Hello Friends, I have a question about specific gravity. I recently started using Soapmaker 3 and it is asking for the specific gravity. I can find the FOs and EOs from the vendors MSDS that I purchase from, But I'm having a hellofa time locating info about oxides, pigments, and micas. Even the...

I just purchased the program. After reading all the reviews I decided to try it. I’m excited to get started!

Love the colors! Can't wait to see it cut!

Haha I love it!

Today I am making a batch of OMH and as I was looking at my oils and lye solution cooling I realized I used water instead of GM. D'oh!

Growing faster than expected. I sell out at the farmers markets and never have enough to do bigger events :( Also people who want to argue about "lye soaps"... I have to keep my attitude in check and smile at them even though I just want to tell them to get away from my table... And the heat...

Lol love the nailed it picture! Made my day!

I started using coffee filters on all my soaps not just the round ones. It's easy to wrap the squares and loaf cut bars like a present then I add my band with printed info. You can smell the fragrances and it keeps the soap out of people's noses.

It's melt and pour. I was dropping off an order of wooden tea lights she has my dad make her and she started in on me again about wanting to sell my soap. This time she had the nerve to tell me I need to change the way I make my soap and she went and got her soap making book for me to see. I...

I made a cherry soap with those same colors. Not as pretty as yours though. Your soap looks great!

Lovely soaps and great photos. My favorite is the one with the coffee press. I love coffee and coffee soaps. Awesome job!

I know this is an oldie, but I'm bumping this thread because I wasn't sure if I should open a new one or not... I had a request to make an unscented turmeric and honey soap and I've never used that spice before. Customer said it was the only soap she can use that doesn't aggravate her skin (she...

Wow! Those are beautiful!

Yeah I was shocked and a little bit offended to hear that from someone who is suppose to be a professional. I just noticed her hair creams and massage oils don't even list all the ingredients. I don't understand what she is trying to hide.

The HP gal she suggested not using a stick blender unless I have too and not to do it all all after trace because for her it seizes and clumps up really bad. Also suggested if worried about boil over stick the crockpot in the sink if it looks like it's getting close to being finished because it...

Sorry this one is a bit long winded. Just wanted to share my day. Today at the farmer's market, I met two other soapers who just stopped by to chat. One was someone I recently met who came by again for the second time and the other was someone new. All three of us were chatting for a bit (it...

Ginger lime salt bar Lard and palm kernel coconut oil substitute bar scented with some left over holiday fragrance Unscented shaving soap Coffee and oatmeal foot scrub soap And my fugly rebatch honey rose lard bar. Loving how the lard feels! Thanks Obsidian for being such a good advocate of lard...

yeah... no zap. just soap favor. I'm gonna go for the rebatch unless anyone else thinks it looks fishy.

Well Alaska Beauty you got me second guessing myself now... I'm pretty sure its just glycerin rivers from the over heating... It's a recipe I've familiar with. I usually make my honey soaps in a flat slab mold but this time I used a loaf mold and I was trying to keep an eye on it and it went...

Hey y'all. This is probably a dumb question but I'm kind of a re-batch noob. I've only re-batched soap twice with scraps I collected from planing so I'm not sure if the same rules apply to messed up soap. Yesterday I made some honey soap that over heated and caused some nasty glycerin...
