    Blue shampoo bar

    I have a good shampoo bar that I scent with tea tree and color with nettle. I'd like to do one with a natural herbal blue color for grey/white hair. I have Indigo but I'm afraid it might turn into a little old blue hair lady soap. I see that Blue Malva is used in shampoos but I don't know how...

    Dilema

    How do you folks handle shipping costs? Do you charge a handling fee? I'm just starting out with my business and decided to go with a flat rate of $10.00 for shipping but I can see that I will go broke soon if I don't charge more. Currently I'm using USPS flat rate boxes but because I offer...

    Me too, please!!!

    I did a dress rehearsal in my basement for a very small show I was in last week. I think my table looks good but I know it can always be better. One very good thing about doing a small show is getting a feel for what customers like and dislike. Does it look like I have enough product? I...

    What I love about soap making

    One of the things I love about soap making is that every time you cut a new loaf it's like opening a present. It can be something you've made before using the same fragrances, formula, techniques, and colorants but no too are the same. Last time I made this it looked like a piece of Jade but...

    Soap Calc Pro

    I have the Soap Calc Pro mobile App and it always offers an alternative formulation which sometimes I use and sometimes I ignore. Does anyone else use the Pro version? I think it causes me to doubt myself because it always pushes up the cleansing to higher than I want or swaps out oils, and...

    Black Pepper EO

    I just got an order of fragrance and essential oils and one if them is black pepper. It smells great but I'm wondering if any of you have any suggestions on what to put with it. Any ideas?

    Life gets in the way of soaping

    I hate it when life and responsibilities get in the way of my soaping!!! I love all things soap. It's not as if I'm addicted or anything but I just want to think soap and make soap. I want my house to clean itself (and I want it to be clean.) I want my husband to be waiting in the shadows if...

    SoapCalc App for IPhone

    Does anyone use the SoapCalc Pro App for IPhone? I like the fact that it gives you suggestions for a more balanced (sometimes) recipe but it always pushes the cleansing way up, higher than I'm looking for it to go. I know it's just a suggestion but I guess it causes me to doubt myself. If you...

    What Temperature?

    I'm curious. At what temperature do you normally soap at? I usually soap at room temperature which in the winter can be pretty cool.

    Inexpensive Soap?

    If you had to make the very best soap possible for little cost what ingredients would you use?

    Another question

    Suppose I have $50 maybe $75 to spend in colorants and e/o or f/o. What would you purchase? I need more colorants than F/O.

    A Secret Process

    So I Googled "Artisan Soaps" and I stumble upon a site which says she uses a "A secret European cold process saponification method." I'm pretty new to soap making and I don't know what I don't know but what do you folks think of that claim?

    Almond Oil

    A big mistake

    I made this yesterday and was trying so hard to get the altered mica pencil line technique down that I forgot to add my essential oil. I got up this morning to cut it and I was hoping it would be a disaster so I could just rebatch it. But it's kind of pretty. What do you think? Should I just...

    How do you tell if something is rancid.

    I made a soap today with Shea Butter that didn't smell right to me. My husband said it smelled fine so I went ahead with it but I'm not sure. It doesn't smell right to me. Do you just go by your nose or dies Shea butter smell funky? Sent from my iPhone using Soap Making
