Oh, I absolutely brought this to trace ... stopped blending just before possibly burning out my blender. I think because I'm an amateur with liquid soap, I trusted two different sources ... the author, who instructed to test for cloudiness/clarity, and did not say what size container and how...

The Brambleberry soap calculator came pretty darn close ... within .20 oz. on the KOH when I calculated it. I'm very happy with the end result. The lather is nice and soft, and it doesn't leave my hands dry. I did only make this because my scrub recipe called for potassium cocoate, but for...

It tingled my tongue, but did not zap it. I did run this through a calculator, and it looked fine. This soap melted clear once I placed it in a larger jar. The curious thing about this recipe is the amount of glycerin it called for, since it shouldn't need any. The writer uses 8 oz. of...

Thank you, DeeAnna. This soap is zippy, but I wouldn't say zappy. I used a published recipe, so this can't be that far off. I've started to dissolve some in distilled water and it should be ready by the time my test strips arrive. I've read that citric acid can help to neutralize the soap...

I decided to make my own potassium cocoate, since I have all the ingredients at hand. I measured everything (and yes, I used KOH) and placed it into my Instant Pot and set it to Slow Cook. I slow cooked it for 8 hours before going to bed and setting it for another 4 hours. I used two measures to...

I don't do melt and pour often, but I know several people who love the Shea Butter melt and pour from Brambleberry. These are the ingredients: Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Safflower Oil, Glycerin (kosher, of vegetable origin), Shea Butter (refined naturally crushed), Purified Water...

I can't believe I just came across this! I made my three section mold, then drew a complete blank on how I should design my soap. I decided to take it apart and save it until I come up with something. Thanks for the inspiration!

I got the 10", the column mold with the minis, and 9-bar square. By the way, the Neroli and Shea Blossom is lovely, even though I bought it less than a week before the sale.

I can't speak for the benefits of gm, but I can tell you that since I started making soap, the condition of my family's skin has greatly improved. For decades, I kept liquid antibacterial soap at my sinks. My finger nails fell into a constant state of splitting to the point that I trimmed them...

I swapped out brewed green tea for water. I refrigerated it first before adding lye. I saved the leaves to use as an additive for the green side, and used yellow oxide for the right side. One of the easiest and most satisfying soaps. I used lemongrass for scent. I've also used brewed...

I made some Shea M&P for my son not too long ago because he really likes the base, nothing fancy. I was surprised to see that it is already sweaty even though I keep it in an air tight container.

Never in my life have I seen such cute goats. Oh, and your soap is cute, too. Welcome!

Sorry I can't help, but will be following. I do cold process, and know very little about m&p, but recently found myself with lots of it; therefore, I'll need to learn more. Does keeping it in the fridge eliminate the sweating?

I just used 2 oz. of BB's Southern Peach last night and added the remainder of my Oatmeal, Milk and Honey (about .3 oz.). My kids like it, and it does smell like peach. I stick with BB only because of the honest feedback. I get lost on the other websites ... too many FABULOUS fragrances. I...

I'm beginning to think they're stalking my order history. Honestly, I just received 8 oz. of Carnation, 8 oz. of Neroli and Shea, and two 12-bar silicone molds, all three on sale right after I placed the order. Customer Service did give me a 5% discount code (which I forgot to use on my order...

I've been doing soapy things every day lately after taking some time off, but I used the last of my palm oil last night and my new shipment doesn't come till tomorrow. I have a bottle of palm kernel oil that I've been avoiding and decided to come up with a recipe and finally use this stuff...

Just like BB ... everything I buy goes on sale the following week :roll:

I love getting the free samples! Once, i actually got an additional bonus ... blue raspberry neon colorant!. Be careful, thought. When I received two carnation fo, the first one I received was nasty ... smelled like a dentist office. The second one was awesome, so I thought that was the good...

I have the Almond fo from Bramble Berry (not the Cybilla) and I added it to the Oatmeal Milk and Honey fragrance. For 2 lbs recipe I used 1.0 of the OMH and .4 of Almond, and the almond took over. I used it an all clay soap, so that probably makes it stronger. I'll use less next time.

I also like BB and get almost everything from there. But I have an awful time planning project because of the shipping. They filled my order on Friday, June 27th. It didn't get picked up by Fedex until Monday, June 30th, with an estimated delivery day of July 8th! My client had to go...
