I use these books a lot; this is the online index: https://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/mgmh.html Also, search Etsy for inspiration. I like adding milk powders and/or (colloidal) oatmeal.

Looks great and the stamp is so cute :smile:

Cause you can't sell an inferior product?

It's not oil soluble, so I think it would get gritty. There's more info on swiftcraftymonkey's blog.

I'm not one to complain, but in this case, I would. They should have properly stated that instead of coming up with some completely bogus answer.

:-D Cute!

Could you explain why?

:wink: It wasn't directed to anyone in particular Grayceworks; the use of spices was mentioned before.

:mrgreen: Wow, you could have totally fooled me with that. They look edible!

:-) Please do let us know, it sounds absolutely scrumptious.

I second the honey. Be very, very careful with using spices in soap. Clove, cinnamon and nutmeg can cause skin irritation and rashes. I do use some sprinkled ground cinnamon to decorate the top of my pumpkin soap. But to really be used as a colorant, pigments and mica's are a much safer...

;) I put the fragrance/essential oil(s) in my mold. That way, you'll never forget them again.

;-) The fats in the milk are simply saponifying. "Goat milk butter fat" does not equal goats milk. If you want to be exact, you could determine the milk fat content and include that with your oils and butters. But like tryanything said, it's easier to just slightly lower your superfat or don't...

The word "moisturizing" (which is false advertising anyway) makes soap a cosmetic and you'll have to label accordingly. I would take that out and list the ingredients.

You can use tea as your liquid in any recipe you want.

Don't! Batches like that are completely salvageable...

I think there's some kind of misunderstanding here. Cmzaha uses little or no superfat (nor lye discount). However, when you're using food or tech grade lye, you'll end up with superfatted soap anyway, because of the impurities in the lye. The majority of saponification has yet to take place at...
