I purchased the 7 lb bottle of hemp oil from soaperschoice. Is it okay to freeze it in smaller bottles so it keeps longer? I'm afraid I can't use it up fast enough.
I currently have it in the fridge, but would like to freeze it if possible.
I'm not sure at all what went on with this lard soap. There is a thin layer on the bottom that is more clear than the rest. Something settled out? Should I remove that bottom clear layer?
topofmurrayhill, I don't scrape the bottom of the soap out of the pot, so I don't know what that mottling...
This is the first time I've seen my 100% lard (Walmart Armour lard) soap look so translucent. I poured it into the silicone mold at emulsion because the last time I made it, I soaped it too cool and it turned into a sludge mess that I had to rebatch. This time, I soaped it warm and poured at...
I had ordered the Celandine Herb from them, thinking it was the correct one. Lesson learned, learn more before purchasing the wrong stuff! If I had done more research, I would have known. Not their fault, MY fault!
Thanks everyone!
Is Celandine Herb the same as jewelweed?
On this site, http://www.starwest-botanicals.com/category/celandine-herb/ , they are calling it jewel weed.
Just wondering if I purchased the right stuff?
Thank you! I've ordered English Rose Fragrance Oil from BB. I never thought of mixing Patchouli with a floral. I always mix it with lavender EO. I think this has opened up a whole new adventure!
I have a customer asking about a Patchouli Rose soap. Is there a fragrance oil somewhere, someplace or should I mix my own? I have Patchouli essential oil, but not fragrance oil.
If I mix my own, I'm assuming the Patchouli would quickly overpower the rose?
I made frosting for the first time and I think I went a little nuts with the decoration! LoL! I'm going to cut it today and see how it looks. That size loaf should give me 10 bars, one inch thick. I tried to place the decorations so I could cut it and not lose flowers, but we shall see!
I...
Thanks! I thought I would add some M&P flowers into the CP frosting. Anyway, the experiment for today!
I'm wondering whether I should spray alcohol between the layers of CP?

Is it possible to add frosting or melt and pour trims to a soap after it is finished, like the next day? I'm thinking if you scrape the top a little to make groves and then spray with alcohol, it might work?
I might be getting a wholesale customer with an overnight rental cottage. I don't have any soap molds that are small enough for this type of soap bar. I like the soft silicone molds that the soap practically jumps out of when you turn it over! LOL!
Anyone here have any ideas for a mold? I...
I asked my hubby to pick up a couple gallon jugs of olive oil from Sam's yesterday. The cost was $15.98. Last time I bought them at Sam's, they were $14.98. That was about 5 months ago.
Is this price increase just for Arkansas or everywhere?
