Hi, For all my conditioner bars, I use 40% BTMS-50 and 20% Cetyl alcohol, but now I can only find BTMS-80, so I think my bar would not look that hard. I guess I need more Cetyl alcohol to harden the bar. What would my new proportion be?

Hi, I want to try conditioner bars and looking around, I found two versions: 30gr | 30% BMTS-50 30gr | 30% Cetyl alcohol 15gr | 15% shea butter 15gr | 15% cocoa butter 4.5gr | 4.5% distilled water 1.0gr | 1% essential oil 40gr | 40% BTMS-50 43gr | 43% cocoa butter 10gr | 10% shea...

Tthanks Megan, I only have two SCI recipes and use white clay, which I was told not to use it at a high concentration (my recipe says 19.5gr out of 30gr total). So it looks quite dry, but it cleans better than the stephenson soap. I'll give it SCI another try!

Ohh thanks! I want to learn more about syndets!

oh I see, you mean soap? but it said solid shampoo... have I got scammed?

Hi, I have been using Stephensons SS base from some time now and though it doesn't makes so much foam, it does work for me, but I've had some issues with some bars: After taking out of the mold, I usually store them in a plastic box, and many stay there some days on good conditions. But some...

Hi, thanks for your replies. I had no expectations that it would look like a pudding :) but a kind of homage to it. Actually it uses rice and milk but I still don't know how to use milk. Cinnamon and orange and even coconuts (even cloves) are for decoration and flavor on top... anyways... I'm...

Hi, I'm trying to make a rice soap using melt and pour glycerin. I'm reading so many different recipes and I'd like to try these ingredients besides rice: cinnamon powdered coconut orange or lemon zest Why, well let's say there is a desert based on rice (I think it's named rice pudding in...

Thanks I appreciate it!

sad to hear it, but thanks for your help. it's going to be hard to cut the layers because they are mixed :)

I think of maybe cover the bars with a scented cloth or soaked with scent... It was the only thing that was missing to make it perfect :(

Hi, The question is: Can I add aroma to an already made glycerine soap bar? I make 2 kg of soap the other day and bought 30ml of aroma, which I later found it was half the minimum recommended by the person who taught me. The soap is half ground oatmeal and half ground cocoa. The soap doesn't...

Thanks Amd and Kcryss, pH is important, I'll need to play safe by now with known recipes until I gain more experience.

Hi I want to thank you all for your information. I did a final test on another recipe from the same source, but without clay, just to see how clay impacts on the final product: 19.5g SCI (65% of the total weight) 3g distilled water (10%) (I pust 4g, will wait to dry more) 1.5g cocoa butter (5%)...

Thanks for your help Isg! This is very helpful, the ingredients can be very flexible.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and I'm planning on making my own shampoo bar. I payed for a local course to learn to make one and on that course we actually made one. The results are not bad, in fact my hair feels good. However, I encountered two problems: After subsequent tries, the bar looks...
