Yes, I can help with testing.

Great read! TSM!

I love those kind of swirls. Kenny from Royal Apple Berry makes a lot of those kind of drop swirls. I have one that I could gaze at for hours. Great pic Vicki C! Love that smiling woman swirl!

I was more interested in making a facial soap and embedding florals in the clear base that normally would just darken and brown with the higher pH soap on the market. It is a market appeal gimmick for sure, but a fun aesthetic is what I am hoping to achieve. I will!

I got this one for Christmas as well! LOVING every minute. Kevin Dunn really knows his stuff. Of course I am also in the middle of my cosmetic chemistry course Practical Cosmetic Formulating (so much fun!). Opening registration for Formula Botanica courses starts tomorrow (so ready!). I am...

I am super stoked! Not only did they ship me cocoyl glutamic acid for making amino soap, but they also had the ingredients for oxygenating creams and color changing lip dyes! I have so much fun ahead of me in the lab. I cannot wait to play with these HTF ingredients. Dan9250 thank you once...

Yes, the smoke is an even bigger issue so if you do decide to tackle it as a project let me know and I can give some pointers for making it a pleasant soaping experience. I use my sun room and open up all the windows and the sliding glass (it rains a lot here) so I have access to electricity...

Organizing plans for the soap lab. I have a small studio so counter space is prime. Time to deal clutter! I have also been formulating a new black soap! I hope I get time to do some smoky soaping soon! Happy New Year everyone🍾🍾🍾

Thank you Dan!😁 I am waiting to hear back from them. They have the color changing lip dye too! I hope they will work with me👍

I went to the Ghana Soap School and learned how to make authentic ABS. It took a little time to source the proper ingredients that are available here in North America and I found some African YouTubers who also have shared some of their skills making authentic African Black Soap. It is not made...

Anyone sourcing the cocoyl glutamic acid? So far I found one supplier in the Philippians but they do not ship to North America.

Black soaps are potassium based so they make lovely bodywash. Thicken up with guar gum or other thickeners.

This was a fun molded CP with embeds that appear as you use the soap. I painted each of them with mica. Very fun project!

Sounds good to me.

Cleaning up the soap studio so I can find all my awesome ingredients, LOL and make a bigger mess of course! Bath bomb dust is everywhere and it is a sunny day. Time to reorganize while I wash off all the dust.
