I do not understand what you mean? Did it fall on the ground? Is it stained from the mold? Do you have a picture?

I didn't know Kmart was still a thing, but here it is for 9.99 on their site: https://m.kmart.com/wilton-peeps-silicone-bunny-chick-easter-mold-12/p-SPM14325989519

My niece is getting married this summer. For her shower, I am giving her a box labeled "Things you asked for" with gifts from her registry. In a box marked "Things you didn't ask for" I will put useful things that you don't think of til you need them. Like, masking tape and sharpies, a couple of...

In the U.S., commercial laundry powder detergent comes with quite a large measuring cup. When I use homemade powder, I only use a couple of tablespoons. So, yes-- speaking of my personal experience, I use less homemade laundry powder than the commercial ones.

That sounds like something my Phoofie would have said. Does Oma also say "God bless it!" as if she meant the opposite?

Sounds more like ricing to me. Did you use a fragrance oil? An essential oil?

What kind of soap dish are you using?

If you Google "dry shampoo recipe" you'll find lots of them. Maybe you will even find one with those same ingredients.

😆😆😆 Sheesh! How old AM I! Or, rather, clearly I was around my grandparents a lot. Or is it a regional thing-- do we midwesterners all still think of the fridge as an "ice box"? 😆😆😆

If it's only been 10 mins since you put it in the mold, I don't think you need to HP it at all, as long as you can get the OO blended into the batter.

An ad for this popped up in my FB today...

I have to disagree. When I was starting to use a calculator, soap calc was confusing and intimidating. Soapee and soap making friend are much more approachable in my experience (as a newer soaper than some-- just 5 or 6 years). The point, of course, is to try one. If you don't like it, try another.

Personally, I think that's a large batch of soap to be making as a beginner, especially if you're making 4 batches in one week. If you learn how to use a soap calculator, you can easily scale down a recipe to fit a smaller mold. Don't have one? Margarine tubs make great little molds.

This is going to be a trial and error situation until you find the combination that works best for you. But, yes. You can start with the method you suggested for determining % of oils. A few teaspoons of the salt can be dissolved into your water. The clay can be added to your oils at about 1 tsp...

If I don't make it in time, you don't have to send me a voting link.

Have you visited the business section of the forum? I think that would be a good place to start. There is even a thread about how to know when to start: https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/are-you-ready-to-sell-your-soap.16002/

That's how I add mine. I have done carrot, pumpkin, and avocado this way. That's also how I do powdered milks. I mix the powder with a little water and then blend it into my oils. Then, I am not dealing with frozen chunks or ice baths.

I'm not a huge cabbage fan, but my favorite thing is the heart or core. When my mother cooked cabbage, she would save me the heart. I would eat it raw, sometimes with just a little salt.

From what I understand, sodium hydroxide is used to adjust the pH in some cosmetic products.
