Please And there is always a gate keeper... how rude you are.

a rule of thumb. i use is harder oils for harder band softer oils for softer bar - i usually aim for a 50/50 split but within 10% either way.

This is a soap bar cage. this is designed to hold a bar of soap and allows you to swish it around in water for dish washing. Depending on your soap. it may be good to wash dishes but you might find fragrance oil sits on them and you dont want to eat it really. I also use my bar soap to wash the...

Good call...

Okay thats a good point. obviously the motion you use in the mould will create different swirl, so thats going to be a interesting video as ill need to show how motion and trace affects the design - ive got a great idea for that... thank you

nice ideas. thank you

I took a few of these from Soap Queen website if you want to find out about swirls

Totally looking at other techniques. but certainly want to concentrate on swirls first. then pours like column, ombre and gradient and embeds and stuff.

I had some (and by some i mean probably a metric tonne) of soap bars. so i wanted to come up with a way of christmassing some up. what do we think?

What level would you give the following swirls? Would they be beginner intermediate or advanced in your opinion? and have i missed any? In the pot (ITP) One pot wonder (OPO) Drop swirl (DWS) Mantra Swirl (MSW) Taiwan swirl (TSW) Hanger swirl (HSW) Zebra Swirl (ZSW) Peacock swirl (PSW)...

You got through your first batch. Well done! Hope you wrote everything down so next time you can adjust your process. by the way. If you use citrus essential / fragrance oils they tend to behave better than warm / spicy / floral notes.

I’d suggest running the following through a soap calculator 30% Olive 30% Coconut 5% Avocado 5% canola (rapeseed in the UK) 30% Lard It gives you 60/40 split in favour of hard oils -which should help you with a harder bar (but i think you may need to leave it in the mould for a couple of days...

Hello.

It is very dependant on your geographical location (local temperature etc) This video is excellent and explains the ratios brilliantly.

I see you’re in the US - but for context, in the UK to make any claim on soap other than “gets you clean” - we have to have the soap tested by a lab for each “claim we make” (and even for standard soap we have to have each recipes approved by a cosmetic chemist before we can legally sell a soap...
