You're right! Thank you Earlene!

There are sooo many benefits to it as it contains over 90 minerals our body needs. It's either taken internally by spoonful or by mixing it into a smoothie or food, some people take it powdered in capsules, and in the beauty industry people use it for skin care. You make a good point that it is...

I am preparing to make a seamoss soap for the first time. I've prepared a seamoss gel to incorporate into the soap as part of my water weight. I am aware that many people have successfully made seamoss soap but I'm wondering if it's a good use of expensive seamoss. My concern is that the sodium...

Thank you!

That's really good to know! Thank you!

Thank you, I will! Question, when you use something other than distilled water in your lye mixture, when the water evaporates does whatever else you used in it evaporate as well? For example if I used a coffee lye solution what is really left over after cure from the coffee? Or in my case with...

Okay will do!! It's such a beautiful soap I want it to work so bad. I'll wait to use it again until after cure.

I made it only 3 days ago

In case anyone asks, it's not burning it's a slight cooling sensation.

I made a fun Ginger, Carrot and Turmeric Soap for your face. I used homemade ginger tea as part of my lye water solution. I did a lather test and the antiseptic properties of Ginger is very strong right now on my skin. Should I expect it to become more gentle with curing since the water will...

That's really good advice, thank you!!

I can't wait to try them in my lotions!

Thank you! I haven't thrown them away, I didn't plan to! Everything is well with them! I used it last night for a pre-cure lather test and in the shower it was awesome. No zaps included lol

I use NOW branded essential oils. What do you think of those?

Thank you! But I don't believe it's lye water. I believe it was just essential oil . It's dried since then (within 12 hours) and I used it last night without getting burned.

😲 Oh my goodness!!! Well, I tasted it last night after it had gone away and thankfully it only tasted like soap. Even did a day 1 lather test and all is well!

@Zing Sorry I was half asleep writing back last night. I have no idea if it heated up or not. I let them harden in my hall closet to keep them away from everyone! Lol. I didn't check on it until 24 hours later then I let it sit for another 12 hours before cutting. But the new Rose Clay one was...

Can you tell me what the rain was about for you? Could it have been the humidity? Luckily it's all gone from my tops now!

Okay! I'll try it out for myself then on my next batch. Thank you!

@Zing thank you! A soap maker on YouTube mentioned it in a video I was watching. She said that out would be a waste of EO to gel your cp soap because it would all burn off. I also read it here: Essential oils and temperature
