Perfectly fine.

Well, after over 3 years I’m going to try to get back to making some soap. It’s been a long road. Lots has happened. Looking forward to contributing again. Good to see so many familiar people still here

Happy New Year!

What a lovely home! Congratulations!!! Hope you are doing well!!!

I did 70/30 and a 6% sf. I personally didn’t like it all that much. I have a few bars left somewhere and they are 5 or 6 years old now. But I’m not fond of high olive soap at all.

Love Spell from NG is great. I've used it several times for wedding favors. I've also done Raspberry Lemonade from WSP, and Blackraspberry Vanilla from Peak (out of business) and Passionate Kisses from NG. Can't help you with clays to color.

Hello and welcome Spike!

Night and day between the two. CP soap is soap not shampoo in my personal opinion. I tried it years ago and it totally ruined my hair. Went from shoulder length to just a bit longer than a pixie. I don’t recommend it

You can make a really nice bar of soap with your ingredients. I made soap with 40% Lard, 20% CO, 10% Shea, 5% castor and 25% either olive or avocado or even a split. I don’t use more than 25-30% Olive if I use it as I’m not a fan of high olive oil soaps.

What superfat did you use? That’s similar to my recipe and I don’t experience any of that. I generally care my soaps linger though too. 6-8 weeks. Just a personal choice. 20% coconut May also be too much for your skin as everyone is different.

I have Buds single and multi bar cutters. They are top notch. I’ve had mine for many years now and still in perfect condition.

Love them!

I too think using expensive ingredients and EO in soap is a waste of money. Better in leave on product. However, if selling, your going to find your customers are going to want lavender, lilac and familiar scents. Making A good quality soap will get you customers and keep them. I do use some...

I agree with lsg. Soap washes off. I’m one who hates any high olive oil recipe. It dries my skin out terribly. You may want to formulate a different recipe.

Cocoa butter is harder. I would use less.

Very cool!

Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome! I agree that what you’ve posted is a really advanced process. It’s pretty much MP soap from scratch. I recommend making a simple soap and getting some experience first. I for one wasn’t impressed with Lush but did like some of their fragrances. I’d just dupe the scent...

Fresh Kielbasa and cabbage.

I too try to match my colors to the fragrance. I use Nurture Soap micas or Micas and More. I’ve never used Brambleberry.
