Will there be more development on this? At the moment it looks a bit unprofessional.

Thanks for the update on the info

Looks nice!! Like a berry smoothie!

This subject came to mind earlier today but I seem to recall a Peaches N Cream from the past, it was absolutely horrid. I must have sold a log of it but I am positive I threw the rest of the FO out :D I had a hemp scent once but never had a chance to soap it. I should try that one again.

I used Soaper's Choice while living in Illinois and I would highly recommend them. Not sure if there are better deals but they had fantastic service and I could pick them up myself.

Use a thermometer and soap at cooler temperatures - the soap might have gelled before it got a chance to get cold

I have some Red Devil Lye containers from 2003 still and I only use it as drain opener because it clobbed into little balls, it works fine but I wouldn't use it for soap if it's like this. I keep my lids tight and make sure 100% that my lye in a cool and dry place now.

I haven't used the oil method but I have seen some soapmaker's videos - it looks like they only use a very small amount maybe two tablespoons at most, usually around one tablespoon. Don't quote me on that but it might give you a starting point.

I have a fragrance oil from them that is about 10 years as well, it has lasted a long time and is still as good as the day I got it. I got it at a Soapmakers Conference. It's in a 16oz bottle. I still have it because while high quality, I do not like scents of this type (it's not oatmeal milk...

I use hemp oil around 8% as well. I typically use Olive Oil around 50% in my recipes and I would never be able to afford to soap with hemp like that!

Wow those are some really cute ideas that people have thought of :D I never would have guessed!

Does anyone have any input on what creates those thin black lines that I see in soaps? Is it intentional or is it just a reaction among ingredients? I have included an image (it is not mine but I cannot find the original source either)

So far I have rounded up the following: Nite Glow Powder Glow In The Dark Powder I wish I could remember the original source, but that information is unfortunately so far gone from moving many times throughout the years.
