    Can soap be made from butter?

    A friend posed this question to me. Is it possible to make CP soap from 100% butter? The kind you put on your toast!

    Tattoo frustration

    My tattoo artist comes once a year to the local convention. It is in 10 days and I am going crazy trying to find the right idea. I have a tattoo to finish, but want to start something new. I have looked at about 1000 images and nothing is clicking. I know the spot I want. There is a piece...

    How cold can soap cure in?

    I am wondering if I can put my soap in my garage to cure. I made a batch of Hunter's Moon and it is very strong. I have been getting migraines every night since I made it. The temps outside are about 50* day and 30* night. If that is too cold I can put it in my basement, but I would prefer...

    Bramble Berry cube mold

    I remember that someone on her purchased this. I have been looking at it and want to know if the soap turns out well. The cubes look fun. The only downside is it holds 10lbs of soap! I am itching to try a new mold. Their vertical one looks good. Maybe an acrylic, just something for a change.

    Dissolved sugar in water, added lye, white specks

    Okay, I am making a 3lb batch of soap. I added just under a tablespoon of sugar to warm water, stirred until dissolved, let it sit a few minutes and then added my lye. I have yellow tinted water with white specks in it. I keep stirring and they have gotten less but after a half hour there are...

    What type of oats?

    Is there a preferred type of oats for soap? I have whole cut quick oats. Are the quick ones okay? This is probably a silly question, but why don't they go bad? I am planning on chopping them a bit.

    What to mix with benzoin FO

    As you can tell by all my recent questions, I am pretty new to using FOs. I have a sample bottle of benzoin FO and no clue what to mix it with. I would love some suggestions.

    DayStar favorites

    I looked back on the search over a year and could not find a thread specifically about this. I am going to order a sampler. I already have Hunter's Moon, Nathanial and Belle Morte. I want to try Absinthe and maybe their coconut, it says it stays true. Any other recommendations? Not really...

    Help with a scent, please!

    This is an EO/FO question. I am going to be seeing my friend in a month. She likes coconut, jasmine and things that smell like honey. I have a 1/2oz sample of coconut (but I know about it not turning out well), no jasmine and no honey smell. I am at a complete loss. Can I get some ideas of...

    Jo Ann's buy

    I was looking for a single cavity silicone mold, which they didn't have. I got a six cavity heart mold, 50% off. Really cute mold. Then I got a 4 cavity mold, it doesn't even say the size, lol, but they are like those little tin mini loaf pans. These both are from Wilton. The first one was...

    Essential Depot food grade or tech grade lye

    I am looking at their lye and food grade says micro beads and the tech grade says beads. Has anyone used both of these? I am looking for larger pieces of lye. The micro beads stick to everything, like static cling. I didn't know if the beads where any different.

    I wasn't sure where to put this so people would see it. San Fransisco Salt Co. has a great price on fine grain salt. I am in no way affiliated with them, but it is a great deal. I have their salt and love it. It would make great fancy salt bars. 25lbs for $49.99 including shipping. This is...

    Coconut oil and de-forestation?

    My friend's daughter has gone on a no palm lifestyle because of the orangutans. Even including foods with it in. She won't use soap with sustainable oil because they cut down the forest to make sustainable farms. She also wont use coconut oil because it comes from palm trees. I had never...
