I use powdered sugar in my water before mixing my lye. Never have I tried sorbitol. How much do you add and to the water? Thank you.

It’s a lot of hype and rewording to justify a high price.

You spot on with this. First time I used it I had to stop and grab my tape since my rod was falling every which way. I concentrate, have too. That just so annoyed me.

I love making the pull through method. I used use the bags but, the clean up really wasn’t bad to get the bottles clean. Made some last Saturday and I used mostly neons. The flower petals turned our nice. the best way for me instead of pouring blobs down inside with the tapped droppers, is...

I used Lisa’s method from I dream in soap. Used a bullet mixer and then filled up a bottle of my TD. The last time I used my mini mixer it land all over me and everything else! So this is safer for me.

I would love a tutorial. My son has a printer. So I’m ready.

I use SCI Powder and not the noodles, then put them in the mold. Pop the in the freezer for a bit and they are ready. Used SwiftCraftMonkeys recipe at first and they turn out so nice bubbly without any harshness for the eyes. I don't pack mine in the molds because of all the extracts and other...

Hi, totally a newb here trying to understand the SBM Calculator. The percentage of oils are easy enough to understand. Also, the percentage of my KOH. I don't know how to accommodate the percentage of glycerin. Isn't that why I am doing the calculator? Superfatting no more than 3% is my...

The hair detangled is simple and make if for my grandaughter's since they have such thick hair. Also, when they go swimming if I spray it...
