Hi everyone. I made a cream oatmeal and honey soap and the oats were more like a scrub than soothing. After researching ( reading on the web, lol) I have decided to make oatmeal water to add to my soap. So this is my plan. Add honey to lye water. Do a water discount. I am soaping at 33% these...

Does anyone know if there are places on the web that a Canadian can go to and buy, say used or unwanted soaping supplies? Or even a US site that has a flat rate? Thank you all so much.

My Dh says his temp. Pointer has different settings and oil isn't one of them. Is this going to be a good investment for me. And no I haven't tryed out his. He is very particular about his tools :roll::roll::roll:

I want to make coffe soap. I have the recipe i am using. I was wondering if I could do a 50% water reduction and mix the lye, then add the the other 95% triple brewed, with distilled water coffee at trace And 5 % cream? Will that still make it a nice brown color? I don't want to do a coffee lye...

First I didn't go into this recipe realizing I would be using so much oilve oil. So I created a wonderful recipe for a tea tree soap. This is my first soap that has been forced into a gel stage. The soap is a green almost transparent soap….. or so I thought. 24 hours after making it I go to...
