Mango butter is so expensive! I only added it to “harden” the sunflower oil addition, which I really want to add (I found it’s cheaper than OO). The above recipes are based on a 6% super fat and 2:1 water lye solution

Forgive me if this is in the wrong category. Moved My last recipe, I found that my bar “melted” quite quickly due to the hardness being 39 and my longevity being 25. What is the “typical” hardness and longevity that you all like to soap at? Does adding salt water help increase...

Thank you!

This may be a silly question “Composition/ information ingredients: Substances Synonyms: Caustic Soda Formula: NaOH Molecular Weight: 40.00g/mol Chemical Name % Sodium Hydroxide 100” Does this mean my sodium hydroxide has a purity of 100%?? I’ve heard that’s very seldom

Hey everyone, I’m trying to do the ghost swirl but it is definitely doing a number on my brain lmao I made the original recipe using 30% lye thinking this would be less math for me but it’s still so confusing. My recipe is as follows (using 30% lye concentration) Olive oil: 176.84g Shea...

Is there a reason you did not like it? I just made a small trial batch of Zany’s recipe (without using the breastmilk). Tallow and breastmilk would be my go to for this recipe tbh, I love anything with tallow in it! Next experiment hahah

I’m so sorry if I’m posting in the wrong area (should I be posting in recipe feedback??) Moved My sister has requested a breastmilk soap so I was thinking of using Zany’s Castile Soap recipe as follows: Olive oil: 374.67g Faux sea water: 50.23g Lye: 50.23g Breastmilk: 35.16g I was...

Thank you!!

Hi all! I recently submitted my CNF for the first time. I’m a little bit confused as to whether I can sell right away or have to wait for approval? I’ve heard mixed answers and was hoping to get it clarified so I’m following the regulations to a T. I am also located in Canada if that makes a...

Oops! I meant too oily, I was thinking about the texture being just the right hardness and didn’t proofread before I submitted! Since it’s the right texture, I’m sure adding more arrowroot would stiffen it up even more. I will try this! Thank you! I’ve been focussing on max 70% butters to 30%...

I recently made a body butter with Mango Butter - 34% Shea Butter - 34% Avocado Oil - 9.5% Hemp Oil - 9.5% Sunflower Oil - 9.5% Calendula Extract - 1.5% Arrowroot - 2.2% it still seems pretty oily, but it’s at the right texture as hardness goes. Is there anything I can do??

Thank you all for such great feedback! 😊 I am excited to get started!

Would this be better than buying from lets say Windypoint or Soap and More?? Thank you!!

It would be colloidal oats! Sorry I should have specified! :) Another question, could I use the coconut milk powder to make coconut milk and then use that in place of all the water?? or should I keep some water in the recipe?? ps: looking at this from a beginners standpoint, what would be...

I am looking at making a kids soap that has gentle ingredients. I am stuck as to what my recipe should be. I am almost thinking that it has too many things in it... It looks like this: Olive Oil – 50% – 391.46g Coconut Oil – 20% – 156.58g Shea Butter – 20% – 156.58g Sunflower Oil – 10% –...
