Hi, has anyone tried Brambleberry’s soap paste? I recently revisited liquid soap making after finding a box of foamer pumps in my supply closet. I used Brambleberry’s High Sudsing soap paste in an effort to save time. I diluted 7:1. I neutralized with a salt solution and added the preservative...

I bought 4 of those molds but sadly got so frustrated I went back to my loaf molds. Mine wouldn't full gel either but I was more bothered by how much soap I was losing from overheating. I'd lose a few lbs. of soap from each batch.

I realize it isn't a powder but I like red palm oil at 1-2% for a natural yellow color.

I have been making 50 lbs. batches for a wholesale account. I am getting by with my current scale but a larger capacity would be nice.

I just cleaned up a large batch of salt bars and have a quart sized Ziploc bag full of salt bar shavings (salt dust). I would like to do something productive with it. What have all of you tried?

I usually use kaolin or bentonite.

The owners of the dispensary wanted to sell the soap. They already have some soap in their shop but they liked the look of mine better. They said it is supposed to help people with skin conditions and arthritis. I declined their offer. I am a public school teacher and I can't have my...
