What soapy thing have you done today?

[Misschief]

Freshly zested lemon is a fragrance oil. I may be mistaken but I think it’s from NG?
ETA...I was wrong...it’s from WSP

In this case (I'm in Canada), it's from Candora.

Not soapy, but have spent the day researching lotion labeling. I'm a bit ahead of the horse as I haven't done the challenge testing yet, but labels are my nemesis.

good to know... Candora is just down the highway from me.

Just cut a family member's favourite soap - activated charcoal with tea tree, lavender & litsea EO

I cut my pink clay salt bar... looks pretty much like Holly's at Kapia Mera soap which is what I was going for. I wanted a little better top but it just wasn't setting up like I expected.

So beautiful!! Question: How long before you unmolded and cut? I make salt bars in individual molds but have been scared to try a salt loaf, for fear of missing the point of being able to cut. But it seems more efficient to make a loaf.

I too really like using the Avery website and templates

I made a big batch of Patchouli Orange soap last night. I had it out for the first time at last week's market and it sold out! That was a small batch. It's time to up my game!

I made a (2nd) batch of Tea Tree & Calendula - it's incubating atm... this is my last batch.

what is “incubating”?

Thank you! I only used 10% salt - I made it early afternoon and cut the next morning. It wasn't rock hard at all - easy to cut.

Not today, but yesterday... I soaped after not having made any soap for about a month. I made a brine soap scented with Blackberry FO from Aztec Candles. The FO smells so sweet and yummy, good enough to drink! Haha. Once I started separating ingredients, I realized I had actually forgotten to bring the new temp gun I bought (I soap at my boyfriend's house), but I was determined to proceed anyway. I may have soaped a little hot so it accelerated a bit, but I got the job done and I'm happy to be outta the slump.

Cut a batch of soap this morning. Broke 3 strings on my cutter. Of course I had just replaced the last two spare strings in my possession over the weekend, so I have to order more strings. I think I'll have hubby do the replacing this time as I'm pretty sure two of three that broke were the ones I just replaced so I'm obviously doing something wrong.

I just ordered a new soap cutter. I have a multi bar cutter that I like, but sometimes I want different sized soaps and this just can't do it - so I ordered a one-at-a-time soap cutter. Should be here next Tuesday! Yeah, I can't wait.

No, it's one of four wooden molds I purchased from a local soaper who decided to leave the "biz". It makes about 20 bars per batch.
