    Yesterday I made my 12 soap - samples

    I tried Vilcacora (Una de gato) as a color in one soap. When I was making this tea, I noticed that my saucepan was always red, so I thought I'd try what it would do in soap. I brewed the tea and used it as the liquid for the lye. it is the 5th photo with the sheep and the color inside, the top...

    Easter soaps - colors

    Do you make Easter soaps? I wanted to make some and try to work with colors on it. For the joy of children in the family. I would like to get some orange color for the carrots. What would you use from natural sources, or something at home, vegetables, spices? Annatto seeds, turmeric? I would...

    linseed oil soap

    @Savage Daughter Thanks so much for the salt idea and sharing your experience. Yes, it's true, the linseed oil soap was soft for a long time and it took a long time to get it out of the molds and it also took a long time to cure because it was still soft. Also now it is more soft than other...

    linseed oil soap

    I have heard that linseed oil soap is a good wood cleaner. I would also like to try it sometime. This soap I made is for the skin from edible linseed oil. There are two linseed oils. The refined one is used as a cleaning agent and cold-pressed for food. I also use it for food, it has a lot...

    Extremely thick trace in a basic, lard soap after 2 seconds.

    I would also like to add that the photo shows that you used something to color the soap. Please state what you used, in what quantity and for how much fat. (when making soap, we use grams, or ounces, not cups. Measuring ingredients must be accurate). And if you used any fragrances...

    Extremely thick trace in a basic, lard soap after 2 seconds.

    I made several batches of lard soap because I like it. Same recipe, I just used lard from different sources. Homemade lard was the best, which unfortunately my source no longer makes (they retired), the soap was quite slow to trace and also took longer to cure. The soap is very pleasant to...

    Black bear soap

    That bear is fantastic... Amazing soap... I wonder how you made the bear parts. I read that you pushed the parts out, I don't understand what you mean by that. I like this type of soap and am interested in the different techniques to achieve it.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I have a similar situation, I spend a long time looking at pictures from the video and reading information and experiences of others. That's how inspiration and ideas arise that I want to try. Soap making is a wonderful world of so many possibilities…

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I think I should try it in my soap later. Maybe it's just some EOs or a certain concentration that irritates me.
