Thank you for this. Thank you! The aloe Vera is a great suggestion. I will add the preservative at the end. I only make for personal use, I’m way too new at this to even consider selling 😂

Thank you for this, and the article clarifies that the hyaluronic solution can be included in the heated phase. I always worry if heat will diminish the properties of ingredients. And for the BTMS-it’s what I had on hand, but I do like the emulsifying wax and will order more.

Last night I finished my second batch of DIY lotion-big fail. (My first batch was lovely). A. It is a watery consistency with unincorporated water. B. The concentrated base is very hard, like coco wafer consistency, I have to break it up with a knife. Four changes: 1. I used BTMS instead of...

You can collect seawater in your water bottles or other beverage containers that you bring to the beach :)

You are very talented!

That is so beautiful! What is a cyclone swirl? I googled and found hurricane swirl…

Thank you for this, I will be making this with the almond flour. I had also found my ground rice and beans too scratchy. I really appreciate reading about your variations.

Oh I’m embarrassed and appalled! Here is a piece of plastic from my soap! I will challenge all of my procedures to assure this doesn’t happen again…

It doesn’t pull free, and doesn’t change with water. I measure out everything painfully careful, so I imagine I would have seen plastic (like from a cap-cover) flow into the mixture, but perhaps that is it… I’m going to break the soap apart and look at it further and then throw it away.

Have you come across this before? I have something plastic-like in my soap-see pictures, i tried to capture it-it’s like plastic bag pieces. I’m a home hobbyist, only me and my husband at our house so there is no way something was introduced into the soap. Could this be the result of a...

Thank you for this by weight! It makes it so much easier. Especially as the recipe calls for 1/2 cup whole beans v ground beans. I didn’t think to lookup how much a cup of beans weigh…

I put on my soap labels “this is not food, do not eat”. As a joke….I thought!

I’m assuming to reduce the coconut oil for the lanolin weight? Thank you :)

hello I’ve just bought some lanolin and looking forward to incorporating it into some recipes- My lip balm is equal beeswax, coconut oil and cocoa butter. How can I add lanolin to this? Thank you, I appreciate your advice :)

Thank you!

Hello and thank you. Just curious, What do you use your Castile paste for?

I was concerned about this too, but my thinking is that they are less oil down the drain than the sugar or salt scrubs-yes?

And yours works in the Dial-brand pump? Perhaps it’s the essential oils? I use this Castile soap: https://www.thesoapery.co.uk/products/castile-liquid-soap-base-organic?variant=8149817000042 Thank you!

Hello Why does the Dial foaming hand wash container only use Dial refill soap? I used the ouroilyhouse formula (below) for foaming hand wash (1/4 C Castile, 15 drops EO, and fill with water)…and it doesn’t work in the Dial dispenser-is anyone familiar with this? Thank you...

Looks lovely! Is the top 5% red palm oil, and the bottom using more?
