    Shower Lotion Bar Tests and recipes

    Thank you for this, I will be making this with the almond flour. I had also found my ground rice and beans too scratchy. I really appreciate reading about your variations.

    Plastic in my soap?

    Oh I’m embarrassed and appalled! Here is a piece of plastic from my soap! I will challenge all of my procedures to assure this doesn’t happen again…

    Plastic in my soap?

    It doesn’t pull free, and doesn’t change with water. I measure out everything painfully careful, so I imagine I would have seen plastic (like from a cap-cover) flow into the mixture, but perhaps that is it… I’m going to break the soap apart and look at it further and then throw it away.

    Plastic in my soap?

    Shower Lotion Bar Tests and recipes

    Thank you for this by weight! It makes it so much easier. Especially as the recipe calls for 1/2 cup whole beans v ground beans. I didn’t think to lookup how much a cup of beans weigh…

    Lip Ivo?

    hello I’ve just bought some lanolin and looking forward to incorporating it into some recipes- My lip balm is equal beeswax, coconut oil and cocoa butter. How can I add lanolin to this? Thank you, I appreciate your advice :)

    Dial foaming refill

    Hello and thank you. Just curious, What do you use your Castile paste for?

    I was concerned about this too, but my thinking is that they are less oil down the drain than the sugar or salt scrubs-yes?

    Dial foaming refill

    And yours works in the Dial-brand pump? Perhaps it’s the essential oils? I use this Castile soap: https://www.thesoapery.co.uk/products/castile-liquid-soap-base-organic?variant=8149817000042 Thank you!

    Dial foaming refill

    Hello Why does the Dial foaming hand wash container only use Dial refill soap? I used the ouroilyhouse formula (below) for foaming hand wash (1/4 C Castile, 15 drops EO, and fill with water)…and it doesn’t work in the Dial dispenser-is anyone familiar with this? Thank you...
