    WSP Chardonnay Wine

    I don't drink wine, so I have no idea if this smells like wine or not, but I can tell you one thing, it is a very strong smell. I HPed this earlier today and my house has smelled like nothing else since then. I'm taking a piece of soap to work to ask a co worker that does drink wine what she thinks.

    HP packaging

    Should you/do you shrink/saran wrap your HP soaps? If so what do you use? I'm starting to think about getting some made up and ready for family Christmas presents. Also would it matter for scent transfer when shipping them? My family all lives in another state then me.

    Milk differences

    I love Goat's Milk in soap. Haven't tried any others, but they are on my to do list. Do the different milks change the feel of the soap? Main reason I ask: I really want to make some soap tonight, but can't get any GM until tomorrow after work :( Can I just use the 2% in the fridge or will that...

    Best oils for dry skin?

    I always have dry elbows, when I was using the GM Melt & Pour my elbows weren't dry. Now that I have switched to HP my elbows are getting dry again. It's just them because I always walk around saying how soft the rest of my skin is now. Is there any oils that are better at ridding/preventing dry...

    Harder Soaps

    I have made 10 batches of Hot Process Soap and so far I haven't got one that is as hard as I would like it to be or think it should be. I have used different %'s of oils, tried water discounts in a couple, and a few different butters to no avail. I always run it through Soap Calc. I'm running...

    Soap Calc. Sat : Unsat ?

    How much stock do you put in that #? I have spent most all day today putting different make ups of these 4 oils in: castor, coconut 76, lard and olive (plus a few others to change it up) and have yet to come up with a 60/40 ratio, close to 50/50 but not quite there. This is the final one I...

    Scent transfer

    Yesterday I made some soap using my silicone muffins pan. Soaked them in hot water after using, washed them with dish soap. Then I used them to make a different soap and smell the first FO on the new soaps. Now I have them soaking in baking soda and water. Am I going to get rid of the smell or...
