Thank you DeeAnna, you rock!! So, if I just do the Stearic Acid @ 2%, or use another fat to sub the stearic acid, that's considered the 'superfat'? 'Superfat' and 'Supercream' are the same thing?

Hello everyone! I have a question about the % to be used when making cream soap. I am using the soapee calculator, and Step 4 asks for the Superfat %, is it 0%, or is there a range or even an average that is used. Or, do you check the 'superfat after cook' option? I hope this made sense to...

I was wondering if anyone knew if Natures Garden had a dupe that was close to Avobath. I have never smelled Lush' Avobath, but love Fragrance Buddy's version.... TIA

Do you just whip yours together, or do you heat, chill, whip? Or some other way? TIA

Thank you so much for all your information given DeeAnna. I am a bit confused on the glycerin. Is the 30% glycerin subtracted from the lye water being used? I'm wanting to make a 'chunky' paste to use at a later date to make products such sugar scrubs and body wash etc. Would I wait to add...

Those are so beautiful!!

I've been reading a little about this after having received that email from rustic escentuals, and started googling. The plant they're referring to is located in Germany (from what I've read), and the accident occurred in November 2017. There was a fatal accident back in 2016, killing 3. Sounds...

Nice colors; what did you use to try your edges?

Thanks, that makes perfect sense.

If adding 2% sodium lactate, which ingredient would you subtract that 2%?

Is there a particular type of mold that's needed? TIA

Hi IrishLass! I was wondering if you use both planer measurements. I have seen some with 1/16" or some with 1/8" (I think those are the measurements of the blades), but not 2 blades like you one you've referenced. Thank you!

Just an idea, but if it's 'pourable' you could put the salve in a disposable piping bag. Also there's an item that Wilton makes for about $10 for distributing cake icing. If this isn't what you were wanting to do, I apologize for the suggestion.

Oh my, yes that helped so much! I will be purchasing one of those for sure!!

I must need a course in beveling... lol I bought one from Etsy and am not impressed at all. How do you get the ends 'rounded'? Irish Lass, would you show one of your soaps beveled with the item you use please.
