always mixed it with water in a 3:1 water to TD ratio at least 10 mins before I...

I usually soap around 5% and that's worked for me so far, I've been adding some full fat coconut milk to my latest bars but I haven't had the chance to try those. I rarely do salt bars but I do 18% on those. I'm thinking for the winter months I might try some higher levels because it gets...

I actually forgot to wear my goggles yesterday, I was in such a rush to make the soap because I had somewhere to go!! and some soap batter actually splashed really really r e a l l y close to my eyes. Thankfully nothing happened, I washed my face really fast, poured the soap in a mold and then...

I've never used a thermometer before, just recently bought one. Haven't used it still.

I just wanted to thank you all, I was able to find all the supplies I needed and successfully made my first batch of soap in US soil. I'll leave a picture here, it's a very simple OO/CO recipe with lavender and lemon EO. I already ordered some FO and micas so I can do more interesting stuff but...
