    Scent completely dissipated from CP soap

    Yes I know about citruse and I usually add some anchor scent. And yes in these cases I would give it away to people who would like it but it was a large batch. I will call it light scented probably because in either cases I need a label. Thanks for your ideas. I use a lot of citruses I usually...

    Scent completely dissipated from CP soap

    Made a batch of my regular CP using a mix of grapefruit EO and FO. Didn't add fragrance anchors, such as clay, I thought that having some FO will do the job. Now, after three months, the grapefruit scent is completely gone. It just smells like grandma plain homemade soap :( Now, what can I do...

    How long CP zaps?

    So, I gave soaps to test to somebody who didn't have water from the city and said the soaps are fine! Two other friends living in the same area said that city water has a poor quality lately. I noticed also that my hands are very dry but I was thinking that I test too much soap :)I sooo hope is...

    M&P drying hands

    Yes, I found it at Michaels. It says is for ages 15 and plus. I don't think is for using the soap...maybe for making the soap (?). I'll give it a try, thank for the suggestion. I also found another one at a supplier, says it's certified organic in United Kingdom, having a yellowish color. For...

    M&P drying hands

    I used the hemp one, aloe and the translucent one. Bought them from a local store; the boxes were sealed, but maybe could be the storage? Or are they too old, can this affect MP soap?

    M&P drying hands

    Thanks! I live in Canada and it's harder to get some things here... I'll try to find something else than Stephenson.

    M&P drying hands

    Hi, I am using a M&P base from Stephenson and it's drying my hands pretty bad. Same for my testers. From what I know, we do not have hard water, but a friend just told me that it seems to fluctuate, like she is using the same soap and there are periods of time she feels the hands more dry than...

    How long CP zaps?

    This is my recipe with lard; I usually work in grams. And below is one of my vegan recipes; this one has a bit more CO than other ones; I'll try to balance OO/CO % in my next recipes.

    How long CP zaps?

    Thanks DeeAnna and cmzaha! I do not have hard water neither sensitivities or allergies. This time I did not intend to do a water discount so, yes, I always added extra water (maybe not to the recipe total, but was added). I usually use the same liquid oils: OO, CO, Castor, Almond, as for...
