Thank you! I'll see how white the soap comes out using those oils without the TD

Hi everyone, So I'm interested in making white soap (cold process). I've heard that Titanium Dioxide (TD) is typical to use to help get that desired look. However, I'm conscious on my environmental footprint when making soaps, and I've heard TD may have a negative effect on marine life. TD is...

I ended up getting the metal stamp, because I want to also use it as an ink stamp and wax stamp. Later, may get one specifically for marking wood

Sorry, I don't quite understand. I'm still learning the acronyms

Was your question answered about adding the colorant to oil/butter, lye solution, or trace?

Good points. What's fake trace? Do you have skin sensitivity?

Wow, thanks for the forewarning. That info is invaluable. I wonder if my cutter (made out of metal) may oxidize my soaps faster I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for the info

Hi there, I make cold processed soap and recently experimented with kaolin clay for the first time. Implementing this clay got me thinking - what other ingredients would be good to add to a batch that is beneficial as a face soap? I want to make soap with ingredients that enhance the soap for...

What's DOS?

Hi there! I'm seeking help in finding a stamp that I can use for wax, clay, and soap bars. For more context, this would be my first stamp. I figured I could use this stamp sort of universally (so to speak). I found this stamp on Etsy. Is it worth it...

Got it, would you say it's more trial and error to get the color I'm looking for? Like if I'm looking for a light purple, I'd have to see how it comes out at each of those stages

At what stage in the cold process do you add the colorants?

Thank you! That does seem like a lot of work to get the ash

DeeAnna, That was excellent information - very knowledgeable. Thank you! I was indeed using natron to research historical soap. Where can I get more information about ash-based lye?

Thanks, I'll give that a look ☺️

I've made regular cold-processed soap (with lye), but I was interested in trying something different

Can someone help me get an answer here? I'm still a beginner when it comes to making soap, and I want to add kaolin clay to my next batch. When it comes to labeling and regulation, is kaolin clay considered a cosmetic ingredient? Would I need to mark my kaolin clay-infused soap as a...

Has anyone here used natron or baking soda (in place of lye) in soap making?

I’ll check those out. I figured the other “soap savers” gave a nice touch to the aesthetic. Also, I’m staying away from plastic products as much as possible

Do you rinse them out every week or so, and they still end up moldy? Do you currently use another type of soap rest?
