Hey All, I posted a bit ago about my tallow soaps being amazing then all of a sudden, out of the blue, my recipe had an issue, turning into mashed potatoes almost immediately upon adding my lye. I also noticed a lot of water in the molds. I've been searching the internet for any idea why this is...

Hi All, I have a recipe it's about 80% saturated oils, mainly beef tallow. I've made it before, it was easy, perfectly behaved soap. I just made three batches, all seized upon adding the lye water. The last batch I threw into a pot and into the oven. It looks like it will be an OK HP batch. The...

Hey all, I searched for natural camphor powder and found it here: http://www.myworldhut.com/ I was about to go crazy with an order from this site but decided to learn from past mistakes and google for reviews first. I saw some bad reviews. So I am hoping to get a review from one of you...

Hi all, so I make home sprays with essential oils, alcohol, and a bit of water. I use 3 oz amber glass bottles and a white atomizer from NDA. When I pump to spray liquid spurts out the nozzle where the spray cap recesses into the nozzle. I have used these atomizers for a while and it seems to...

Hey all, a hot process soap gave me issues, maybe the spirulina? I changed nothing else. Volcanoed like crazy! I salvaged it. Everything after that point went as it should. No zap. So I added my stuff, yogurt, buttermilk, EOS, and threw it into the mold. I cut it about 8 hours later and it...

Hello everyone, My SIL unearthed a bag of Country Soap Shack's goat milk soap base from her attic. I make CP & HP soaps. What do I do with these white cubes? I told my SIL I would make her some soaps but I have no idea what to do with these. Does anyone????:confused:

Hi All, I did not add enough lye, I know how much I am missing. Soap set up, a little soft on the ends but hard throughout 90% of the log. Question is can I rebatch (never rebatched before) in a crockpot and add the missing lye? Should I? What do you know/think? TY!

Hey folks, I have no idea what to call the item I am looking for. The seal for a jar of lotion or say bath salts, something to seal in addition to the screw top. Something similar to this but not adhesive, maybe more like a plug...

When I opened the mold I was happy, what a beautiful loaf of soap I thought to myself. It is coffee soap swirled with a non coffee white soap and has been done before a few times successfully. One side of the mold opened right up, always a good sign. Then when I tried to open the other side...

Hey all, Wondering if anyone has had luck with making a green salt soap. I tried in Nov to make green Christmas trees, failed, it actually turned a speckled lavender. :confused: Tried yesterday to make shamrocks, another fail that turned a peach color!?! I use green food coloring in the salt...

As I was cutting my crooked labels, I was reminiscing about the poll "Most crooked cut soap" and thought someone should run with the crooked theme and name their soap company "The Crooked Soaper". The display could be all crooked, labels crooked, is that even how crooked is spelled? Looking at...

Hi All, I purchase EOs through NDA. During my YE inventory, that I have been putting off, I noticed the Clary Sage price has more than doubled! :lolno: :Kitten Love: :shock: I am hoping it is VERY temporary but it sucks because I am down to the last tid bit of my supply. I will have to shop around I...

Hi there, I am killing my eyes looking online for a wholesale body pouf supplier. What I am looking for is an eco tools type poof. Anyone have a supplier or know where I can look? I am cross eyed at the moment, thanks!

Hey all, I failed miserably at one batch of holiday salt soaps. I misread my measurements and instead of 5 oz of lye/water I used only 2 oz. The bars look lovely, smell great but when you use them they melt away. I was think of melting them into some oils for another salt bar batch thinking they...

Hey Folks, I am trying to get some pink hearts going for Vday using Pink Himalayan Salt. I have made two batches and both traced nicely then all of a sudden thick clump of crap! This never happens to me with any of my salt soaps and I am perplexed. Here is the method and ingredients in which I...

Hey Ladies and Gents, So I just made a small batch of salt soap in a Christmas mold. I was explaining to my Mother as I was making it so I was a little distracted. Earlier in the day, I had prepared my lye/water mixture for two separate batches. I was supposed to pour in 6.5 ounces of...

Hi all, I just purchased some FCO for body spray, which absorbs beautifully, and was wondering how it works in soap. So I looked at my oil qualities spreadsheet and saw FCO's INS is way up there. Does this make soaping with it difficult? I think I used a little in my small test batch so I...

Hi all, thanks for reading and a bigger thanks for an answer. I have read that EOs do not stain fabric unless of course the EOs are cut with a carrier oil. Do neat EOs stain fabric?

I am just getting into the healing aspect of EOs and am wondering if there is an EO that I can massage on my foot and hopefully break up the scar tissue or fascia that is building up between the ligaments. A friend with the same problem sees a guy who rubs the arch of her foot and told her to...

Hello, I am addicted to salt bars, have been for a while but I am really out of control now. I think my obsession is due to two reasons, they are so easy and quick to make and they hold any scent I put in them, even fleeting top notes, and hold the scent for longer than non salt bars. Does...
