Hi ya :) I also use the same recipe as you do. I do a 2.5 lbs batch at a time. I also have hard water *sigh. My bars seem to last a long while. The lather is wonderful. I do notice that when it is super humid my soap does get a wee bit soft. Do you use a soap calculator to determine your water...
There are two that got me really interested one is Arianne from Le Fille de la Mer(sp?) She inspired me first then I got in a funk and stopped watching her so much then about a year later I stumbled on Katie's page. I was so inspired, she is wonderful! Her and her brother crack me up! I randomly...
I do that too! Altho I accidently left out a couple crucial micas on my table and my 4.5 yr old got to it dumped them in a pan and came and got me told me he made soap...can't be angry and the cuteness he did earn a time out. So I was waiting impatiently last week for my replacements. Eagerly...
Can you guys give some suggestions on how to do a water discount. I have been terrified to play with it but I am guessing that maybe contributing to the glycerin rivers.
Great thank you. Honestly I wish I had a real person to mentor me really. I have just been researching and following recipes and such. I know there is a lot to learn apart from what I have which is not as much as long time soapers. I will get there. I just love soap making. I have had a lye...
So then what does cause the dos? I get the point. I do agree there is a lot to learn still. I am wondering tho if you have gotten dos and I have been (let's say for sake of argument I have been doing this for a few years) if a customer was to get a soap and it had dos after several months. What...
I use all my soaps before selling them. I make sure the product is good before I sell it. There was some soap I made that was not beautiful but I did use it. I understand that I am representing the soapers as a community. I usually do know my product. I appreciate the help I just felt the first...
Ok thanks again.
I admit that there is more for me to learn, which is why I posted in this forum. I don't have anyone else to ask. I did assume that this was glycerin rivers. Half of me really regrets posting this now.
Ok thank you for your opinion.
I think there maybe a misunderstanding. The bars of soap that I referenced were 4 months old I have been soaping for a year. I have never had glycerin rivers until these two bars they seem to have only appeared recently. I was under the impression that I could...
So I have noticed a little discoloring and what I think maybe glycerin rivers in my soap...
1. Is that what it is?
2. How did I do that?
3. How do I get it not to happen again?
Also, I have been doing farmers market and it rained the bars remained dry but the moisture seemed to make them a wee...
Yesterday, i made a batch of Cucumber Melon bath bomb cupcakes!
The other day I opened my etsy store, was annoyed at avery bc of the business cards I ordered and setup an Instagram account for my store.
I want to try the salt soap eventually too!
Oh boy! Good save there lady!
