It went really frothy, i think because of the air in it. The froth didn't go back down so i had to bin it all - ah well.

I'm re-diluting now so I'll let u know what happens, it's super frothy cos of the air in the mashed potatoes! Ph was fine I think, I only have the paper strips, which I know are not accurate, but it looked between 8 and9. I used about 19% water and 19% glycerin, I went over with the water...

Yeah I let it cool, after diluting overnight, then reheated to add fragrance, it went a but cloudy when heated but consistency was the same, like nice liquid soap until I added the fragrance. I might leave it overnight and try diluting more to see what happens. The fragrance is sherbet lemon...

The company I plan to buy from state that they comply with EU legislation on organic products and are members of UKOGC and SOPA- do you think I can trust that these products are organic?

Thanks for the advice, I'm keen to make as 'natural' and ethical product as possible, a pure coconut oil with 15-20% superfat is also something I'm thinking about but I want a nice luxury soap too. Any other tips on environmentally sound soap making welcome! Possible percentages I'm thinking...

Hi all, I am new to making CP soap (only 4 batches so far!) but I've been doing a lot of research and would like to use the following oils to develop a bar that is organic, moisturising, creamy (but still pretty cleansing, If that's possible). I've been playing around with SoapCalc and have...
