    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Worked on a new vegan recipe. This was an attempt at a flower design that totally did not work at all! But it still looks cool. Scented with lemon and lime.

I think I’m...

    Any feedback for my facial soap recipe?

In fact, sometimes Ill use more essential oil at an ounce per pound depending on the oil. But keep the superfat the same And as far...

    Any feedback for my facial soap recipe?

    my bad I totally forgot 😅 The water was substituted for a 50/50 blend of goats milk and aloe Vera, I used one ounce each of turmeric, tea tree, and lavender essential oil, and oatmeal and rose clay for the additives. I also just realized I made meat soap lol

    Any feedback for my facial soap recipe?

    Thank you 👌🏿 This makes a lot of sense! And yeah I have enough I was going to do a salve as well. I just wanted a matching soap to go with it.

    Any feedback for my facial soap recipe?

    I see......thanks for your answers. And yeah, the water thing was a mistake. It was supposed to be 2:1. Not sure how that happened you guys don’t like my recipe, I think I have different beliefs about soap. But I’ll definitely make a smaller batch and let you all know how it turns out.

    Any feedback for my facial soap recipe?

    Good evening everyone! Now, I know this recipe is going to look a little crazy. That’s kind of what I’m going for here lol. It’s an experiment, but I spent a lot of money on these oils so I didn’t want to commit some grave mistake before I went ahead lol. I am planning on substituting the water...

    What is Yoni soap? What makes a soap safe for the ****** ?

    I’m saying! 😅 this makes a lot of sense. I am going to look up more information on surfactants. Thank you for your input! I want to try making a ******l soap, I guess I’ll go for a heavy olive oil formula, since I don’t use palm oil. So many of these Instagram brands are claiming to be able to...

    What went wrong with my pumpkin soap?

    It really could’ve been anything but it looks like my soap riced and partial gelled pretty badly. my recipe was 25% coconut oil, 25% olive oil, 18% pumpkin seed oil, Shea butter 10%, cocoa butter 10%, castor oil 10%, and 2% beeswax. I used frozen goats milk for the water at 33% of oil weight...
