Thank you. Question, if I add it to the lye and it melts, will it still have a cooling sensation to the skin??

Amazing post. Wondering if you or anyone else has made a cream with menthol in it as a summer cream to cool the skin, if so, would you share the recipe. I don’t sell products, I make them to enjoy myself.

Is the link.

I have the same problem. What temperature do you get you lye to when you pour into your oils? I love the swirls of the soap but with my batter so (oatmeal) thick I haven’t attempted any of these beautiful designs.

Simple is beautiful.

While waiting for my liquid soap to dilute, I made a Mango sugar scrub. I used a fine grind sugar because regular sugar seems a little to ruff on my skin. I used grape seed oil. It’s very moisturizing.

Question about olive oils. My first batch was made with extra virgin and the second just I plain oil. The soap color is different. The extra virgin made the soap a brown soap and the plain oil made a nice lite yellow. Here is the question, has anyone else found this, or did something go wrong...

We In San Antonio, Texas gas is 3.90/ gal. Diesel is 4.57/gal. In the last week it has been up and down, but over all it’s up 0.54/gal. ᑕᖇᗩᘔY!! look at Volkswagen they have a new hybrid.

I am new to this soapy thing and man have I gone all in. I was looking for a way to make my all natural dog shampoo have more lather and thicker. I discovered the dual lye soap paste and made it this weekend. It did it! It made the lather and thickness I needed. I am surprised at just how easy...

The pH is 6.8 as tested so not concerned there. I am wondering if the cornstarch is why it wont lather.

I make dog shampoos. I cant seem to get a nice soapy lather. I need help. I use thickened water (I use cornstarch), castle soap, Aloe Vera juice, vegetable glycerin, coconut oil, and essential oils. It cleans but no lather. Please, any suggestions would be helpful.
