Yeah, green and oatmeal or coffee really don’t go together. 🤢 My experiment was in NC so definitely no cold weather during the growing season. Might be worth another try in Idaho.

Thank you. The sweetener I bought is from WSP and already mixed in coconut oil. I have the same issue with the store bought powders - ick. I also grew stevia and it was also a one season attempt, for the same reason as you. It took so much to make a difference. If I remember correctly, by the...

Made a batch of lip balm today with peppermint eo and lip balm sweetener from WSP. It is stevia in coconut oil. Not sure I like it, the initial flavor is fine, it’s nicely sweet. The downside is that it has an aftertaste, like most things sweetened with stevia. Gave a tube to a tester to see...

I put a piece of Mylar in the bottom of my silicone mold to help release the loaf of soap. I have a cheap Amazon silicone mold and it really wants to hang on to the loaf. I was damaging the corners trying to get the loaf out. Mylar on the bottom helps a lot. I also have a nurture mold with much...

Great idea @ScentimentallyYours, I use this Mylar on the bottom of my silicone mold. It would also work great to line a Pringle’s can. https://a.co/d/gSe1RNk

Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you!

Welcome @Sheepysoaper !

Welcome!

Thanks!

I would use 1/3 butter, 1/3 oil and 1/3 beeswax. If you really want to use both almond and coconut oils, I would use them at a total of 1/3, not 1/3 each. I also strongly recommend weighing the ingredients especially the peppermint EO.

Love the impression mat look! May I ask where you bought it?

We had burritos tonight. Easy peasy.

Congratulations to the winners! This vote was really hard as there were a LOT of beautiful soaps. @Vicki C thank you for a great challenge!

I get an order of frozen cat food every couple months. It is packaged in a cardboard box and lined with styrofoam that is about 1/2” thick. I add a heating pad and repurpose these boxes for gelling soap. If anyone is near the Idaho Panhandle I have several extra boxes and would be happy to give...

Thank you so much! What a nice thing to do. ☺️

An emulsifier is only needed if you add a water based product. If your lip balm is made with oils, butters, beeswax and EO you don’t need an emulsifier. I have been adding 2% peppermint 2nd distill EO. Make sure you check with your supplier on safe lip usage rates. I bought my EO from...

Sending you a pm. A note on shipping. Writing it here so it may help others. I discovered Pirate Ship about 6 months ago and have used them 6-8 times with great success. Generally the postage is about half of what it costs through the post office or UPS. You create an account on their website...

So just to clarify is 9.20 for gen postage and the sorbitol?
