I nearly always CPOP. I have yet to do a Goatsmilk - which I won't be able to CPOP, but otherwise it is CPOP for me. My reasons: It does insure gel. Instead of 6 weeks cure, I feel more comfortable using it within 3. It helps to evaporate some of the water out to harden more quickly. I...

Thank you for all the great responses and information. I should have clarified that in regards to a dishwashing liquid it was for hand washing. I know "real" soap is a no-no in dishwashers - SUDS CITY - don't ask if I found out that the hard way . . .

Thank you for sharing that formula! I would like it for its flu-germ fighting capabilities mostly. Not for direct skin application though since there are quite a few sensitizers in there. Mostly diffusing during cold season, spritzy bottle of "sanitizer" for surfaces, and disinfecting.

Pardon my ignorance - what does master batch lye 1:1 mean?

Realizing everyone has different preferences and tricks, I'd like to have a few Goatsmilk soapers weigh in with their best methods. I would like to GM CP soap and am still a bit jumpy about it. I am not sure yet whether it would be best for me to: 1. Use pure slushy/frozen milk in an ice...

Every now and then on a batch of CPOP soap I will get translucent edges. It is solid like soap and has no zap. It is just a clearish solid that seems to surface. Would this be a bit of natural glycerin byproduct?

I'm still trying to get information around before making my first batch of liquid soap. I have Catherine Failors book ordered, but it probably wont be here for another week. Here are my questions: 1. Is there a recommended recipe for a liquid dishwashing soap? Or would a simple castile be...

I make massage/lotion candles - I have found that Brambleberry's Nature Wax and New Directions's Aromatics Eco Soya both worked very well for me.

Hello! My name is Courtney and I'm from Northeast Indiana, near both the Michigan and Ohio state lines. I love making CP, CPOP, MP Soaps along with body care products, lotion bars, homemade household products, deodorant . . . and any other thing I can think of. :) Like others, I'm an addict...

Am I having bad luck or is this just a fluke? Anyone have experience ordering from www.thelyeguy.com ? I ordered Potassium Hydroxide from him on the 26th of July. So far, the only thing I've gotten is my paypal receipt email. No confirmation, no shipping notice, NOTHING. I emailed him...

Have any of you ever used the "Totally Toddler" line of laundry products? I really wish I could get a dupe or find a way to recreate that scent. It is different than dreft scent. I looked on fragranceoilfinder and scentforum with no luck. Any suggestions?

I would really like to make a few synergy blends - particulary a Thieves Blend and Purification blend such as Young Living carries. They are so expensive to purchase - and I have all the essential oils, but do not know the concentration and amounts of each oil for the blends. Does someone have...

No this is completely a bitter, tart, metallic tang/twinge. So hard to describe . . . I'm hoping it will just mellow. I'll leave it another week and tongue test again.

Just made my first batch of CP soap this past weekend, the 16th. I've unmolded, sliced, and set to cure. I did the "zap" tongue test and not sure what kind of results I'm getting. To me, it seemed like my soap was tart and a metallic sort of taste/sensation. Like if you licked a penny. (not...
