Hi! Me and my daughter have thick and average hair, not oily or dry, and I want to make shampoo bars for us.i have coconut oil, lard, shea butter and castor oil, may I ask what percentages of each would be good? Oh and I’m using goats milk instead of water

Thank you both. This one is dried flakes, no added sugar, it's actually from the soaping website, I just didn't know if it would turn brown or ugly on top

Or will it do something funny?

I don't know how to do this :-(

Thank you so much! And you are right, I should have made a tiny batch to practice with.

when I made my very first batch, the recipe was wrong, it called for 9oz of lye but after getting help from a sweet lady on here, she told me it should be 7.6oz. Total oils were 54oz. Anyway, that particular soap is still sitting on a shelf and I’m wondering if it might still be usable, how do I...

Wow! Those are so pretty! I like the tops how you did that. I was practicing with my tops today and used a spoon to make waves (found a video on youtube) . The pink you have is really nice! I don't even like pink, but I also made pink today haha :-D

Thank you!

Hello! I want to color my entire batch pink with the rose clay but I can’t figure out how much to use. I have 54 oz of total oils, 18oz of fresh Goat’s milk and 7.6oz of lye

You are right about the skin and it's very important to me to use natural ingredients in soaps because we use soap where? In a hot or warm shower, and I think hot water causes the pores to open up and therefore the skin might absorb more of what you put on it during that time. Same as when we...

Thank you, I used 20 oz olive oil, 20 oz coconut. 13 lard, 18 Goat’s milk, 7.8 lye, 1 oz wheat germ oil, ac is a guess now lol because my daughter put it in, and then the pink clay was 2 tsp for the color splash and then fragrance oil .5 ppo , I think I’ll try your recipe above, what would you...

She is turning 18 soon and it's actually been a long time since she has wanted to hang out with Mom lol so this is great

Thank you! I will definitely try that one again if I can figure out what I did wrong, this is alot of fun especially spending this time with my daughter

Oils are 53 oz and 1 oz of vitamin e oil and 18oz of goats milk and 7.8 oz of lye, rose clay and the charcoal. Now My daughter says she added some Xtra cuz it didn't look dark enough lol so maybe between the charcoal and too much lye? The vitamin e oil is wheat germ oil

18oz fresh Goat’s milk and 7.8 oz lye
