Hello all, I just did a soap project I saw on Youtube. Let me know how you like it. Thanks. I think it turned out pretty good. I am having trouble because the white layer is falling off when I go to package it though. :(

Thanks for sharing the links. I'm just starting out selling my products (salt scrubs, soap, aromatherapy blends, and lotion bars). I always seem to start out with inventory that is a little pricey, then find a cheaper alternative in most cases.

I would avoid using SLS and just know that homemade soap won't sud like the rest, but it is much better for you. I got this from an article I was reading about SLS: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), and Ammonium Laurel Sulfate (ALS) Sodium lauryl sulfate is a...

Soap Queen videos really helped me in the beginning of my journey.

To SoapSavvy I add shea butter, cocoa butter, almond oil, and jojoba oil to my M&P bases. It takes a lot of experimenting because you can over do it sometimes. I use the following for 1 lb. Also, I don't use any other base other than the SFIC. I prefer honey and shea SFIC. .5 ounces...
