i have been looking in the health sections in stores more often than i used to.. finding odd things to use for soap. for some reason i thought that chlorophyll was just used for soap.. apparently it is a good for you supplement as well! lol bought a bottle for $5.99 and had to give it a shot...

i dont know how i feel about the energy scent. i just cannot get past the fact that it smells like sweet tarts.. maybe slightly on the too artificial side for me to enjoy it. you certainly pick up lots of citrusy scent, it just doesnt smell real. kinda like how it came out either way, some of...

when you plug the numbers into soapcalc it shows that the iodine level would be extremely high. is there something i am missing? will castile soap spoil? or is olive oil the one exception to the rule? HELP!! i want to make some, but cant get myself to get the ingredients ready while thinking in...

yesterday i made an on the fly batch after my boss called and told me to come in 3 hours later than usually. i found a couple of EO's on sale at a local supplement supply shop and thought i would give a new style of soap a go. whole milk soap with a few yolks added. Lard (manteca)- 23% Olive...
