Thanks, Hazel- Oh - wow can't believe soap calc had it listed. I am going to stick with coconut oil, palm oil and olive oil for a while- I think. I was just irritated because I could not find palm oil locally till someone told me about spectrum shortening.

Chay: Though your tone I feel, is meant to be condescending - thanks for your concern. I really have done research over the past 4 years. I have made soap WITH someone - (but we never did HP) I have been under cancer treatment and this is the first time I am well enough to do it on my own. I...

Jezzy, yes- thanks. I have seen that tut and thought it was a good one. Appreciate the recipes. The thing about using a shortening combo is that I can't tell how much of each oil is in the can and soap calc is wonderful but I would need to know what persentage of which oils are in the...

OK guys. I hear you.

Yeah! Thanks - I will look for Spectrum! Thanks so much!

Oh yes, yes, Nancy - I understand... I wish I could covey a voice tone with my posts - I don't feel discouraged. I feel all are trying to be helpful. I know what you guys mean about the cure. My situation is a bit different. I sell at a very small local Farmer's Mkt where I have a specific...

I want to use it and cannot find it - Does anyone know what shortening that might be available in the grocery store is 100% palm oil?

I wouldn't dream of selling any soap that was not safe and of good quality. I have all the M & P stuff in my booth but what I love is "Real" soap - the age old kind. I know how to zap test and I know how to check pH so please understand that I am not a nut - just have quite a few references...

Oh Nancy - Thanks , but sadly I do not have a Whole Foods near me - 2 hours away from one, I think. I do have a Martin's and a Kroger...anyone know if they have a brand?

I live in a small rural community and I called all over today to find Palm oil - nobody had it...what kind of shortening is palm oil - What is Crisco shortening?? The original HP recipe I have is co 20oz, oo20oz, po 26oz, distilled water24oz and lye 9.5 oz.... I just could not find the palm oil...

OK. So I will stick with the M & P to sell right now - but I will begin my journey with HP tomorrow. I want to fill a 2 lb mold. I want to use the crock pot. Do-able? Can anyone tell me a recipe they use - specifically....how many oz of oo, how many oz of co...how much lye and water...be...

I need to make soap tomorrow - Someone please help me. I will be a first timer. I want to make HP crock pot soap so it will be ready to sell on Saturday. I have Coconut oil and olive oil...is there a recipe to share? Can I use the same recipe for CP as HP?? Help me please. Thanks so much.

I did get a stick blender and I think I have protective eye wear here somewhere. The crock pot is the age old tall -skinny (well, not really skinny) one - I know it's dumb but I have no idea what that holds. Was I crazy to think I could make soap on Monday afternoon and cut it late that...

I am selling soap at our local Farmer's Market and have been doing M&P soap. I would like to do HP crock pot soap since it won't have to cure long. I am new - advice? Recipe? I have the lye, distilled water and coconut and olive oil on hand - Is there a recipe just using these things? Will...
