That's awesome thanks. I am having trouble with soap scum. I quit superfatting because of it.

Thanks. I have hard water here so it's probably that. I just found the liquid soap making forum here. There is so much information. Someone recommended a book making natural liquid soaps so I ordered that too.

Irish Lass thank you so much

Makingcosmetics has so many ingredients. Brambleberry also

What oils besides castor and coconut do you all feel give you the most bubbles?? Also for liquid soap, when diluting the paste is 3:1 water[emoji14]aste the correct ratio??

Do you find that the neem smell fades as the bar cures?

I'm making an anxiety/sleep tincture right now with California poppy, and hawthorn berry. You make balms too? I'm looking for ideas on a baby butt balm. My best friend is expecting this summer :)

Oh my well forget that then! I'll stick to my extracts and tinctures.

I know I love it! Now I just need to learn how to make essential oils.

That looks great

OK great thank you. I'm so excited to have found this forum :)

Willow bark extract has salicylic acid in it I believe. That or crush up non coated asprin. That would be more for a face mask. Kaolin clay draws out impurities. Neem oil is good but smells bad.

Has anyone grown their own herbs for extracts or infusions? In my last lotion I infused chamomile, common nightshade, and nettle in the diffused water. It made a great lotion. Wanted to share that bc it saves money. I know around here in nw Indiana, we have a lot of herbs that grow wild.

OK thanks! Yeah I got percentages from the other site so I can make my own recipes. It's good bc now I can add or substitute ingredients. My girls and I are making a bath body candle baskets for Christmas gifts. Always fun

Boy she sure does have a lot of information! I've got a face lotion recipe and a conditioner recipe I'm excited to try
