Yep I did that

Thanks!

I've noticed my soap is feeling more tacky, it seems to have happened after switching from sodium citrate to citric acid. I dilute the citric acid in about 30ml of water before adding to lye water. Can diluting it in too much water affect the reaction?

Does a higher superfat make soap more tacky? What made you switch to 3% instead of 5%?

I've been struggling with my candles. I'm using soy/coconut container wax, my container is 3.5 oz and the diameter is 2.5 inches. If I use one wick I don't get a complete pool and if I use 2 wicks it burns too hot and too quickly. I'm using a pre tabbed wick used for candles with a diameter of...

Is it possible to add poly 80 to liquid dish soap to help cut the grease?

That is so cute and creative!! it even looks like there's snow swirling around him ☃️

The soap on the left looks like rainbow sherbet :) " I was worried but all good" Ain't that the truth!

Wow thats your second soap awesome! Nice wavy layers :) I also use a 1lb mold 👍

I made soaps for my first craft fair :) My aunt sells honey and said I could pack a box of my stuff to sell at her table. It's out of town so I won't be there but I'm still nervous! I messed up so many times and got very discouraged and nearly gave up but I'm glad I didn't! I'm so grateful to...

Does anyone know where to get food grade mica flakes for a good price?

Have you ever masterbatched the additional water with the sugar and sodium citrate? Or would that require a preservative?

This topic really interests me because I want to make a naturally scented soap without essential oils because I'm allergic. I'd be interested to know about other oils, water replacements, extracts or other additives that smell nice in unscented soap. Gotta try that cocoa butter chocolate soap!

OK cool next time I'll try that👍

It was me in the end😅 I was reading instructions from somewhere else that said not to heat it over 140 or let it boil. Today I chopped the pieces smaller and heated it to 200F and it worked 👍 So I was able to make some mothers day soaps after all :) Whats that saying? A shoddy workman always...

The soap had mostly melted and turned into what you see in the picture within a minute, almost like the soap was already burnt before hand. Interesting that someone else mentioned the same thing.

The melting point is 138 F... It's happening with the clear soap base too I also put a cube under water and it didn't even foam. It's all very suspicious👀 yeah I'll contact the supplier and see what's what.

I recently bought a white soap base by Stephenson and it just won't work. The first time I tried M&P I used the same brand but with shea butter and it did the same thing. It's not melting properly and it's hardening way too fast... I have used other brands so I know something is off I'm just not...

Thank you! 😁
