I just had a look at the fry masta site. And I was excited because I've seen it in the butter/margarine isle at the supermarket. The website lists the ingredients as: Vegetable oil, citric acid, antioxidant (319), antifoam (900). I was told as well that stuff sold as "vegetable ghee" in...

I buy my lye at a hardware store chain called Bunnings. It even says on the box "perfect for soap making".

While I'm on this, does anyone know where I can buy cheap cocoa butter? I went to an African hairdressers/beauty parlour and they had cosmetic grade stuff but it was sooo pricey. I would rather buy from a store - online store's shipping costs an arm and a leg.

I test everything I do on myself first but my family is still really dubious about the whole thing. My aunties and uncles always do the "thanks but no thanks" thing when I tell them to try some. My uncle even gave his son a warning, "when you go to your cousin Christine's house don't use the...

I was at Ikea today and I saw an excellent wooden mould. Its supposed to be a wooden "pot plant holder" but I'm def going to use it as a mould. Only $10

Really? I'm boycotting! Too much hype! Plus Nicole Kidman's face looks like its made out of wax. They're hoping it to be the next crocodile dundee. Boost tourism to Australia. Thanks for the link, I've wanted to buy stuff from that site before. I'm gonna make a wishlist for my birthday :P

Hey guys, I love using palm oil in my soaps but the only place I could find it was this little Lebanese grocery store and they sell it for like $10 a kg. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy it cheaper, especially in Sydney, or anywhere else in Australia.

I wonder if it would be possible to make lye from cigarette ash! HAHA!

And by the way, I mean crushing up an incense stick and adding at trace.

I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried to make an incence soap? I love the smell of nag champa and I think it would be an excellent scent... Or is it a no no??

I am a newbie so I apolagise for being annoying for the next... six months or so. Anyway, I recently bought some fragrance oil and one of the main ingredients is propylene glycol. Does anyone know if this is safe to use in CP soap?

NM! Found it :)

Really? I would think it would make my clothes oily! Thanks for the tip but I already chucked it out and my dads taken the garbage out I think, if not I shall salvage! Where is this link you speak of guys? I cannot find it.

Thanks for replying. I think you are right about the coconut oil. I will definitly use less next time but I tried the soap again today and its made my skin very tight and dry. Too bad I have to chuck it out but its all trial and error I suppose. As for the exploding... I went to check on it...

Hi guys, I am new to this and have made one and a half successful batches :o I've read alot of stuff online about the properties of oils but I was wondering what you guys have experienced with certain oils. In my second batch it was very heavy on coconut oil, here is the recipe: 310g...

I would love to know how you add this goats milk at trace? Does it curdle? Do you use goats milk ice cubes? And how much do you add?
