    Fragrance Usage Rate Question

    Thanks so much- I found the IFRA document: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2163/6633/files/Voyageur_All_Natural_Pink_Himalayan_Salt_and_Neem_Fragrance_Oil_IFRA_Statement.pdf?10115 And it just states 100% for soap. Can’t figure out 100% of what? Any hints for deciphering the IFRA?

    Recipe tweak to avoid soggy shower soap

    Great- thanks! I'll definitely drop the SF. Thanks for the info about the slimy shower Olive Oil- that's super helpful. If I reduce the Olive Oil, can I increase the coconut oil? Or would you suggest adding different oil? I have avocado and am going to place an order today for some other items...

    Recipe tweak to avoid soggy shower soap

    Hey there, I'm really new to soap making- just a few months now. This was from one of my very first batches, that I made on May 17. I've been making the following recipe, but I'd like to tweak it, and thought I'd ask for some help. I prefer to avoid palm oil and lard, but am open to using...

    Hi from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory

    Hey there, I've started making soap recently as a project to do during COVID while pregnant. I found it hard to get out of the house (I usually love skiing and biking, but the pregnancy put a damper on that) and I also do pottery, but our local studio has been closed until very recently. I...
