cp soap

I am a beginner in Cp soap making Now I am planning to make a cp soap. My available oil s. palm olien, Canola, coconut oil, castor oil and rice Bran oil. Can any one make me some perfect, moisturizing and nourishing recipe from these oils? Thanks in advance

So I’ve read all the threads/posts and seem to be doing everything I know to prevent stearic acids spots, but keep getting them. Picture attached. I melt my hard oils (coconut & shea butter) well above 185degrees for several minutes before adding the rest of my oils (olive oil, soybean, rice...

So, I've been using a bar of CP soap from my 4th or 5th batch (I'm new to all of this) and for the last 2 days I've got dry skins on my arm. Just one arm, and just this batch. It's a honey soap with cinnamon FO (not EO) at only 3% PPO. Right before this one I used another soap (from another...

Hello everyone... Seeing that a lot of people use castor oil in their soaps, I have some questions. How significant is the effect of 5% castor oil in CP soap? What is the main reason to include castor oil? Is it the lather or the benefits for the skin or something else? I'm using only palm...

I know I get distracted by the new and different, and that's fine... (My 50+ miles of yarn from my knitting days can hint at how easily distracted I can get...) I currently have the funds to mess around a bit and experiment with small batches of fun soap recipes without putting my family...

Hiii all! I’ve been researching into the acids made up in soap, oleic, palmitic etc. I’m hoping someone can confirm whether or not I’m correct in thinking a soap with a higher linoleic acid and lower oleic value is better suited to the face? And Oleic better for the body? Or am I talking...

Hello, I accidentally overheated my oils in the microwave. I usually do the double boiler method but this time I melted my oils in the microwave for 5 minutes and when I checked the temperature it was at 300 degrees. I am letting it cool down to room temperature but I don’t know if this will...

Dear all, I try to find myself in the soapCalc ( it's a bit of rocket science for beginners :oops:). I stick to the rules that are explained on the website however I couldn't find any information about at what temperature I should mix lye and oils. I'm testing lots of recipes at this moment...

Hi everyone! So I found a recipe by the Soap Queen (Back to Basics: Simple & Gentle Cold Process Soap - Soap Queen) and have made it twice. Both times the soap is brittle and cracks when I cut it. The first time I added FO and ground orange peels. The second time I added FO and coffee...

So last night I made my second batch of CP soap ever and decided that I was going to attempt pine tar soap!! o_O I know crazy right! In for a penny in for a pound! I researched for days first and decided on a recipe of oils that we love and that I thought would create a nice soap!!! I added some...

I've only made some candles and MP soaps But wow CP is too much, I'm still learning here though I'm glad I finished my first loaf of CP soap! There's lots to learn Phewww Hopefully I can make my own recipe some time for my kids having a really bad eczema.

These are my high Shea Butter Facial bars and the only odd-size bars I make. The Butterfly soaps are in a new mold I purchased from Aliexpress. The Basket is one I decided to finish after a couple of years, that I found after going cleaning out some stuff. It really is not crooked it just looks...

On Christmas day (12-25-19) I tested my Lard soap bars. It had been 31 days since I made them and I really didn't expect them to be fully cured. My original plan was to let them cure to the 15th of January. The soap made bubbles and washed my hands well but it left a greasy film. I didn't feel...
