I purchase the dried herbs you mentioned above and put a heaping teaspoon in about a third cup HOT water and allow to steep 5 minutes, then wash my hair leaving it on while I wash my body. It suds beautifully due to the soapnuts (ground to a powder). Good luck!

I have a bucket heater from Duda Diesal that is 6" wide and works well. I masterbatch my oils and that is what I use it for. To get solid coconut oil out of the 50 pound bucket I use a long handled steel spoon I found at a restaurant supply store. It works fine to scoop out 15 pounds at a...

I used Sunflower from Peak Fragrance. I have soaps over 2 years old that still carry the lovely scent. Unfortunately, I have had BB fragrances fade during cure and they do not come back so I do not use the any more. I use 2.5 ounces for 10 pounds of soap. Thanks for the compliment, I am...

It is time to start stocking up on bar soap. Last year was over 600 pounds, wow! Here are some of my spring soaps, still wet and beautiful! from left to right Love Spell, Sunflower, Lilac, Grapefruit, Patchouli and Lavender. More to come tomorrow!

I made my first batch based on recipes from this group, it is diluting. So so so much easier! Love this group.

Down the rabbit hole I go! Just gave me some ideas for new soaps. Off to play!

Thanks for the information, will try another option for scrubbiness.

So oxilac acid is Barkeepers Friend, a great non scratchy powder. I was thinking of taking some of my shredded 100% coconut oil soap that I use for laundry soap and mixing it with a bit of water and oxilac acid and putting it in low profile jars for a tub cleaner, especially after using bath...

It did not take that long, I spent an afternoon making flowers. Once they cure, it is just a matter of taking a couple minutes to stick them on. So much fun!

This is cold process soap with hand formed daisies. One is Whoopsie Daisy scented in Sunflower and the other is Silk Flowers scented in Bamboo and Lemon .I LOVE the way theyturned out and am looking forward to more creations!

It has been a busy day. 10 pounds each Black Raspberry Vanilla and Eucalyptus Mint and my new soap flower embellished soaps. Also 24 Easter Egg Bombs with toys. Fun day!

Here is my new Silk Flower Soap. Inside is a pink, purple and green swirl and it is scented in Spring Breeze. I see many more of these coming! I made the flowers our of soap dough and it was no where near as hard as I thought it would be. Will be cutting soon!

I found their products to be sub par. Don't like the essential oils and I have found lye less expensive elsewhere. Also had issues with the lye causing soft soap, when I changed lye the problem went away. I make thousands of pounds of soap a year so it is not inexperience. Overall unless it...

I use WSP's exclusively. Their Oatmeal Milk and Honey is awesome! Just my two cents...

That sounds like a LOT of oil. I use 2 tablespoons with six cups BS and three cups CA. My bombs spin and float.
