    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I made a batch of CP today after a four year break. The last time I made it I made so much that I had to stop and use it up. I got The One Mold and it makes a lot of soap. Anyway, today's batch was a great one to start again with. It behaved nicely and the FO didn't accelerate at all. I used...

    GLDA, a modern alternative to EDTA

    Where can it be purchased? I have been looking and haven’t found a place to buy any.

    D-Limonene

    I’m interested in hearing about how it turns out. I love the smell of lemon. Orange EO is divine also.

    salt bars not letting go of my molds

    I only use silicone cavity molds for my salt bars. The plastic ones don’t release certain kinds of soap well, so I rarely use them.

    Random Picture thread (non-soap)

    They’re so cute! This is my new rescue kitty Lucy. She is super sweet and funny.

    Sunflower Oil

    I use HO Sunflower and love it in soap. It doesn’t have that slimy feeling that you can get from OO either.

    Snake Skin Soap

    It’s very easy to see if there is any of that on the skin. I simply tear that portion off and discard it. Edited for spelling.

    Snake Skin Soap

    I’ve made a Couple of batches using snake skin in my lye water. Most of it dissolves in the lye, and I pour it through a strainer to get the solids out. It isn’t really any wierder to me than using silk, which comes from worms. My snake skin soaps have a smooth silky feeling. The light green...

    Fluid hot process soap

    I have done it a few times. It has never adversely affected my soap. No DOS or other issues at all. I put in about half a cup right at the end before pouring. It’s hard to tell that it’s HP.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I made a simple one color batch of CP with a lot of nice beef tallow that my son’s friend brought me. This is my first time using The One Mold. The instructions say to leave the soap in the mold for at least 48 hours. I’m going to do that. If anyone has tips on using this mold I welcome them.

    Lye didn’t dissolve completely

    IMO it’s not worth the risk of burning yourself or someone else. This batch is not safe. Please chuck it and start again.

    Lanolin oil

    I use it in my shaving soap. I like it. Using it in soap is going to give that squeaky clean feeling on your skin when it’s wet. As soon as your skin dries that feeling goes away and the skin is left soft. I have not used it in my other soaps.

    Multiple embeds in melt and pour?

    Yes, she explains everything really well too. That is a great place to start.

    tube /cylinder sopa molds

    I have two of the Bramble Berry column molds. They come apart completely into two halves. This mold fits together well and is made of good quality silicone. I noticed that the first time I tried using it the sides opened when I tapped the mold to remove bubbles. Now I use monster clips from the...

    Jojoba vs Lanolin

    You can zap it in the microwave for short amounts until it melts, and then it’s easier to deal with.
