    SMF June 2024 Un-Challenge – A Favorite Song

    I am a bit of a procrastinator when it comes to due dates (like I have to give a lecture next Monday and instead of preparing my slides i am soaping 🙃). The good news is: One soap batch is done 🎉 and I can cut it tomorrow. And a cousin of mine wanted me to show her how to make soap, so perhaps...

    2nd soap and I guess it was false trace

    Hello @ all! So I have been influenced by so many soap makers via YouTube and thought I give cp soap a try as I only did melt and pour before. As I am a scientist I thought what could possibly go wrong (lol) and studied many mistakes (gel phase, soda ash, dos, glycerin rivers and so on) before...
