I have never thought of snails as cute but Gary is a real cutie.
My adventures into soap additives has been an interesting experiences,mostly bad ones.I have a bad habit of reading the recipe after it goes wrong
My husband has a philosophy that goes "If all else fails read the instructions"l am always having a go at him for it so please nobody tell him that the strange lumps and bumps in my soap aren't suppose to be there

Yes, I have not tried Malt Combing's but I am hoping this will be similar to Oatmeal. Still more leftovers from past hobbies. (rearing calves)

so far I haven't tried any bodily fluids. I know others have soaped with breast milk, tho.

urine, maybe?
and isn't there some sort of rain-forest beer made with saliva?

 

[ewepootoo]

I think I will stick with making soap out of edible ingredients and I am about 50 years too old for breast milk.

I will never disrespect another snail, now that I have met Gary.

I've been driving everyone nuts with all my "soap talk" so it was no surprise when a friend emailed me back asking if there was "anything you haven't tried in your soap?"

My response:

This is Gary by the way - he lives in my Tipi and is exceptionally social

PS: excuse the dirty nails, I'm 80% Mum, 20% Soaper & 6% Gardener - Yes that's an extra 6% I'm sure you've heard of superfatting

lol you are funny! ....


I try things as they pop into my mind

that's too weird. i just ran across the breast milk soap the other day, and now i read this (i didn't actually watch the video, just fyi)

that's like, just wrong. i'm a male, but even if i was a woman and had breast milk, i wouldn't use it on myself, and definitely wouldn't sell it (although i know there are breastmilk fetishers).

i care what reason you can come up with, it's just not right. no changing my mind on this one.

He may have been talking about the breast milk soap video, which I did watch. I don't think there is a human body fluid or substance "rich" enough to add to soap, including breast milk which is pretty watery.

I loved soaping a banana, and goat milk and most recently tomato. Nothing else is "calling' me yet.

I have actually seen soap somewhere that contained the saliva (or something???) from snails.
Apparently it has some kind of therapeutic benefits.
And no, I'm not joking.
I'll see if I can find it.

Incidentally, when i first started soaping, I'd soap anything, if it was edible it got soaped, if it was for skin it got soaped. If it was exfoliating, added colour, lather, fragrance, sparkels, anything, it got soaped. If it was a milk of any kind it got soaped. I've even made oat milk, rice milk, and of course soaped them.
These days I'm happy with my olive, palm , coconut recipe.
Back to basics for me.

Artisan, apparently that's the "Cycle of a Soaper".
We all come full circle eventually.
