So I got a few new fragrances in yesterday and was excited to try them. Here are a few of them. Happily, none of the scents accelerated or riced and I had lots of time for mixing and molding. This morning I was surprised to find cracks on two of the molds, even though they don't appear to...

:lol: Here it is in the mold. It's still saponifying because it didn't gel. Will add cut pics when I have them. Cut pics now. I like yours a lot better. Oh well, practice, practice.

We always had very hard water. After a shower, I would have the "squeaky" skin that others have mentioned. I could get a decent lather with my CP soap, but it needed lots of rubbing and re-wetting. All in all, I was quite content with the performance of my soap. It hasn't been very effective...

I found the cutest silicone soap dish the other day in a local building center. A split second was all it took to grab one. I even have a bar of soap that matches. :lol: Any one else have a unique soap dish? [/img]

A friend of mine asked me if it's possible to make a flavoured and sweetened body butter (similar to Jessica Simpson's discontinued line) that can be ingested if someone happens to... erm... nibble on her skin. :oops: I use CB, SB, SAO and Vit E in my regular body butter. I was thinking...

I bought some new EOs last week and decided to make a new blend, along with a current favourite. The first one I call Enchanted Forest. It's a blend of Cedarwood, Pine, Cypress and a bit of Frankincense and Cassia. I had a request for a "more manly scented soap". That ought to do. :wink...

I got a shipment of new colors and titanium dioxide in and decided to try them. Unfortunately, you can notice some white flecks of TD and some of certain colors. This seems to be prevalent with my use of oxides and ultramarines, so I'll try straining them in the future. First picture is a...

Made a small batch tonight to try my new ultramarine blue colorant. Sweet Almond - 5.4% Apricot Kernel - 5.4% Castor - 8.1% Coconut - 21.6% Olive - 21.6% Palm Kernel - 37.8% 2:1 ratio of water to lye per calculator. Some was poured into small molds without fragrance, and all went...
