Well here is my pumpkin soap, the FO I used is actually Pumpkin Apple Butter. Ingredients: OO, Lard, CO, Shea Butter, Castor and Beeswax 28 oz batch, used 3 oz of pumpkin puree and 7 oz water I used TD to lighten the top layer. I didn't refrigerate as I usually like my soaps to gel and this one...

So I've used AC to try to achieve black in my soap but it always turns out a grey/blue color. Anyone know what else to use to get a great black color?

Thank you, enjoyed the video and helped with my questions.

So next question, what % do you use of the puree? 1/2 of the water amount or just whatever you want?

So I want to make a soap with pumpkin puree. My question is, do I use the pumpkin as part of the water or just make the soap as usual and add the pumpkin puree to the batter when mixing in the scent?

Need pictures!

Thanks! Yes I did a pencil line with cocoa powder, not the straightest but good.

I've made coffee scented soap a couple of times, see pics. If you just use coffee and no FO then you won't get any scent and the color will be a shade of brown. In my coffee soap, the bottom layer is uncolored and the top layer is lightened with TD. I scent mine with espresso/coffee and almond...

Welcome! You've come to the right place, everyone here is so nice and helpful if you ever have any questions.

So I made this recipe last night: 65% Lard 30% Olive Oil 5% Castor with 6% SF Chamomile tea as the water, finely ground oats, chamomile EO and lavender EO. The soap is still too soft to unmold but it smells pretty good and looks really creamy. I hope it turns out ok and helps my...

Thanks everyone for your words of wisdom. I know there isn't a "cure" per say but rather something that can at least "help" to some degree. I asked my one friend if her son had any allergies (dairy, nut, etc) and she said no so I think I will take Susie's advice and just make a simple bar, I...

Will the dried Calendula petals and dried Chamomile flowers from places like Nature's Garden work for infusing? Versus if you have the plants growing outside and you dry them yourself. How much chamomile and lavender EO did you use per pound?

Very nice! I love the way spoon swirls turn out.

Great, thanks!
