Thanks!

Hi :) I want to experiment with colourants like alkanet root powder or clays, and have been searching the internet for the last 3 hours looking for a reputable website that does all of them. Does anyone on here have any recommendations for where to buy them, preferably in the UK to avoid...

Thanks dixiedragon! My aunt has told me that she can use shea butter. I'm not about to give her soap with oils that I haven't checked she's okay to use.

After 36hrs I've cut the bar, and first impressions are it's softish (like it will give if you press hard enough), but it will probably harden during curing? It seems to give an okay lather, not big fluffy bubbles or anything but more like a foaming one. My hands feel kind of chalky, not sure...

Thank you! Will report back once it's in the mold/out of it depending on whether I remember :D

Thanks for all your suggestions, definitely will have to experiment :) I'll have to substitute the avocado oil in your recipe, IrishLass, because she's allergic to avocados too! :rolleyes: When adding sugar, do you mix it in with the water before adding lye? I've used honey before and mixed it...

Long time since I’ve posted on here, but I have a bit of an issue - my aunt asked if I could make some soap for her and agreed before realising she’s vegetarian (so no lard) and allergic to coconuts (so no coconut oil). I don’t really like using palm oil, and I have both cocoa and shea butter...

Yours looks gorgeous! Especially the silver - I wouldn't want to cut it :D What should it be like on the inside? Been considering a wire cutter a bit for a while - might be a nice Christmas present :lol:

Today I cut this soap :) Some drag marks, but easily fixed and I couldn't cut from the side as it wasn't flat :/ Dried lavender flowers on top and the purple bit has Lavender seeds in for aesthetics 8) It's all scented with Lavendin EO apart from the yellow/cream which is very light Citronella...

Such a pretty colour combination and swirl! Well done :)

Welcome! :bunny: Completely agree with you on YouTube! So often I get sucked into a Soap Queen spiral too late at night :oops:

They are gorgeous! And they perfectly fit the scent too :)

Hi and welcome! :wave: Your English is amazing - don't worry about it :)

Thanks everyone for your replies! Thank you for all the links Nao! Surprised me how cheap the shipping was from mankse shop - will definitely buy from there for some oils :) I tried to CPOP at 40 degrees ish ^_^

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I last posted as I was on holiday :mrgreen: I made my first soap before I left and here it is! Boring, I know, but I didn't want to add anything extra in case it went wrong :???: For my next soap, I want to add fragrances so I was wondering what kind of...
