Hello, I made this batch without the palm oil. After 24 hours, the soap was hard as a rock! I couldn't cut it with my usual soap cutter so I used my kitchen knife and this is what 😳 happened. I placed the mold in an insulated box (cooler/icebox) to keep it warm so that the soap can go through...

I took a new job two months ago and with over time, I hardly had a time to make soaps. When a friend of mine asked me to make wedding favors for her, I then had a great excuse to make soap!!! Though I had to sleep at midnight for two weeks :), I had a great time making them! I even make...

Here they are! :-P I finally finished them!

I don't use sodium lactate regularly in my soap, but sometimes I use liquid sodium lactate in CP milk soap. I am out of it right now, so I am using the SL powder(Lotioncrafters) instead. For the first batch, I used 100% water and added the SL powder in warm lye water. No problem. For this...

I've been wanting to buy some essential oils at Lebermuth and I was all ready to do so yesterday. But I didn't realize that I need to purchase at least $300 worth of items to waive $20 processing fee at the check out. I still need to add at least $100 worth of more items to fulfill the $300...

I made a total of 5 batches of brine salt soap in July(all different recipes). After one month, I've noticed that this particular batch of soap seemed much lighter in weight compare to other batches. I thought it was odd...hmm.. Well, last night, I noticed a tiny sliver of soap floating on the...

I made my very first Aleppo soap using salt water. 70% - Organic ex virgin olive oil 30% - Laurel berry oil No EO/FO Everything went well until I was ready to cut the soap. It was as hard as a rock after 24 hours and it started to crumble as I was cutting. Salt may be the culprit...

So, I received my laurel berry oil shipment one week ago! I've been reading old threads on Aleppo soap while trying to make my very first laurel soap. But I still cannot decide on which method to choose: CP or HP. Nor my choice of liquid in soap: Salt water or Distilled water Also I cannot...

I am a long time soaper but have been a member to this Soap Forum for only seven months. I see many of the same people here every time I'm here. I am so addicted to this forum! Every chance I get, I'm on my laptop and logged on. If I'm out, I use the app on my phone to be on here. At work I have...

I ended up making two batches of brine salt soap with the same exact recipe. I accidentally dissolved the lye first and then added the salt to hot lye water. So I had to make the second batch by making it the other way - dissolve the salt in the water first, and then add the lye :)! Batch #1...

I need several .5 oz size EOs. Hmm..I see one of the ads on SMF website, the Pipingrock.com. Wow...I clicked on it for the first time. I am thinking to myself, ads do work :-o! The price seems right. Free shipping. Has anyone bought EOs from here? Or where is a good place to purchase the .5...

Last night, I noticed my experimental butter shampoo bar had white stuff on the surface. They were curing on a soap rack the whole time without disturbance. I have no idea what this is! I saw it two years ago when I made 100% Shea butter soap. I ended up throwin all of them out. It looks...

Love this soap! Not only did I add the avocado oil in recipe but I also added real organic avocado puree at the trace. Even without the piped rose on top, everyone says "whoo~~" when I give this soap as a gift. It's one of my favorite luxurious soaps :angel:;).

Has anyone used Camelina oil? If so, please let me know. You see, I bought a GALLON of organic Camelina oil from Mountain Rose Herbs, thinking it was Camellia seed oil... The descriptions of Camelina sounded like Camellia to me! I was planning to make shampoo bar with the camellia seed oil...

I am an EO girl. At least for the last six years...But, ever since I started to make cake soaps, I fell in love with delicious FO scents! I mostly have used them in my MP soaps. But I don't have much of experience of using FOs in CP and I am afraid of discoloration, seizing, fast tracing in CP...
