Yes, from the rinsing. But we soak the rice after all the dirt is off so it's one of the last rinses.
The rice soap mentioned uses rice water total liquid replacement, rice puree and rice powder.
Thanks, Dawni! I’ll give it a try.

what ratio did you use if you don't mind me asking
I made my very first all lavender--HP with goats milk. its still warm in the mold. it actually smells pretty good--I think I might have been bashing lavender without reason--will see when I cut

I have an Egyptian geranium that I want to try....after I make my batch of apricot freesia. I was going to mix the geranium with some lavender but I used it all. I read the geranium is better in the soap than OOB--I sure hope so
Well, I had a bunch of friends over and we made a basic soap recipe!
Was a blast! Coffee, roses, tobacco flower, dirt, etc

Banging out soap for shows in late Oct. Mainly because I added a show that I had not planned on. So just to make sure that I am not out of most of the best sellers I have to get on it .
It's an Apple Fest so obviously I need to do more of Apple Pie, Apple, and a few other Fall scents

Nothing soapy in way too long. Have my last show for the year next weekend. Need to make some sugar scrubs and bath bombs. I don't have a lot of soap left but will have to make due. It sold like gangbusters two weeks ago at a show. Made 10 x my booth fee for the weekend.
I'm curious: Do you use EO or FO for this soap?
This is really intriguing! How long do you soak the rice? Is there a certain kind of rice you use?

There are a lot of scents that everyone seems to love..and I dont care for them At All..litsea, lemongrass, rose geranium, ....citronella of course....they all remind me of bug spray of some kind..so each person has their own likes and such. I Love all the conifers, even the pine that smells like the lumber aisle at Home Depot.
SO super cool!!!@Lin19687 oh look at all those pretty endcuts in front of your soaps... j/k please lose my address
I got to unmold my latest rimmed soap attempt. I'm beyond thrilled with it. The buttons are CP (I had a huge embed making session in May or June to use up an odd qty of masterbatch that I had) and the rims are made with soap dough. I had to mold each individual strand (I used an actual mold, so don't think I'm a master artist) and stacked them into a round cavity mold trying not to smoosh the design but getting everything tight so it wouldn't leak. The bottom pic, you can see the two in the background had some leakage and smushing but those were my first two that I stacked, the last four that I did had no leakage and minimal smushing. I adore them. My daughter and the two nieces living with us suggested that I do a "super fruity rainbow", so I think I will let them help me with that on Sunday night. I can get the soap dough made tonight and they can help roll it and mold it on Sunday.
Impressive work!
Cut my drop swirl done with my FAVORITE scent...lingonberry spice (BB)
I'm happy now.

I use FO, so I don't have a ratio. I'm a huge fan of the BBW scent and while Nature's Garden isn't spot on with their version, I actually prefer it to the original. I just finished up the 8oz bottle I bought around a year ago. Well worth it!! Everyone adores it.
