Here it is. Been chilly so it looks like the CO on top congealed....

Thanks DeeAnna. It does look like oil. I don't mind the cloudiness so much as it'll be kitchen soap. I may just ignore the oil and use this as is.... I just wanted to see what the issue was that I can try to avoid in the future....

1 - same supplier, but it's not new. it's about a year old, but not clumpy 2 - yes, it's accurate. I made another batch of 100% OO LS paste, which is diluting now, but not oily. 3 - yes i did. it gelled quickly. it seems that it's getting less and less oily as it's diluting. i'm...

448g CO 128g KOH 110g distilled water 65g glycerine 0% SF 38% water I used the CP method for LS, which has worked the last 5 times I've made LS.

Hi all! Still quite a newbie with LS making. Yesterday I made 100% CO LS paste, let it sequester for a day. Today I went to dilute (no...didnt check for cloudiness), and not there's oil in the pot and the water is very cloudy. What can I do with it now?

i made soap last night, and left it on top of my dehydrator when i was on to get it to gel. went to sleep and forgot about it. woke up today to some brain looking thing on top, and the bottom seeping a bit - it's overheated. i'm gonna leave it in the mold for a few days before i cut into it...

depending on who you're making the soap for (adult vs baby), the recipe would be different. but process would be same as if you were to make GM soap.

this little elf has been good! have all the xmas soaps wrapped, and just 17 left to add gift cards to! yay!!! there are still other presents to wrap, laundry to fold and put away, house to clean, but that's a whole different story.....

wdid the soaps! altho, one didn't turn out the way i wanted. top got stuck on the lid, and .....make a mess since i didn't wait long enough to remove the top. oh well. i'm sure i can still salvage it somehow... will cut later. but good news is......I'M DONE! woo!!!!

I had a milk goat, and I couldn't bear to throw away any milk (stuff not for human consumption). I started making soap to prevent that, and now I use soap as a way of making a keepsake out of something that's perishable. I no longer have my beloved goat, but the memory of the good times we had...

vetivert is an amazing basenote. don't overdo b/c it does take over. it's a very grounding scent, and IMO wherever you use patch as a base note, you can use vetivert instead.

i didn't use PS80 (not even sure what it is) in my liquid soap when i first made it like 2 months ago, and i've seen no separation of scent. but i did regular dilution for dish soap use, and not for foamer

officially panicking! i had grand plans to soap last weekend, but work stuff got in the way. I WILL be soaping this weekend. no ifs, ands or buts!!! i would have so much more done if it weren't for the cleaning up after soaping..... can't wait to see the gingerbread soap house!!

omg. excuse me while i pick my jaw OFF THE FLOOR. this is amazing!!!!!!! congrats on the 2nd place win!!!!!!

sorry, maybe b/c people are thinking about thanksgiving, and not yet made the transition to xmas? hope your next ones pick up.... there are lots of last minute shoppers out there...
