    Can I freeze my hemp oil?

    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.

    Lard soap looks translucent

    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...

    Lard soap looks translucent

    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...

    Is Celandine Herb the same as jewelweed?

    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?

    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?

    Patchouli Rose FO?

    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!

    Patchouli Rose FO?

    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?

    Problem Utilizing Site Comber

    It doesn't work for me any longer, either. I'm using Irishlass's suggestion.

    Add frosting or trim after soap is finished?

    Soap cut and not look too bad, even though I went a little nuts!

    Add frosting or trim after soap is finished?

    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...

    Add frosting or trim after soap is finished?

    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? Terry

    Add frosting or trim after soap is finished?

    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?

    Small silicone molds

    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...

    Cost increase of olive oil at Sam's Club

    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?
