I've used WSP bags and dried botanicals. I like their large bags. I've also filled them with milk, oatmeal, and clay. You can also use local plants. Not sure what grows where you live, but so many "weeds" and flowers are medicinal and therapeutic (just be sure to do plenty of research...

so pretty!

I've made paneer with lemon juice and mozarella with vegetable rennet.

well the top sure is beautiful!

If it were me I would avoid tanning....not only could it irritate the scar tissue, but getting to the point where you burn and peel repeatedly can cause severe damage to your skin (besides the risk for developing skin cancer). Also, scars don't tan so it would probably make them stand out even...

Pretty! I love layered soaps like that!

This was poured at a pretty thick trace, then I "fluffed" the top a bit with a wide craft (popsicle) stick.

Ummm, I have about 15 different soaps. About half are full bars, half are loaf end pieces. I like a variety!

I agree that a leave on formula would be a lot more beneficial to your scars than something that you wash off. Even just softening up the cocoa butter and rubbing it on would help. Oils don't always exhibit the same properties once they've been turned into soap, the perfect example being...

It's a bad phone pic in bad lighting...the yellow is more a creamy white :)

Before you make another batch with your expensive oils do a search for how to make cp soap. There's a lot more to it than just tossing lye into oil. Read as much as you can until you understand the process (and the safety requirements involved). Good luck!

I glued down a piece of quarter round molding to keep the soap from sliding. Works perfectly!

Ok, now that's just cool!

I usually use 4 or 5...the only time I use more is when I'm trying to use up oils.

Absolutely beautiful!!!!

As long as you use a soft wool fiber they are really nice! As you use the soap the wool shrinks down with the bar and once the soap is completely used you end up with a smallish piece of tightly felted wool that you can use as a face scrubby or cut open and have a little mini purse/pouch (great...

Now that's cute!

Tinctures are either alcohol or glycerin based. You could theoretically use a glycerin tincture, but I don't see why. Tinctures are internal medicine so it'd basically be the herbal version of aspirin soap. You'd be better off getting herbs and making infusions.

I like it when this happens in my soaps...I think it's a cool effect!
