    Will this soap be too soft?

    Thank you, DeeAnna. I gave the soap maker some specifications like "moisturizing and not too harsh". I thought she knew what she was doing. I ordered the soap around mid Feb. It arrived mid March, then I waited until yesterday to try it, so pretty sure it's not lyre. They were rock solid when...

    Will this soap be too soft?

    Hi, I have a couple of questions. 1. So, I ordered some soap bars from a soap maker, and the soap turned out to be drying and I itched all over my torso after using it. Is it because the their recipe is too cleansing? Pretty sure 25 is too high. The SF is rice bran. I have to wash my body...

    (Cold Process) Soap smells rancid when used but smelled fine before use

    Hello all, I'm new to soap making and looking for advice. About 3 weeks ago, I made two batches of cold process soaps and added fragrance oil as scents. Today, I tried it and was kind of disappointed. While it washed well like a regular soap with pretty good lather, it smelled different. Before...
