Welcome Dotty.
I buy my lye from Bunnings and choose either Diggers or Mechanix, depending on which large container they have in store. I’ve not experienced any issues with either.
I only make CP soap and buy pop micas from - http://www.aussiesoapsupplies.com.au/Po ... c-137.html
I love the colours that these give my soaps and they can be mixed to make more shades.
Other products like … cocoa, paprika and tumeric, can be added to plan soap batter to add colour.
I prefer to gel, In spring, summer and autumn I cover my moulds with cling wrap and then wrap them in blankets and ‘put them to bed’ for about 24 hours. If it gets cold during winter, I put my moulds in the oven for two hours on 50 C and then leave them there for about 24 hours.
Questions are good! You’ll find there’s loads to read on this forum, plus the search function is a great help.
