I made this recipe with 99% alcohol. It’s a lovely sanitizer working well with a spray bottle. I’m feeling pleased with myself that I had 99% alcohol on hand. Being an ex nurse, I’m comfortable with this combination over anything else. I like the addition of hydrogen peroxide.

There’s a plan!! :p

Thankyou. I’m going to give these a go!

I believe there are now shipping/freight restrictions which means the cost of shipping is prohibitive. I’d need to look I to this further but I recall reading something months ago about it. I think we are caught up in that. Saying that I buy my fragrances from Eroma. An Aussie fragrance company...

I obsessed over this soap about a year ago. I believe it is actually soap. A type a clear glycerine soap. From what I could determine, it has the same firmness of clear glycerine soap but absolutely clear. I tried to make it, but it came out a bit cloudy due to my impatience. I’m not sure I have...

Hard like soap. I find my husband uses too much when it’s softer.

I’ve been using it for 10 months and haven’t noticed any dryness aside from the normal winter dry skin. Though I did tweak it for a firmer block. So not sure if that’s why.

Thank you. I’ll check out those suggestions. Appreciate any and all information.

in our continued effort to reduce what we purchase with plastic, I’m now at Toothpaste. We’ve tried the powder. Been making it for a few years. Find it incredibly messy, so the need to clean the basin is a constant struggle. I’ve recently found tooth tablets. There appear to be a few on the...

Meanwhile my bucket list includes a white Xmas....One day :nodding:

With our summer nearly here this doesn’t quit depict the heat we endure in Qld over Xmas

I’m going through this a little right now. I was a career woman and wanted to be an independent working mum and wife. We struggled with infertility. Gave up. Surprise pregnancy. It changed my world. I’ve been a SAHM for 15 years. He’s gaining his independence wings and I’m faultering. It’s...

I added D-limonene to my formula and it’s great for grease. I can get the hardest sticky labels off with mine. I haven’t put a preservative in mine. I’ve been making it almost 12 months. It’s gone through our very humid (sub tropical) conditions and we got to nearly 50 degrees Celsius in...

We run ours under the water while filling up the sink and it bubbles up beautifully and feels just like regular dishwasher detergent. Just a little bit and then the water just makes the rest of the bubbles. So maybe try that.

I was thinking burning too! I e made this recipe a few times and never had a problem nor used preservative. It doesn’t look like mold to me. I settled on a hybrid of Arriane and Humblebee recipe. I make it it large batches and add way more bi carb to make it firm and let it dry for ages to firm...

Hi sorry for the delayed response, life happened and I couldn’t get back here! I gave up making liquid shampoo a few years back. I’ve been making sydnet bars and playing with different ones for a while. I experiment every time so I’m yet to find a favourite. I’ve got a base recipe and switch up...

no superfat.

There are some great responses here. I’d like to add, I feel a little qualified (previous medical scientist & recent hairdresser) been making shampoo (liquid for 20+ yrs, bars for 6 & soap for 20+ and still feeling a beginner with the latter). However with shampoo, the pH needs to be 4.5-5.5 so...
