Campbell’s soup 🥫

Hello 👋🏻 😊 Sandpoint is so lovely!

drive-in 🎥 🍿 Would you rather go through a hurricane 🌀 or a tornado? 🌪️

Apparently, I’ve been blessed by the 🧼 ✨🧚🧚! I didn’t put much thought into my salt bars and them sweating. I live in the Pacific Northwest with low humidity. Bad for skin but apparently good for making salt soaps. I made two batches, back to back a few months ago, no sweating.😅 However, it’s now...

If you have access to palm oil you won’t need to use faux sea water. You can just make 33% palm oil recipe that @Kari Howie listed above (copied below) and use plain distilled water. 33% Coconut oil 33% Palm oil 16% Canola oil 14.9% Olive oil 3% Castor oil The faux sea water in ZNSC is to...

@Awru If you have access to palm oil, I’d recommend @Kari Howie recipe above. If not and olive oil isn’t too expensive then go with high olive oil recipe with long cure time. I do love rice bran oil, but again for 1st soap it should be simple soap. I myself would have a hard time waiting 6months...

Besides coconut oil, what hard oils do you have access to? For 1st CP batch ever, I’d recommend a tried and true recipe rather than going through the process of formulating one on your own. If only have access to oils above, I’d go simple for first soap. For example: olive oil, coconut oil &...

Tri Tip 🥩

Update: I have uncolored, long black/brown/gray hair and with the gray came what I not so lovingly call my “witchy hairs”. The hair that frames my face that has gone gray gets frizzy & “witchy” looking without product or purposeful curling. Well not today or yesterday. I don’t know if it’s the...

I do NOT sell my soap but pretty sure adding kaolin does not take your soap and turn it into a cosmetic. You hit the nail on the head about not making any claims about what X additive will “do” for user. Someone that sells soap will surely chime in, but in the mean time, have you checked this...

Ditto 🥰

I made a cold brew soap nut shampoo (@ request of DD) and a separate citric acid hair rinse. I have gray/black hair and had been recently using a sulfate free shampoo/conditioner for gray hair specifically. It’s leaving my hair feeling as if I’d forgotten to wash out the conditioner. Today I...

At 1st glance…The coconut oil is too high for myself and friends with dry skin. Also, I think there is an error above. You listed fragrance at 31%. Did you mean to type in 3%? I’ve never put more than 5% of any scent in my CP soaps. The water percentage is high. I typically use 2:1 water/lye...

😊 Thank You 😊@KiwiMoose. I’ve gone down a rabbit 🐇 🕳️ of reading and I do think a syndet shampoo bar may be the product my DD will ultimately settle on for shampoo ease of use. However, I don’t have the special extra ingredients that syndet bars call for on hand at the moment, so I’m going to...

You are correct about the no preservative in recipe and typically single use recipes. The soapwart recipe did mention freezing a batch in ice cube trays for future use. Soap Nuts are multi use, so I may grab a bag, give DD a 🧼 🌰, for folks with hard water, cold brew, recipe to try out...

In same book that had the solid shampoo bar, I came across soapwort liquid shampoo recipe that’s super basic, which I like. Maybe I should start another thread about swapping soap nuts for soapwort? Or just abandon shampoo bars completely & try both soap nuts vs soapwort in basic liquid shampoo...

Fantastic. I’m doing it. Just picking them up randomly to sniff (we r sniffers in this family) & 👀 is not Enuf! 😆
