Help! I need Olive Oil and the only Olive Oil I found is called Light Olive oil. Do I need to change my recipe? Husband went to Sam's two hours away and that is all they had so he bought! I have to make 4 recipes like now and not sure how to change the recipe. It seems it might have a...

Accidently bought organic palm oil from columbus instead of regular. Will it soap differently? Once I substituted extra virgin olive for regular olive and it did. In fact I dumped the soap.

I need a decent supplier for this fragrance. Been using MMS which I love but can't afford to do much at the price. I did a few batches using their sweetgrass and it was wonderful but like I said I would like to do more at lower price. I figure with their price I have a dollar a bar just in...

Just bought a bunch of fragrances from soapalooza. Never used them before so I am scared. How accurate our their rates of fragrances to the amount of oils in a batch of soap. They are saying .5 - .8. What do you guys think? I've always just used MMS or Camden Gray (essential oils for them)...

It is very expensive right now. Looking for a close fragrance to use in blends only. Camden Gray doesn't have one. MMS has one at 44.00 a pound which I can get the eo at 68.00 a pound. Seems high to me. Any thoughts?

Love the scent and made it once but the scent was way to light and made at the high end. My oils are 5 pounds, how much would be too much and is there possible another oil either essential or fragrance to help its staying power? Thanks

I use to have no problem with layers. I'd put down one layer say white and then color the rest of the soap and layer the top. In the last 4 batches the top later makes it way through the lower layer in one big blob. So what am I doing different? I just makde a rosemary mint with a pink at...

I've made soap every day this last week and today I could kick myself. I knew the recipe by heart so did it all but 1/2 the water BY MISTAKE. The lye seemed mixed and brought down to 100 degrees. Didn't realize what an idiot I was until it seized big time. I lumped it into the log mold. My...
