Live this thread. I was under the impression that you could run grain neutral spirits through a pump (or high percentage isopropyl alcohol) in order to sanitize it. Anyone else heard of this?

Welcome! Skincare is equally addictive to soaping. I make all the mistakes, you will never be alone there. 😁

When you create a formulation there is checklist you go through to determine how likely it is to irritate skin. When I use your formulations and go through this checklist, each formulation has an increased risk score of 3 or 4 and a reduced risk score of only 1 (or 2) so if you have sensitive...

I patched them!! You are a genius. Thank you.

I love this! This sounds like body bliss. I have heard multiple times about walnut and haven’t found a local source either - brialliant repurposing of coffee grounds. Can you explain how to make soap dough from a solid bar? I used soapsorcery method. I would love to salvage these. I am so...

That makes sense, they will fly off your shelves - I imagine a music festival or two and you would be rich selling those. I see burning man in your future - my husband already wants to buy them and he is a picky dude. Thanks, it was a joyous PIMA. I will laugh at these for a while.

I am way too new to soaping to be getting into such projects but my Aunt is turning seventy and her late husband was Kevin. She loves minions and we always make light about the minion Kevin holding down the fort. I thought it could be fun to try making Kevin the minion soap for her birthday...

24 hours. Yes, that is the one - I am very new to soaping so I could be mixed up about the name.

Cold Process but I keep my oils warming in a crockpot so I can be slightly less chaotic and messy when I get to pouring. (I am a bit of a disaster naturally, soaping only accentuates this side of me) I did a batch the day before that was CPOP and wondered if that was crumbly because of the OP...

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing all the creations.

Yeah, I made a mess with my colourants. Lol. I went a bit squirrelly with feeling rushed when I changed my plan at the last second. It’s not sticky or gooey and not lye heavy - that I can tell. Crumbling right through. Going to rebatch it and see what happens. I have been going through all...

I have been biting off more than I can chew playing in my “lab” making soap and trying techniques inspired by the soap challenge and watching I Dream in Soap flawlessly execute some exquisite projects. I changed my masterbatch recipe - trying out new things everytime my crockpot empties - and...

Whoa! I don’t know if I am allowed to asked but are your pouring this like you would acrylic paints? These are amazing! I have serious soap envy…

I started with soap calc and just playing with different recipes and then printing and comparing results - trying to learn the qualities all the different oils provide. Lol. There are probably better ways to learn but it’s baby steps at this point. I am definitely trying to glean all the...

Amazing, thank you! I have wrapped it and shelved it. Trying to find a heating pad.

Thanks, I figure everyone loves seeing puppies. As per the soap, I have no idea. I pulled it out of the mold, cut it, then wrapped it back up. I kept these out for the sake of note taking. They are sitting next to a hot crockpot incase heat will help and maybe this is just gel phase? Just...

Hey!!! I am new around here and just started making CP soap, have made HP soap before but so far my adventures in CP have been exciting failures. I am a mom of two kids and two dogs living in Ontario, Canada. Studying cosmetic chemisty and hoping to turn something I love into a business...
