heya .... I do 400g for experiments and self-indulgence. If I'm doing something special for friends n family I do a 1kg log. :)

I havent seen that blog, thank you for the link. I shall be reading a lot on there, haha. I believe I do have hard water. I can smell the chlorine in it and has a funny slight chemical taste to it. Can citric acid not neutralize the water? I don't know ... I'm still quite new to this soapy...

Ooooh lots of info to get my head around :) yes I am thinking of making a liquid soap. I was tryna work out how to make my own bubble bath. I do love bath bombs/bubble bars but I wanted BUBBLES without any sls or slsa :) Looks like I need to order some more things before I try this, so it...

Hey folks :) I've just been on YT and found this girl making liquid glycerin soap. She uses the glycerin instead of water. I've never seen this before and she dosent explain what to do with the mixture at the end. Has anyone seen this or done this before? I did a google search but just got...

Lime Margarita? ...... mmmmm ... sounds good to me :) Well, after doing the beer soap, which still smells nasty(changed to a smokey floral), I've had the idea of doing a champagne soap. It's an idea I really like the sound of and thinking perhaps adding a puréed fruit as-well. Like Pear...

yes, definitely going to be freezing the beer next time :) .... I'm wondering if you can do this with any alcoholic liquid? ....hmmmm ..

Oooh .... I've never heard nor seen that before!!! clever :D

Yes I poured at a thick trace. I probably should have slammed the mold a bit more than I did ... I will remember next time :) That specific swirl is the only one out of the whole test batch. I was quite surprised by it too. I poured the middle layer in a hap-hazard kinda way. The top layer...

Hey everyone :) I'm experimenting this week and want to share my results with you all :) This is my first beer soap. I'm not keen. The smell factor involved was too much for me. I added an FO that is a powdery floral smell that I didn't like with the idea to counter-act the beer smell. But...

Hiya Normally the website from which you purchased will tell you. It's usually 1 - 2% per pound of oils if it is a concentrated fragrance. If it's not concentrated than I think the LyeCalc can tell you how much to use. Hope that helps :/

Does anyone know what their shipping fees are like for uk postage? They have a page dedicated to cp micas but I'm hesitant as they cant say what the shipping will be till the order is sent. :)

Hiya :) I might be wrong in my practise but I just add a little bit at a time till I get the colour I want. There probably is a better way to do it. I do find with the TD that if you put too much in the soap batter, it gets thicker ... which is not good for some swirling but still...

Wow! you lot are fabulous. Thank you for replying :D I've had a closer look at this Almond oil I bought from the shop and I now notice that it says (in fine print) "B.P Sweet" underneath the heading of "Almond oil" There are no other ingredients listed ....... so this is sweet Almond oil...

Hey everyone :) I've been having a problem with soap calculators recently. None of the soap calculators I've looked at list Almond Oil. The regular Almond Oil not the sweet variety. My local world food store sells big bottles of the stuff and although a little pricey I really want to try it...

Hiya, Newbie here ..... This is a link to my beauty guru who suffered acne badly. He gives really good advice and he's a make-up artist so maybe your teen will like him. Video on acne care: http://youtu.be/xAv8-6hkYko He has sworn twice in this video I forewarn, but the advice is gentle...
