I made that one with a 20% SF with 30%CO and 70%lard

I used tumeric and believe it or not i used kelp and it turned into this deep orange red,

A little expensive but excited for the results, my control recipe is 5% Castor oil 5% OO 20% CO 70% Lard I did SF high though, but i did it intentionally started with 15% descending to 5% I weighted the batter and Super fatted accordingly. I scented the soap with butter rum, smells so good...

The only thing i noticed was the water loss with minimal morphing since i used 38% liquids, i also feel that the soap is a little more opaque than it usually turns out when i make it with out the e-wax, the lather is more creamier than usual.

I got it from hobby lobby. i have three dachshunds, lol i fell in love with it i try not to over use it lol!

I stay north but austin soaper as well!!

I find some useful information in some groups, but not stuff that has been broken down and well thought of, like i tend to find here. I feel bad for her costumers. Fair, ill delete the post

thats my cut, thank you so much for the compliments! It turned out to be a great bar of soap, that 80/20 man, such a great combination. So sorry for the late reply!

80% Lard 20% CO 7% SF w/ cocoa butter makes for a smooth HP batch! Smells like honey. Also makes a great bar of soap, and added 3% emulsifying wax, (experimentation purposes) very plain but smells devine!

Ive tried this, and ive used menthol crystals and chili seed essential oil. The coolness that i got was worth it but only lasted a short while after the soap cured longer the effects were not the same.

I follow this facebook group and I've read rude comments ridiculing her because of her methods and made her own HP group, which i follow as well, ive seen two of her videos posted and i think she has mentioned the trick is keeping the batter warm, thats why she has multiple smaller scale crock...

I know that in mexico they sell this brand "grisi" and their shampoo has chamomile, and that shampoo is used to lighten the hair. So maybe chamomile? Or lemon also can lighten the skin.. Or lime.

Thank you!!! Yes i cut by free hand :-), i dont have a cutting mat but been considering it since i cut my soaps too thick sometimes. yes it is because i used 3:1 water/lye ratio i was having a hard time plopping it to my silicone soap mold without my soap getting deformed or stretching out my...
