I made this Nag Champa batch about 24 hrs ago. Blended very very well. Smells amazing, the orris infusion adds a little creaminess. But it has a pinkish color on the outside like a cheese block and some brown specks. The specks may be from: Moroccan clay? Orris root? Aloe vera juice with the lye...

Two of the newest CP creations. just cut. Due to high OO and Palm, they are still sort of soft. Ran out of chamomile EO so the spiral one doesn't smell exactly the same but I did a 3 hr hot bath infusion with 1/2 c ground chamomile in palm oil. The spiral came out pretty good considering that I...

Do you guys keep all your recipes written down for future notes or critique and tweaking? I find writing them down and keeping notes has helped tremendously.

POLL | POLL On a scale of 1 to crazy where do you come in? :crazy: :oops: (21-50) :clap: :wave:

Do you guys have much luck? I've read about squigees and pouring at a real thin trace. I;m sorta apprehensive of pouring at thin trace since I;ve poured at false trace and had a batch totally separate and leak all over me before :o. Eg. this soaper's tops are a work of art...

Do you guys have backups? A few months ago a few SMF'ers mentioned having a backup in case something broke. I mentioned having two backup stick blenders (you know you do too). Well one broke today and so now I'm down to one back up.

You guys ever used finely ground oatmeal in your soaps? If so, what is the consistency when the soap is completed? Is it soft and unnoticeable? Or is it slightly scratchy, a good exfoliant? I use semi ground oatmeal before. I want to make a good psoriasis eczema bar. (I know it doesn't cure...

Anything really different in your own experiences? Did you have to superfat less with pine tar? Were the curing times the same? Any oils work better in combination with PT for you? This scent drives me insane and I am reminded about making a batch or 10 but don't want to blow it. Thank you for...

Are they alright?

I know there are a few different ways but what worked the best for you? :wave:

One of my favortie brands of soap is "Nubian Heritage" which is found at many health stores. I looked at one of there soaps yesterday since I am an official soap nutcase, and noticed it looked like a double sided mold was used. It has the feel of a commercially 'pressed' bar. Someone in...

How much is your absolute max coconut oil for best results in your recipes?

For me it is a tie between cutting out wax paper to line the mold and having to do a hundred loads of dishes afterwards. ***Poll added

Put some in the ice cube tray and it turned a orangey color. Have you had the same experience?

I saw some high end candles yesterday that looked and felt like a rough HP soap. Anyone know what type of wax or addtives this may be?
