Very interested to hear what others think. I have several designs where I start separating into colours and pouring when the mixture is just barely emulsified, mixing with a whisk, have not had any problems doing this as yet, but there is always a first :-)

I'm another that wont use pyrex, found out long ago it's not as safe as they would have you believe. Took my casserole dish out of the oven, put it on the kitchen sink, heard the crack, sure enough picked it up in 3 pieces. Will never buy another

Like everyone else that has answered, I see nothing wrong with them. A trip to Nimbin, make sure to pack the soap it will be a hit

Somewhere on the net I found a essential oil mix labeled Water: 1 Lavender, 1 Rosemary, 2 Bergamot Can't tell you it smells like water, but it smells good

Love the Lemongrass, Lavender, and Coconut one.

For soap with melt and pour embeds I would choose the fridge/freezer, the soap gets hot enough to melt these during gel, as you have seen. I learned the hard way too

I use sodium lactate in every batch at 2% of the oil, I add the sodium lactate to my lye water and decrease my water by this amount

new12soap: This is not for me I make my own lotion and have no intentions of selling. A friend does this to sell and it has me confused how adding things after the lotion is already made with no checking of the formula or preservative is safe. Robert: Thank you for explaining this, what has me...

Thank you for the answers to my questions, they help a little but I'm just thinking 1. Wouldn't you need to heat the lotion base to add any extra oils and wouldn't heating this spoil the preservative? 2. What about the heat and hold thingy, to make sure there are no nasty things in water based...
