No, i don't know how to calculate the percentages, i have tried using the calculators but i can't work how much i need of one As said this is my first batch, normally i work with melt n pour. Oh trust me, it's already in the bin, when washing the tub it was in i got a burn or 2, nothing major...
lol, do you think if i used to much caustic soda? I ain't too good with percents i put for lye about 250 Grams, and water about the same i think. Oils of at least 150 Grams in total. mmm lavender laundry soap, how do i make that lol?
No, unrefined, i pushed lavender through a strainer i think with just plain almond oil unscented to create the unrefined lavender oil. I think it could be possibly the lye, i touched some of it and it burnt, maybe not mixed or maybe too much :(
Right, so it's been 3 days now and i'm really puzzled by the pictures in what went wrong. can any one shed some light in what I've done wrong? :( When i first took a look it, i saw this "brown honey coloured oily stuff" coming from it, smelt a little off to, so when i cut it, it came apart...
lol very funny but accurate! Is there anyway to get them back to purple, I've seen a good couple of cold process soaps with the buds and they have barely turned brown at all. mmmmmmmmm Level of ph you say, i wonder what could of caused that :(
But i did take a look earlier, and looked like...
Hi.
No, that's great, i seem to be the worst at grammar i think :( but i'll get my sister to take a look, shes a lot better at that. Hopefully the ingredients will be updated this week as t the moment i'm just cataloging every thing so i know what i'm dealing with and the possibilities of...
Hi All.
Wasn't sure which section to post this in, i'm not promoting either. So i have been open now since Feb and since then 3 sales :(
can any one tell me honestly if my shop sucks or any thing bad with this that could effect business...
Hopefully, but god only knows how long it's going to take to cure :) I also have brown lavender seeds already in the mix, i done the oils and fragrance about a week ago and wondered what to do with it, the plan was bath melts but failed with that so i turned it into a cold process soap ^_^ When...
Hey Everyone.
As promised, my first cold process soap batch mixed with Coconut Oil, Unrefined Lavender Oil, Palm Oil, and a a lil bit of shea butter :)
Comments welcome :)
Hi Everyone.
Been ages since i been on here but i been working on bath melts lately and the problem is, they're made from:
Shea Butter
Coconut Oil
Palm Oil
Lavender Oil + Lavender Seeds and liquid dye.
So I popped them in the fridge as per usual. Took them out, thought i'd leave them...
Shea butter, palm oil, liquid soap, sls free soap bases x 2 mmmm potpourri , golden jojoba oil, blue dye think that's about it but every thing arrived perfect :)
mmmm where are you selling it, I want to buy some!! I hope you ship internationally, I live in the uk :) God it actually makes me hungry, it just looks perfect!!
you say you use shrink wrap right, I think if i'm right after a while it does tend to "sweat", try the organza bags or even tissue paper, or waxed paper and hand made paper :)
