    Some of my favs

    Some of my favs... the astronaut and the teddy are over 24", the fireman's head can be turned side-to-side, the Grinch is da bomb, the binky has a magnet in it, the ballerina's arms move, and the doctor and vampire are because I am a phlebotomist and I work at a hospital. An addition that...

    Save a life with . . . soap!

    I apologize if this has been shared before, but I thought this video was impressive. If I understood her correctly, she actually works for Unilever, and even though she mentions Lifeboy soap a few times, she never once turns this into a marketing tool, she keeps her message focused on the...

    wondering if my LS looks right

    I made a batch of LS with Crisco (new), hemp, shea butter, hazelnut, and castor. I used glycerine for 75 grams of the 175 gr Soapcalc called for. I just wanted to try making some liquid soap and I had these oils that needed to be used . . . so, I threw them in the crockpot and melted them...

    coffee batch seems soft

    I hope some experienced soapers will weigh in on this. I made the soap about 10 days ago. I discovered in my notes that the original batch was HnH instead of heavy cream. Last time was probably Folger's, this time it was a local store brand I put aside because we got home and discovered that the...

    clarity test question

    I am making my first batch of LS. I used the 50/50 method for mixing my lye solution. I used SoapCalc and set my SF at 0. It's 30% hemp oil (hence the green color) and also 10% cocoa butter so I don't think it will come out clear and I don't really care either. After it was all mixed together...

    Sudsy ammonia in soap?

    I am reading The Delany Sisters' Book of Everyday Wisdom. The Delanys were two sisters who lived to be well over 100 years old and made their own soap right up to the end. They included the recipe in the book and I thought I would get your opinions on it. 6 pounds grease, melted and clean (or 3...

    I made this soap on 12/12/13, 5% SF, SoapCalc for lye and water amounts. Crisco (new) 50%, Soybean 20%, CO, Castor, and Sunflower at 10% each. The batch was 1 lb of oils, I added some yellow oxide to the sunflower and used .4 oz of Sun and Sand FO from Essential Depot. After I poured it into the...

    MMS FOs usage info

    I am looking at some of the FOs on MMS for CP soap, in particular the Wicked fragrance (because my step-daughter is such a fan of that horrible book.) I think it's relatively new, the only recipe they have is for lotion and when I use the fragrance calculator I get the 'there is no...
