    Can I sprinkle tiny bits of dried coconut on top of my CP soap after I poured it?

    Thank you both. This one is dried flakes, no added sugar, it's actually from the soaping website, I just didn't know if it would turn brown or ugly on top

    Greetings from a little town no one seems to know exists

In a hot or warm shower, and I think hot water causes the pores to open up and therefore the skin might absorb more of what you put on it during that time. Same as when we...

    Activated charcoal batch crumbled to pieces

    Oils are 53 oz and 1 oz of vitamin e oil and 18oz of goats milk and 7.8 oz of lye, rose clay and the charcoal. Now My daughter says she added some Xtra cuz it didn't look dark enough lol so maybe between the charcoal and too much lye? The vitamin e oil is wheat germ oil

    Activated charcoal batch crumbled to pieces

    It was in a lined mold but I just dumped it in here for the photo. Anyway my first two batches with the exact same recipe cut nice and smooth but this one with charcoal crumbled. I used Goat’s milk as my liquid, should I have added more liquid or something? Here are my first two cut up, they...
