Congrats, I'm so happy for you and your wife.

EVERYTHING!;) I love all their mica's. I actually haven't ordered from TKB since I discovered Nurture.

I have to agree with Dixiedragon. One other difference I've noticed when making re-batch or HP is that I have to add more water (full water) and it takes a bit longer to cure where I get a nice firm bar. Both Besides esthetics I love both CP and HP.

Wow, I'm not judging anyone for what they want to spend to open a business but that is a very large chunk of money. IMHO there are better and cheaper options to start off slow and make sure the company grows VS starting a company with debt. It's sad that she fell ill and is unable to continue...

Like Raincityjen said, it might be a hot seller. ;-) I remember a long time ago a local vendor selling meatloaf soap. LOL Yep, it looked like meatloaf. I never got to smell it but I saw a picture and it was definitely interesting. It would have made for a funny gift.

I'm a clutz and always make a mess when pouring so I have pipettes. Different sizes help to get what I need out, they are so helpful for me.

So so so soo BEAUTIFUL! You are so talented.

I'm at 79 soaps currently in the curing rack.

Your normal... compared to the guy I saw today riding a harley in a santa suit. Seriously, full white beard, santa hat and red santa outfit. Christmas inspired soap in late January isn't totally crazy. Not to mention it came out really beautiful. :)

That's so funny! Love it!

It happens. When I first started making soap I forgot ingredients or essential oils. I have a routine of how I set up and I put away after using items so that I know everything has gone into the soap. I never miss anything these days but it happens to the best of us. Thank goodness for...

Another option if you want to produce large batches. They have a 25lb and 50lb large capacity mold. http://forcraftssake.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_5

BTW, could it be one of her ingredients. Would a bad ingredient do something like this. I think all her oils are pretty new but just by chance could this be a rancid oil. She didn't say if the soap smelled or not. *Update she said they smell like the E/O so not rancid I guess.

Xraygrl - I thought the same thing at first but she said the spots showed up later. I thought maybe her colors weren't completely emulsified but I don't think that now. Kista & Seven - Thanks for the kind compliment. My mom makes some pretty cool looking and funky soaps. I'll send her a link...

You still have to cure CP should be cured as well. Both HP and CP should be cured for a nice bar. Technically you can use your soap if it passes a zap test but the soap will be so much better after several weeks of cure.

I'd say max 10%. I'm allergic to castor oil but when I use it I like around 5%, that's when I get the best feedback from the bars.

I'm posting this for my mom, she makes soap and recently she asked me what the white spots are and honestly.. I've never encountered white spots like this so I have no clue what it is or could be. I don't know her recipe but the soap is a coconut, palm, shea and avocado in full water with 3%...

All these soaps are so lovely.

If your selling or giving away soap you should list ALL ingredients.

Your imbeds look delicious... like strawberry Peeps. My hubby and I love your soap!
