Hi Aiden, I was wondering if you would share your recipe with me for your body wash? I'm new and can't seem to find any recipes. Thank you

Hi, I haven't been on here for awhile but am wondering if anyone has a good recipe for a men's body wash? I saw one company whose ingredients are Aloe Vera Juice*, Coconut Oil*, Potassium Hydroxide, Olive Oil*, Glycerin, Sunflower Oil*, Guar Gum, Rosemary Extract, Shea Butter*, Citric...

Hi, I've been wanting to make soy candles for a while but still definitely a newbie. Does anyone have a good recipe or advice to make say an 8 oz rosemary and cedar candle? How much of each essential oil would I use?

I want to start making candles for around the house mostly as a hobby. I have paid some attention to problems with different types of waxes. You have paraffin, soy, palm or blends like paraffin/soy. I think the other problem is that certain types of waxes are better than others depending on...

Just curious to see what people's opinions are on the use of bar soap over body wash? I know that that we make homemade soaps because of better ingredients but I keep getting the argument that bar soaps are more drying because of sodium hydroxide than the typical body wash....now maybe I...

Hello. I started researching soap making a few years back and had come up also with a name I wanted to use should I begin to sell. I purchased thedirtyboysoapcompany.com a few years back and now see similar names such as dbsoaps.com for dirty Boy soap as well as a separate dirty Boy soaps on...

Long way off from using this but drew this up in my free time as an idea for a future business. Any comments or suggestions?

I came across a relatively new soap company called fat& lye who use a round tube soap mold as I am planning to use. They are already launched as a company where I am still starting out. They are in Seattle and I am on Vancouver Island. What I am wondering is would it be ok to use the same...

Bloody auto correct...sheesh lol

Just wondering what diapers prefer making for those with sensitive skin? Do you make neem oil soap, a honey soap or an aloe Vera soap?

Thank you guys. I will probably start with a 2 lb recipe. I was able to borrow one that has these amounts.....10% Castor Oil, 60% Olive Oil, and 30% Coconut Oil. Do I just plug those percentages into a lye calculator to get the amount of lye and the amount of each oil in oz? Or am I still...

Hello, I am new and hate math. I am trying to figure out a basic soap recipe for a 5 LB mold using only Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, and Palm Oils. I will be using activated charcoal for a colorant and Anise Oil for an EO. What perplexes me is how to figure out the percentages on a lye calculator...

Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between Palm kernel oil and Palm oil in what it does in your soap recipes? Or is it just the same thing?

I am curious to know what is your determining factor choosing ingredients for your soaps. Is a bar that has 7 ingredients really all that different than one that only has 3? Would using less ingredients not be better so that you can sell your soaps to folks without a high price tag? I've seen...

Does anyone know of an activated charcoal soap recipe just using 100% olive oil? I'd like to make men's soap using less ingredients and 100 percent olive oil seems to be the way. I'd like to avoid palm oil as I'm sure if I were to sell the bars one day, some may not wish to purchase bars with...

I am wondering since just being new at soap making what do people suggest as good starter molds? A single bar plastic mold or a silicone bar sheet mold that would make 6 or more. I want to make standard size soap bars.

I am just getting back into soap making and was wondering if I used silicone soap molds is there a technique to smooth out the open side of the mold?

Can anyone direct me to a recipe for 100% tea Tree Oil Soap bars?

Hi.....wanted to introduce myself as a newbie to the soap making world. My girlfriend and I have always been interested in natural products and after buying some locally made soap I thought that I might give it a go as a hobby. What really has my attention are the shave bars as an alternative...
