Hi, susjed! You joint a great forum, welcome!

Very beatiful color. Can you tell us, what is the color of soap with pear?

I wonder, if you do more than one batch is it need to clean tools after every batch?

Hi, Carolyntn! I like to use for problems with skin: a) calendula ointment (I adore calendula) - very easy to make b) resin ointment or c) oak bark - tea. Hm, I have a great book from James A. Duke, but nothing in it about oak bark and skin problems I read in our books that it might help...

Hi, Carolyntn, I didn't buy kidney vetch, I picked it, like many other herbs. I don't think that anyone in Slovenija is selling this herb, but it's very easy to find it in May. Now it is too late for picking it, it's no longer blooming. Do you want it for soaping or treatment?

Hi, Ifiyenia, I find out, that Kidney vetch give nice yellow color. Here is the picture: http://www.treknature.com/gallery/Europ ... 158305.htm I just made tea and used instead of water. Some natural colorants can be bought in Slovenia, but I think, they are pricey. Here is the link...

Hello from Slovenija, nice to see neighbor here. I agree with Irene - lavander from Croatia (in my case Rab) is super. Happy soaping!

I do soap with tallow/lard too (about 30 %). I like them. How much tallow/lard do you put?

In my opinion - much much too expensive. But the smell is divine and the shop is cute. I asked the seller, where the soap is produced? She told me, that most of it is import from England, and the part (small) from Croatia. This is our today - the profit makes that soap (and many other things)...

Thanks, Jenny, to share your experience. I like honey soap very much. But, let me ask you: isn't soap with 37,5 % coconut and 6 % superfat drying? I like coconut for bubbles, but I'm always worried the soap will be drying. Made 70 % coconut soap at 18 % superfat - and waiting to cure.

Thank you very, very, very much!

As always, beautiful.

Sorry, I'd like to help, but I can't. I'm soaping more than a year, till now no problems. But yesterday I had huge problem, seems to me like rised soap, after I put fragrances (vanilla, blueberry) at light trace. I finished somehow, now I'm thinking to rebatch (I think that could be done?).So I...

We are waaaaaaiting to hear the results :P

Hi, about soap molds: I don't know a lot about them. I usually use wood box and line it with baking paper. about essential oils: what is pricey for one, isn't pricey for another. I think, in our country the prices of EO are high (let's say 3-6 euro for 10 ml bottle) and I can't find bigger...

At the end of the year, I would like to thanks to all of you, who so selflessly help. I really appreciate your kindness. Happy new year!

Soapbuddy, I've already crossed fingers for you! But I KNOW, you are sooooooo good, that the soap will be perfect, just how you want. Happy new year and thank you for your help and kindness.

Carebear, if I remember correctly, you wrote, that you don't use castor oil any more. So I'm wondering how can you make non drying soap with bubbly number 50? Is it high % of coconut oil and high % superfat?

Hi, Zhuliya, I found coconut oil at decent price (4 euro/kg) in Hofer. But they don't carry this oil all the year, just before the end of the year (november, maybe december too). Don't know if Hofer is in Italy. But, can you tell me, where do you buy castor oil (which is in Slovenija very very...
