I love it, though it is very strong at first, but you get used to it. I love making an all tea tree oil bar.

I've been doing mp soap for 9 & cp for almost 2 years I just love it.

The pop colors rocks in soap, I've been doing lip balms in them lately. Next will be makeup :) I love her other mica's too.

The last time I asked he told me his palm was sustainable & that was for the regular palm oil.

I'm hoping sometime this weekend to make a big batch of liquid soap for shampoo/shower gel since I finally got a big crock pot. Plus making some soaps for the fall. I just made a batch of pumpkin soap with pureed pumpkin I used a portion of it as my water and added it at trace. It came out so...

You don't have to stop using palm though there are a lot of suppliers out there like columbus that get it from renewable sources where they are not hurting the environment and the animals :) I'm not into animal oils at all to me that does gross me out, but I tried using lard once and I won't do...

I can't soap without putting a butter in either cocoa, shea or mango ;)

I love the craft foam too I tried to use freezer paper, but went back to the foam :) When I first started out I used plastic grocery bags, but you have to keep it nice and smooth or you will have wrinkles in your soap.

Try candlescience they have great prices and their shipping is pretty cheap :)

Depends on what is in your water. I get terrible ash if I use even filtered tap water so I stick with distilled.

They are the same as gemlite and gemlite is cheaper. Here's a site I found for reviews of their oils http://www.thecaptainstouch.com/gemlite.php. Hope that helps.

It's better to do a blend w/orange I love it with patchouli.

I use one of those wax cutters with the wooden handle like above I just use a ruler and they come out great. I only use slab molds :)

I'll probably be in for about 10 lbs I know that doesn't help much, but this should get me started I'm normally a cp soaper, but the sfic bases I can't resist they are wonderful :)

How much will the co-op fee be? I'm interested, but I'm just small time so it won't be many lbs.
