I made a batch of yoghurt soap back in mid March. Poured into the mold and promptly forgot about it, so the soap just sat in the loaf mold in the room. Some time in June I suddenly remembered that I still got this soap so I finally unmolded it. Meant to let it sit for a day to let the outside...

I was given a bunch of very nice oranges by family and got the idea of infusing oils with orange peels. I know the scent won't last in soap so I plan to make lip balm, hand lotion, or maybe shampoo bars with it just to see how it works. I figured infusing fresh orange peels directly with oil...

Been wanting to make a batch of a shower steamer with menthol. I only have access to 75% alcohol at the moment which will make my bath bombs/shower steamers expand. I read somwhere you can dissolve menthol in essential oil, which made me think maybe I can just dissolve it with some mint EO?

It was supposed to be alternating layer of yellow and white. Oh well at least you can still see the layer. Absolutely love the EO and FO combo! Ginger is a good addition to citrus. Youtube

I wanted to make a batch of liquid soap to use as hand soap. I used to make liquid soap paste in crock pots but I no longer have one, sp I want to make it in a stainless steel pot on an electric stove. I also want to add glycerin thinking it will make the soap milder. First of all, here are the...

I used to use cane syrup both for my soap (to boost lather) and in kitchen. Recently I've been using stevia and other sugar substitute (such as erythritol) in cooking and enjoyed them, so I wonder if these sugar substitutes can also boost lather in soap?. I recally seeing people using sorbital...

I want to try more soap dough technique and I have the peach perfection FO from NG so here we go! I could use some better placement tips but overall I'm pretty happy with this batch. Youtube

I believe I was browsing this forum the other day when I saw someone mentioned they made a high palm soap and it turned out great. Unfortunately, I didn't save the post so I couldn't find the source now, only a screenshot I sent to my friends. I haven't soaped in a while and just want to do...

I've been wanting to try a polka dot soap for a while. Originally I was going to make two batch, one with white dots on brown, another with brown dots on white. Unfortunately, I kinda lost the soap making bug lately and hadn't been very productive, so only one batch got to see the light of day...

I've been wanting to make a dark blue soap with some white streak markbling and some white specks to mimick the night sky. I tried cutting up small bits of white soap but they are not as small and organico-looking as I want. I know you can have titanium dioxide clumping but I would like a more...

My first ever batch was 40% lard, 40% olive, and 20% coconut, plain water and no additive or fragrance. After soaping for so long (started in mid 2019), I would like to make a new lard batch to honor my origin. 70% lard, 20% rice bran, and 10% olive, with frozen milk for water, and Sun and Sand...

Hi just wanna share I rescued and adopted this Potato from a shut-down pet shop. Most of my friends and family aren't that interested in dogs but I really want to talk about him. I didn't really plan to have any pet as I have a hard time taking care of myself (had to set alarm clocks all day...

I wanted to use up the bottle of seabuckthorn oil after making facial bars with it, so here comes some basic shower bar. The recipe was a bit convoluted, but worked well in the end. [Youtube]

I usually don't use cocoa butter in my soap but recently got some for my lotion bar adventure. I bought it from a chocolate supplier and it came in large chunks. Since I only need a small amount at a time, I decided to melt it down into smaller pieces. I melted it in a double boiler, pour into a...

I was only going for a simple castile with this one but my new wire cutter was giving me troubles, so I decided it was time for me to try cold rebatch. Cold rebatch is more popular where I live comparing to normal crockpot method. You just grate your soap up and just let it soak in the liquid...

I finally decided to dip my toes in lotion making and want to start with a simple hand lotion. My supplier gifted me a bottle of lemon hydrosol with my last purchase. I don't usually use hydrosol in my routines so it's been collecting dust, figured it's time to use it up. But lemon eo can't be...

I've been using my own liquid soap paste as dish detergent for a while now and liking it. I use it unscented, but now I want to add scent to it. I have FOs that are safe for soap and stay-on products. I also have a lot of essential oil samples that I would like to use up (lavender, lemon, tea...

Video I modeled and 3D printed the scrapper I used for this one. It did make quite some scraps that I made into samples, but it was so fun to use! Oddly satisfying to see the batter being scrapped. If anyone's interested, I can share the stl file. It's two-sided, and can be scrapped either way...

Trying to utilize my different-sized pipe molds ;) Don't have a video one because I accidentally lost the files :rolleyes: The process is basically make the white part with a smaller pvc pipe, freeze after sitting for 24 hours, thaw, put it in a bigger pvc mold, then pour in the red part...

I've been wanting to make a cucumber soap as early as I just started soaping, and finally made one! Mostly because I kept eating the cucumber that was meant for soap :rolleyes: Used cucumber juice as water, and used both menthol crystal and Cucumber Mint from NG for fragrance. Colored with green...
