My first FO I used in soap was a DG Blue type. It still reminds me of a luscious seaside resort. This is my Ocean Blue

I know it is to late for an entry but I just wanted to post what I finally got to do. I am in the North East of Victoria Australia. The Australian bush is where I feel most at home and of course as an Aussie beer had to be involved. This is my Bush Beer Soap. The colours are of our ghost gums...

Great feedback. I am now googling madly to understand your ingredients (the maths I get, I am an accountant, far, far from away from science) . Your description of the dehydrated soap texture and behaviour is spot on to mine. I have now taken a leaf from your experiment, and I have taken a...

My recipe is a really old one so maybe before soapcalc was a thing? I get zero zap after 1/2 hour of cooking, although I cook for a minimum of 1 hr. My PH sits at around 9. The idea of replacing some (apparently up to half) of the glycerin with lactic acid was from someone who dared to reveal...

Well mine is in a small pot on the shower shelf (open), after a couple of weeks it was the reduced content level that caught my eye first, then realised it was solidifying. I would say it has now reduced by 1/2. It is not totally solid now, more like a dense paste. It seems to have stopped now...

Happy to indulge your nosey-ness. I am looking to improve future batches. I have not added anything, including water from the initial cook. So far I have 8 batches, and all 8 are behaving slightly differently, even though I used the exact same ingredients. Slightly Different cooking times maybe...

Agreed it is the end user (and I do it too). I will put a notice on the label. I haven't sold any yet, as my first batch is only 4 months old, so I can add to the label design Yes my recipe is very similar to Lindy's, except I use 1% Kaolin, and 1% powdered sugar, and I blend them into the...

Thanks DeeAnna, I wondered whether liquid soap would be the same (I haven’t ventured down that rabbit hole yet). I was looking for something to replace some of the water, but not affect the lather. I am guessing it doesn’t exist.

Thanks, there doesn’t seem to be many cream soap makers anywhere. I have read (I think) every cream soap thread on the forum, and haven’t had any luck finding an answer. I guess I will have experiment myself. Ugh everything to do with the cream process takes sooo long, I was hoping for a quick...

Hi, I have made quite a few batches of cream soap, and I am really happy with my recipe. Is there any kind of additive that will keep the cream soap from turning to a (soft) solid. This only happens if the lid is left off the container, but not everyone puts the lid back on after use.
