Hello folks! I'm dying to have a burning leaves FO for CP soap; it's one of my favorite smells! But I went to http://www.fragranceoilfinder.com/ and couldn't find any. I also tried a quick Google search. Anyone have any ideas where I could find this? Or how to make a blend that smells like it?

So, I attempted my first swirled soap in a slab mold. The design came out BEAUTIFULLY. But it's very oily! I've never had this happen before. I'm worried because I only emulsified it, but didn't bring it to a full trace. On the other hand, there is no zap. What do you think the chance is that...

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I wasn't having very good luck with searching for this, since the words are pretty common. So, I apologize for the (probable) repeat! I want to experiment with painting glitter and mica on the tops of my soap, but I don't know how! I am a really...

So. I saw a metal heart-shaped bath bomb mold at an online retailer sometime in the last six weeks. But, of course, I didn't save the link. And now I can't find it. I just thought I would post and see if anyone knows, offhand, who it is that carries it? (It was just like the metal round...

I really like things neat and tidy. I have tried doing Lyn tops, but I always get frustrated when it's not "symmetrical" and end up flattening my soap out in the end. (I am working on this. I love the way bumpy, creamy tops look on OTHER people's soaps!) And it may be I'm a little bit of a...

My Kickstarter for my company We Love Soap just launched! Regardless of whether you can back me or not, I would love it if you went and checked it out and watched my goofy face in my video! Please? Here it is...

Today I'm going to make a cinnamon oatmeal soap, and I'm wondering how much cinnamon I should put in ppo. I'd like it to scent the soap as well as color it, but I know too much can be scratchy and a skin sensitizer. Does anyone have a good rule of thumb?

Okay, I know this is a total noob question, but my 31 days of soap project has me all confuzzled. Since I am trying all sorts of different recipes, molds, and techniques... Well, things aren't as simple as they once were. For example, until the past few weeks, I had always made soap in my...

I just completely screwed up a batch of soap. Everything was going fine, until I split the batch into two so I could scent, dye, and mold it in two different ways. Well, things started going wrong when I added the RED oxide into the CHAI scented soap! I had intended on using the brown, shimmery...

Yes, yes, smallify is not a real word. But you know what I mean, right? :D So, I have decided to make a new batch of soap EVERY DAY in January. As a sort of intensive learning exercise/giving myself something to blog about/figuring out what my PERFECT basic soap recipe is. There's no better...

Thus far in my soaping career, I have mostly NOT bevelled the edges of my soaps -- they've been just for friends and family, and frankly, my friends and family are such that they just don't care about these things. A couple of times, when the mood struck me, I've used a vegetable peeler to...

Hello folks! I've been browsing SMF for a few years, and I decided to finally take the plunge and register. I became interested in making soap "way back" in 2000, when I was working at a Whole Foods. I LOVED the soap that we carried, especially Zum. I had never before experienced REAL soap...
