Thank you so much. So helpful Thank you Thank you for your help. I’ll wait out the cure time the longest.

Thank you.

Hi everyone Can we talk about Castile soap. Your thoughts on discounting water and cure time. I have heard it can take up to 15 months to cure? Is this true. Thoughts please and any ways to speed up the cure time just a bit lol What do you guys do ❤️

I made soap today without the castor oil and it soaped beautifully back to my original supplier from here on Thanks again

Thanks everyone. That is very helpful. I buy my FO from rustic escentuals and also Aussie candle supplies. I have used so many that I now know which ones accelerate and which ones don't. I've been thinking about it and it's only happened since I started using this castor oil from a different...

Thank you. Everything is from same supplier except the castor oil. Strange as it seems, when I think about it my last 3 or 4 batches with castor oil have riced on me. I used a different supplier this time but although I'm only using a small amount, could that be the problem? I keep the lye...

Sorry, yes a bit blurry 50 grams sweet almond oil 50 gram castor oil 450 gram CO 750 OO 150 Shea butter From memory I'm blending around 45 degrees Celsius Thank you. :)

Hi guys Can anyone help. I have been using this recipe often but just lately every time I make soap it starts to thicken very quickly and rice before I even put the fragrance oil in. I'm in Australia and we have had some very cold weather. Could the cold weather be the cause ? I only blend till...

Thanks everyone. It was fine pink salt and yes I ran it through the calculator without the OO and I had more water and 50grams more lye

I made a salt soap 600grams CO 350 grams OO 50 grams Shea butter I realised after I made it I forgot to add the olive in with the other oils I used 700 grams of pink salt. Can this still be ok to use once cured ??? Any feedback would be great. Thankyou

Thanks cmzaha I didn't think of that. The orange peel is through the soap as well and it's drying very quickly. I also used dried sweet orange peel on top and that's always worked well. I'll keep an eye on it

Great ideas. I actually took some advice and slightly shaved the riced soap down and it looks so much better. As for the "ugly" soaps, I emailed a local women's shelter to donate. Just waiting to hear back. I do like the idea of selling oops ugly soaps for $1.00

It looks very delicious , thankyou lunaskye. Can't wait to cut it

Thanks guys. I am going to donate to a local women's shelter , thanks for the ideas

I made a beautiful orange, patchouli and lavender soap with dried lavender , sweet orange peel and fresh orange peel ❤️

Hello. I have some soap that I call ugly that I wouldn't sell. And I have a soap that is actually pretty cool but it riced up . Is there anything I can do with these batches other than throw them out ? Here is the pic of the rice looking one

That is just beautiful. I love your top design. Well done love love

Thanks cmzaha . I'm new to soaping so I had no idea you could do that or even how. But the soap was so thick and it was setting like a cheesecake/pudding texture, even thicker than that. I threw it out

I use all my soaps that I have made on my face, that contain either FO or essential oils. I didn't think otherwise. Never had a problem ! Question? Should I not use it on my face?
