Today I had a request for kosher soap. Has anyone had their soap kosher certified and was it worth the trouble/expense?

A friend wants me to make a soap that smells like the original Ambush perfume by Dana. I haven't seen a dupe for it and have no idea what it smells like. Has anyone come across this scent?

Does anyone know how to find the same scent I used to buy from Southern Soapers, somewhere else? Honey Bee, Orange Slices and Tassi Lavender are some of my best sellers. I have ordered scents with similar descriptions from SOS, and a couple others and they are not even close.

Today I made salt bars for the first time. I used 70% coconut oil and the rest soft oils. I added 2 lbs of sea salt to the 4 lb batch of soap after it was done cooking. I was afraid it would start getting hard but I had no problem mixing it and getting into the mold. From everything I had read...

I am thinking about making a soap with neem oil. I bought some neem to make a spray to use on our potbellied pig's skin condition and I am impressed with how quickly it has healed up his problem areas. Seems like it would be helpful to many skin conditions. To me, neem smells like a...

A reporter for the local paper wanted to do an interview about my soap last season. Today she placed a large special order and mentioned the interview again. Anyone have any thoughts on good points to bring up?

Today I am attempting another batch of liquid soap. It has been cooking since 2pm and is no longer zappy. This batch is 100% coconut. It is supposed to have an excess of lye in the 10 to 12% range.

Saturday before last, the local Green Market started up. Last Saturday, a customer mentioned to me that they bought a competitor's soap who claims their soap is not made with lye. I think it is poor business practice to make ridiculous statements like that to people to deliberately mislead...

I made a batch of liquid soap from a recipe in Catherine Failor's book. After quite a while, I ended up with very nice translucent liquid soap except for a quarter inch of foam at the top that looks like the head on tap beer. According to the book, after the soap sits for a few days the foam...

Here is a light box of the pictures taken this morning at the local Green Market. There are 3 valentine soaps, Goddess which is part of the regular scents. It is the off white soap with hearts painted in mica. Hot processed and cut with a cookie cutter. Rose which is the dark pink soap, some...

Has anyone made a soap with MSM? I don't see much info or recipes online. All I found is a soap that says it is made with 10% MSM. I did make a mineral soap a while back but it didn't lather well. Maybe it is like making a salt bar?

Has anyone made this here? Someone requested it, she pays $30 including shipping per order. Nothing fancy about the ingredients. www.toothsoap.com

Today was my first attempt to get tallow. I got about 20 pounds of beef fat from Publix that they saved for me at no charge. I start cooking it and the end result was darker than I expected, kind of honey colored. I refrigerated the tallow which promptly turned a creamy, off white. It has a bit...
