I've just bought my safety assessment to get ready to sell and have been reading up on the changes that will happen in 2013. I was thinking it only effects us in the EU. When reading this though it mentions the US at the bottom. http://www.insidecosmeceuticals.com/art ... osmet.aspx Am I...

My scale broke last night *cry*. It finally gave up the ghost when I spilled a lot of liquid soap on it by mistake :( Bought a new one today and made some soap and it's taking a while to get used to. I never thought I would be so attached to some kitchen scales LOL. I'd bought it just for...

Am I right in thinking that Gracefruit isn't selling Bay Rum FO anymore? :( If I am do any uk/eu soapers know where I can get an alternative? Really love that scent...

I had so much fun yesterday trying hot process, I really wish I'd tried it sooner. I found it a lot more relaxing than CP with not having to worry about acceleration and the swirling being less precise. It gave me a chance to ease off on the laser beam of focus and just enjoy it all. I'm...

Hey all, I'm in the process of making my first liquid soap today. It's been 6hours in the slow cooker on high and is stuck at gel stage and doesn't seem to progress any further. I've tested an oz in 2oz of water and it was very cloudy. Is my slow cooker too low a temperature? (I bought a cheap...

I'm very interested in purchasing from Nature's Garden but I live in the UK. I was wondering if anybody else from the UK had ordered from them and could tell me what they thought of the delivery? For example was it fast? Easy to recieve? Very expensive or very reasonable? Thanks :)

I haven't posted here for quite a while. I stopped soaping until I got a bigger place and now I've been soap mad hehe. I've been practicing a lot and trying some new things. Just thought I'd share some progress :) This is pumice soap, just poured, scented with Spa Fresh FO. Here it...

Am looking for help with a problem I've been having. Only two out of my six batches have come out nicely set. One being a salt soap that turned out really nice and hard and a CPOP soap although that one had a thick ashy layer on the top. My problem is that the rest of my soaps have all been very...

Hi, I've been asked by my mum to make a shampoo bar for her, she says her regular shampoo is too drying. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to ingredients that would help dry/sensitive scalp. I was thinking jojoba oil, but I won't get much benefit from it after saponification?

So here is my first ever soap Uploaded with ImageShack.us Unscneted and uncoloured, made 15% coconut oil and 85% olive oil. I'm really happy with it and enjoyed making it, I cut it a bit wonkey though. And the lye wasn't as scary as I thought hehe. Thanks again for your help everyone :)

Hey, thought I would introduce myself properly. I'm Rosie, student from the UK and very new to soaping. Have already asked a question here and got lovely helpful responses and have found so much useful info in previous posts. Have just ordered some supplies to make my first soap, now just so...

Hi, I'm new to all this but really excited to give it a try. I'm a student so currently staying in a small room with a window, which is where I would like to make my soap. I was just wondering if this will be ventilated enough with the window open? And if anyone can tell me what I should expect...
