I'm making a 100% coconut test batch with coffee. Wish me luck!

I used the Dr. Squatch soap today. I was sloppily cut, it had a few start and stop lines, and it wasn't an even cut. On top of that, it had flecks of soap "dust" like they hadn't cleaned the cutter between batches. The fold in tab was stuck into the soap, so it was boxed way too early and makes...

They'd have drink the Buffalo Trace AFTER they made soap or OSHA would have a fit. :p;) We moved to Kentucky last February, I have horses and he has midget cars, and California had gotten way too unfriendly for those sports. We've developed a love of bourbon and it would be fun to tie that in...

I bought Babassu oil and I'm going to try it out by making a goat's milk and honey batch. I can't wait 'til my pine tar gets here!

I want to see how their soaps perform and get a different viewpoint than my own. I'm not trying to be them but there maybe something I like about their soap and a light bulb may go on. They must be doing something right because Squatch is $80 million company in a world where body washes reign...

I'm kind of surprised by two big brands using Palm Oil when so many consumers consider it the devil. I personally don't like soaping with it because of the ash. Interestingly, I watched a few videos comparing the two and a couple of guys looked at the ingredient and don't get that "saponified...

I've bought various brands of soap for testing and research. Buff City, Bubble Factory (Soap Gal), Dr. Squatch, and Duke Cannon. I'm going to have my husband try them to see what he likes about each brand. I know what I like, but I think men and women want something different out of soap. Also...

I've never made a pine tar soap and I'm going to try, thanks to a post I found with instructions and videos that I found. Couple that with the fact, that I'd like to make "campfire" bar. So, my question is: Does the smell come through with the Auson Kiln Burned pine tar, will it need a boost or...

That's Prince, my Morgan park horse. He is a love. I've owned him for a year.

My husband and I stopped in at a Buff City Soap in the next town over, Saturday. I had never seen one and I'm curious about the franchise. The store was really big, I'd say close to 2400sf, for the part you can see. (I can't imagine the rent, it was in shopping plaza anchored by Kroger.) It was...

My husband and I stopped in at a Buff City Soap in the next town over, yesterday. I had never seen one and I'm curious about the franchise. The store was really big, I'd say close to 2400sf, for the part you can see. (I can't imagine the rent, it was in shopping plaza anchored by Kroger.) It...

Thank you everyone. 🤗

I made a guest sized loaf of my favorite Lavender/Orange, just for me. :)

I cut it this morning at 18 hours because I couldn't wait. It could have used the full 24 hours, but it still cut well. My takeaways from this batch: It needs to be redder, not darker - it looks like square bologna. I forced it to go through gel, but I think the scent and color would benefit...

I'm getting my mojo back and taking my time. I did my tried and true basic batch (castor, coconut, olive and shea) and I tried of blend of flower-y EO's with a blend of metallic brick red and hot pink mica. I like how the EO blend smells but, I think it needs to be stronger. I've been trying...

This is my second batch coming out of a 20 year hiatus. I'm doing test batches to get my legs back underneath me and to decide if I like formulas. This Goat's Milk and Honey and my first time soaping with goat's milk. My take aways are: 1. I really like the feel goat's milk gives the soap. I...

I've been out of soaping for 20 years, and decided to start up again. This my second batch, I poured at too thick of a trace, but I'm happy with it. Things that used to be second nature to me now require thoughts on the process. But, it will come back to me. Goats Milk and Honey with no oats.

It's blurb from someone else, not mine.

I'm doing organic, responsibly sourced cold processed soap. I've come up with a formula that has Palm Oil in it, the description reads: "In addition to organic certification, this palm fruit oil option carries RSPO Certification, otherwise known as Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil...

I've been out of soapmaking for 20 years and have decided to get back in to it. I used to get my EOs from EOU and they were fantastic. Now, I understand that they aren't around any longer. I've found a lot of suppliers, but I want real life experiences. So, I'd like to know where do you get...
