    Coming back to soap making - Liquid Soap Help!

    Hey there! I haven't made soap in over a year and when I did make soap, I was making CP bar soap! I'm now interested in making some liquid soap for Christmas gifts and have a few questions.. 1. Can I use soapcalc to determine the properties of a liquid soap? Or is there a liquid soap...

    Does the smell of the BASE OILS fade eventually?

    Maybe it's just my nose then.. It's tarnished from the stink of that beer soap.

    I think it's the Babassu and Castor Oil I used Olive, Castor, Coconut, Babassu, Sal butter and Shea butter

    Does the smell of the BASE OILS fade eventually?

    I think my combination of base oils might stink a bit.. and I was wondering if those smells fade away during curing?

    Nice :) I had one cedarwood base and one vetiver.. I went with the vetiver.. but I think the cedarwood is a bit nicer because it's more fresh scented in comparison.

    LOL! Stinky Beer Soap!

    I did.. It's like a smoky leather smell.. We'll see if it smells good.. I'm having doubts though. I don't think it's a good soap smell. I was trying to make a man smell.. HAHA!

    Okay! Thank you. I'm hoping it goes away.. And I'm hoping my EO blend isn't TOO awful once it settles.. LOL!:lol: Vetiver smells really smoky woodsy.

    LOL! Stinky Beer Soap!

    I made this really nice Guinness soap.. And I made my own EO blend (don't even ask) and it smells SO FREAKIN' DISGUSTING!!! I just wanted to share.. Okay the EO blend had Vetiver, Clove, Lavender, Patchouli in it.. lol. This soap smells like a wet dog (maybe it's the coffee grinds, maybe it's...

    Is doing M&P Cheating? Like a Box Cake Mix?

    I feel like melt and pour is cheating.. but I also feel that it's possibly a fun way to do different things that you might not be able to do with CP soap. I feel like a CP soap is more natural.. as you decide every ingredient that goes in it..

    Brambleberry says different (lye/water ratio)

    I do love spreadsheets.. I'm going to make one while my lye mixture cools! ^_^

    Brambleberry says different (lye/water ratio)

    I do the calcs by hand and always check with an online lye calculator.. I was just not thinking to check my SAP values.. but all that means is that I know what to verify next time because this will be ingrained in my brain! :)

    WELL! Hahaha there's the problem! I somehow managed to use the wrong sap value for EVERY SINGLE oil... I must have mixed them up when reading off the page.. lol

    I'll double check my sap values.. I'm using NaOH
