    Need help finding a natural orange colorant

    Katsbe, thank you for your interest but I don’t have any of my pumpkin soap at this time. I usually make it in the fall and winter.😊

    Need help finding a natural orange colorant

    I use pumpkin (frozen) as a replacement for 100% of the water and get a deep orange color. It is very conditioning bar that leaves your skin feeling very soft.

    How are you offsetting the cost of Olive Oil?

    I've always had a similar problem. My soaps seem to stay soft longer when using my all silicone molds. Freezing does help me be able to get the log out sooner without denting it or having it stick, and it keeps it from gelling, which I prefer. I also started lining the length of the mold with...

    I understand about your knees. I'm setting up a crafting/sewing room and thought about using a large spare coffee table for cutting fabric but the thought of doing that on my knees or bending over didn't sound fun! Your cushion looks great!

    First soap with salt and clay

    How does this look???

    I agree with Shelly D.....a small amount (about pea size) shea butter rubbed in when your hands are still slightly damp from washing can help a lot. I have found it creates a barrier that protects my hands at my next washing and has kept my hands from cracking in the winter. She can play around...

    Weird partial gel???

    Aictopus, I just cut my soap and found a similar phenomenon. I used alkanet root as my colorant, lavender essential oil as my scent, and added kaolin clay. I soaped at 100 degrees and put it in the freezer to keep it from gelling. My soap partially gelled but instead of the usual darker, more...
