    Is my first candle alright?

    Thank you for your feedback. I think the pool never quite reached the full container, I should have used two wicks as the jar widens below the neck. I didn't tell the supplier what containers I was going to use so he sent large ones but I don't have more details. Next time I will order from a...

    Soap in salt (hard) water test

    Sorry I have just realised I didn't reply the your kind post explaining all the ingredients of my sindet shampoo. Thank you so much. I bought it without reading the ingredients properly so I didn't know I was buying surfactants after all. In any case it seems less aggressive than other shampoos...

    Shampoo Bar - Thanks Lindy!!

    Living in London with the most incredible hard water is frustrating. I call my shampoo bars "travelling shampoo" because I can use them everywhere else but home. I recently bought SLS free liquid shampoo, all natural from my soap ingredients supplier. (I don't know how to do liquid soap so i...

    Ash or Mold, Quick Responce Apprecated.

    I have had something similar on the top part of a batch of soap. It dissolves almost as you touch. Is it salty to taste? Mine was, I just brushed it off the bars and it was fine. It formed in the first 24 hours so I assumed it was related to soda ash.

    Scar balm?

    I love Rosehip oil. My daughter suffered a cigarette burn in her face while on holiday (I was so upset someone just passing by did it by accident). She was just 3. I applied organic Rosehip oil twice a day for more than a year. No visible scar now.
