do you think i could get away with calling it that? it is actually a combination of lemon verbana fo from bramble, 15%.. lemongrass eo, 15%, and 70% eucalyptus eo. whatever it is, i like the scent. spirulina for the green, annatto powder for the yellow, and the lighter is just the base with no...

i was only joking! i myself do not enjoy the lather of most castile products either, but my mother loves the way they make her skin feel. let your friends and family try it, someone is bound to love it!

welcome Dale! nice to have another crafty guy around here!

CONGRATULATIONS! you have made "barely bubble slime soap" maybe you could add a lil green color and market it to teenage boys ;)

i had a heck of a time locating it even in the places that sold spectrum products.... until i checked the organic section! organic palm spectrum shortening has been in my recipes ever since :)

that is what i was considering but it sends the iodine level over the top. GRRRR. maybe i need some sort of luxury oil in here?

so, the recipe i have been playing with lately has 36% OO, 20%palm, 20% rice bran oil, 19% coconut, 5% castor. superfatted at either 6 or 7% the problem is this, when my girl uses the soap.. she says she loves it, but does not like the "squeaky clean" feel that it leaves on her skin. she...

thanks! i have not read anything about the negatives of chlorophyll. these colors might change? i thought that this was the best way to get that natural green.

i have been looking in the health sections in stores more often than i used to.. finding odd things to use for soap. for some reason i thought that chlorophyll was just used for soap.. apparently it is a good for you supplement as well! lol bought a bottle for $5.99 and had to give it a shot...

no problems whatsoever. they both soaped well at cool temps. i tend to do everything at room temp to give myself as much time as possible.

yea, it is a brambleberry scent... and a best seller at that. i was expecting a citrus blast! it is extremely sweet smelling.

i dont know how i feel about the energy scent. i just cannot get past the fact that it smells like sweet tarts.. maybe slightly on the too artificial side for me to enjoy it. you certainly pick up lots of citrusy scent, it just doesnt smell real. kinda like how it came out either way, some of...

I thank all of you for the input! Now I just need to figure out which 5 ill try first :shock: Keep em coming!
