perhaps it's interesting to point out that Lush products have an expiry date. a lot of their products are fresh. maybe yours expired? because you would have seen it in the store. this is true. but it also doesn't mean it's garbage. your statement works the other way around too.

Sorry guys. My intention was not to be rude, but rather, to make it clear that criticism is not a response to the question posted in this topic. Tabatha and agriffin merely criticized the idea. That doesn't really help me much. If I wanted an opinion on the idea, I would have asked for one...

hey Tabitha, would you please read the question before responding? clearly, there is no mold in LUSH's avocado bath bombs. they a wonderful and moldless. i am trying to find out how to make them [because they are $6+ each]. i considered all of these possible issues, which is why i started...

Thanks for the reply! Good point. What would you use as a preservative? Wouldn't citric acid do that?

The other day I tried LUSH's "Avobath" bath bomb and it was awesome! I make bath bombs on a regular basis and they're nice, but this one was exceptional. I know they use fresh avocados, and I'd like to try making them, but I'm wondering how much avocado I should use. Does anyone have any ideas...

Thanks for all your replies, guys! BakingNana; your post was very helpful. It explains a lot. It's funny, because I can swear I've seen 'sodium cloride" in many commercial soap ingredient lists. I guess it's just to make the soap harder? With regards to the salt bar. I don't think I've...

Does anyone use salt with their CP soap? if so, why? and how much? I often see it in commercial soap ingredients, but I'm not sure what it's there for. How could I incorporate it into a recipe? Thanks!

Thanks guys! That helps a lot. Explains why milks [alkalis!] work so well. duh!

I love lush, but it's expensive. I wanted to know if anyone had any of their recipes. I know the ingredients can be found on their website, but that's not a recipe! It would be nice to know the proportions of EOs and Oils. [and an important aspect of the ingredient list on their site...

Hi everyone. I have a quick question: I'd like to make a citrus soap [haven't come up with the exact recipe but it would have lime/lemon/orange/bergamot/ylang ylang EOs!]. I'm relatively new to CP soap-making, and someone told me you can use "whichever liquid you like", instead of water...

thanks guys! all your info/advice has been REALLY helpful. i never realized how expensive camomile EO is! it's crazy. but also an incredible fragrance. i think i'll keep it simple for now. is there a rule of thumb for how much ground oats per pound?

Hi guys. I'm new to the forum [and to CP soap making]. I have finally come up with a recipe that might work, and that I THINK I will like. But I've never made it before. I happen to have shea butter, and I like it, so I thought I'd incorporate it. Let me know what you think, and if there's...
