Very pretty soap, Grere, but cinnamon is very sensitizing so I'm anxious to see how this amount of the powder works in soap once you lather up to use it.
She was in tears. Both of us suffered burns that took some time to heal.

One time I started drinking my coffee with cinnamon in it. Loved it but after two days my gums were bright red and bleeding. It took over a week to get them back to normal. I am now very careful when I do use cinnamon in my soaps even though it gets washed off. I didn't swirl the coffee in my mouth before I swallowed but it sure did a job on my gums, so I figure it has to be the same for soaps. I hope you don't have a reaction.
Done! No issues at all thankfully.
Would like to know more about this soap!
SHORT STORY: I was in a swap once where one of the participants made "Extreme Cream" scented with cinnamon. I opened it as soon as it arrived and applied it to the crease above my eyelid because it was itchy. YEOW! Instant pain. I ran to the sink to deluge it with cold water. No sooner had I done that, when the phone rang. A fellow soaper called to report the same thing happened to her, only she had rosacea and spread the cream on her face!
I've used the powder before and have not had issues, but saying that - I do not have sensitive skin at all. I'll have my 'chief tester' sing out with any feedback - she get psoriasis and eczema.Very pretty soap, Grere, but cinnamon is very sensitizing so I'm anxious to see how this amount of the powder works in soap once you lather up to use it.

Just a head's up -- cinnamon should always be used with a light touch. Whether that also applies to the powder, we shall soon find out.
Thanks. Ive been cutting ok my bars are pretty soft which is good, its more the squeezing the bag when piping my hands get really crampy, its usually ok but I definitely think I need a bigger tip. I only started about 3 months ago so I have a lot to learn and definitely need to work on the piping skills lol its my own fault for trying to do something so complicated, the video I watched she made it look so easy lol I never really knew much about soap before really it was mostly cooking and stuff but theres only so much stuff you can cook and eat and making soap is much more fun.
