I am about to discover that and I will tell you as soon as I can. Not really. I feel like I'm illegal, guilty and start blabbering 'I did it!' to everything that I read or see on the news.

Hi Amy, I'm from Italy and I too make my soap and just like @Luriertjie I can confirm that any handcraft soap at least in Italy is equated to a cosmetic product therefore needs to be tested in lab and registered according to the Reg. UE n° 1223/2009 as Product information file registry. All the...

These are lovely, I wish I knew his to make it. I'd love to known the process.

Thank you Leanne! So useful!

Your video is really nice. I need to ask: how do you get that enviable runny batter? I can never get my batter runny and I always have to rush pouring it into my mold. Should I ask the question in another thread?
