I knew they would be slightly greasy, that's fine. I might order and add the ipm though. Not sure yet. I work with quite a few people who are all natural and would like a better lotion, that is the direction I was headed with this. That's why I wanted to do a solid lotion as opposed to a regular...

I wasn't worried about the amount. I have plenty of these butters to spare. I bought in bulk and am looking for a new product to add. Plus I work at a salon and have lots of honest and willing testers to hand them out to. Can't have the ladies feeling left out ;). As for adding a little...

Just added 4 oz of cocoa butter as well as 1/2 oz beeswax. I'll see how this effects it. Thanks for the advise. Wasn't sure if I needed to add something else I hadn't already. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

They all look great. The colors in your Dandelion swirl are beautiful. Great contrast. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

So I just did my first lotion bar experiment. I don't usually use lotion as my skin is pretty normal. I do have a couple of people who have requested that I make lotions, but I'm just now putting some serious thought into this. I think everything went well. I did my research and formulated a...

I know about mornings. This is my favorite too. Sometimes I just stand in the shower half asleep, sniffing the bar to wake up. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

I use ground, dried rosemary from my rosemary bush in my Rosemary Mint soap. I don't use any color and the specs look great in it. It's not scratchy at all as long as you grind it up really good. I tend to use a coffee grinder, but when I was starting out I used a mortar and pestle. As for the...

The lilac is the best showcase for a holly swirl. Although they both look great. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

Happy Halloween.... I'm bringing this thread back to life. Okay, so I've read through this thread couple times. I want to try to make a new shaving soap. The one I make now is NaOH only and I'm curious about mixing NaOH and KOH. Sounds like a great science experiment. So here's my question...

Good luck with your first rebatch. Sorry it had to come at a price. Lol.send pics. Rebatch is rewarding when your saving something. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

Glad the salt bars are working TeriDk and shunt. I just made some and will definitely gift them to friends who suffer from acne prone skin. I've been reading up on this and salt bars do seem to be a relief for minor acne sufferers.

Acne Inversa can be caused by many factors, such as, age, weight, and hormones. Where are the bumps and are they painful? If they are cystic, deep and painful, that usually requires a visit to the dermatologists office to get an oral antibiotic. There are unfortunately usually no natural cures...

Good job. My first definitely didn't look like that. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

I used regular fine grain sea salt. It does feel a bit oily so maybe that's it. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

Okay so it's been more than a week since I rebatched my salt bars. Now they are sweating like they're trying to loose weight. I put my bars on paper to cure them and they have soaked the paper. Any ideas on what's happening and will they be okay?

Should have uploaded my photo a couple days ago. Here is my rebatch. They are still a little crumbly but hopefully they will harden as they cure. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

Thanks for the heads up. That's what I've read everywhere so I'm going to make a small batch just in case it doesn't turn out. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making

I almost always do a swirled soap but a pencil line sounds fun. Do I let the soap on the bottom layer set up a bit before I add the herbs then the second layer. I'm kinda of new to layering soaps. Tried it twice and my layers mixed both times. Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making
