I grabbed the empty bottle from the bin and it does say cold press's organic castor oil (not certified, whoops), the brand is Sun Ray Health, I'm not sure if you have that in America? Maybe ill just obmit castor oil from future recipes ><

This small bottle's best before date is 24/05/2015, I think Aussie soap supplies sells a lot of things from Brambleberry. Maybe ill order from them next time :/

Looks like ill be buying my castor oil else where from now on, I wondered how so many people could use it in recipes when it smelt like this! Haha thanks for the help!

I wouldn't have even thought of that! Ill keep it in mind, I've bought a better stick mixer since that batch and so far, so good! (:

I tried making lip balm last night, all went well .. Or so I thought! Once out of the fridge my lip balm begins turning back into liquid form! While its hard from the fridge it feels great, just like it should but I can't carry it around incase it leaks! I was wondering if this is because I...

I had a go at the non-milk, but it went like jelly! Haha, probably due to my microwave dying the second I tried to heat my coconut oil >< thanks for the tips! Once I buy more coconut oil ill try again (: I'm in Brisbane (:

Thanks for the advice! Buying ingredients in the morning (: haha ill need all the luck I can get!

Hi, I stumbled upon CP soap making while trying to find myself a new hobby. I haven't made my first batch yet as I only finished buying all my tools yesterday haha Along with watching a ton of videos on youtube and visiting a ton of other websites, I've bought The Everything Soap Making Book...
