I love in Santa Monica so it's a small niche and most won't want lard soaps.

I thought it was probably too good to be true. But I still would like to do an experiment where I cure half the soap for 6 wks and dehydrate the other

Ok so I saw a post on a Facebook forum where someone bought a dehydrator to speed up curing time, making the bars "ready " in a few days rather than 6 weeks! My question is , does the same changes in the soap occur if its cured this way ie mild ....?

Thank you. I am not doing vegan fir sure but was convinced that lard soap wouldn't sell here. Good to know!!!

I would just get a cutter made with interchangeable widths btw each wire. One to cut into strips and one to cut into bars. Or make a long slab mold so that u cut it in strips width wise and then cut those into bars by hand if that makes sense.

Yes Los Angeles. Too many hipsters and hippies :)

I was wondering what oils u use for ur normal batches. I have been using olive, Shea, coconut, castor and just added rice bran. But I feel like I'm missing out. I have cocoa butter that I add on occasion too. I can't use palm or animal fats since I live in LA and I plan to sell one day and...

Ok thank you!!! So no need to worry

My first attempt at color and design. Colored with spirulina and cocoa and scented with peppermint eo

So I am still completely terrified of my lye ans proceed with extreme caution when making soap. I made a batch tonight and got a little batter on the kitchen counter. How do I clean it off? Throw away the counter? Haha jk but it totally is freaking me out

I would like to know the answer too. Half of all of my soap developed ash.

My new bath bombs colored with alkanet and lavender buds. Love them and they r making my house smell so nice while they dry!

I did that on etsy with washi tape for packaging ideas!!! Hahhaha I loaded up and then ran from it as fast as possible.

Eczema can also be caused by something u eat. I get eczema when I eat too much sugar and when I ate dairy as a small child

Didn't know how expensive this hobby could be to start. I'm getting myself into trouble. Haha have to resist more things...... Ooooh nope just bought something else

Do lotion bars go by the same standards as soap if I am selling them in the us? Or are they a cosmetic that needs to be tested etc if I want to sell them?

Good idea!

This is what inspired me http://wantcy.com/product/mint-soap-petals/ I will figure it out eventually. Just don't want to use m&p cuz I've already spent so much money on the oils and other stuff

What's birth soap? I'm intrigued. I infused some annatto, calendula and alkanet in oo today and bought a butt load of essential oils . Yay Sooo expensive! Thank you tax refund!

So I think the dots r not going to work. I tried to use one and it slipped right of out my hand and into the drain. I tried again and same thing :( I will figure it out. Maybe spread a thin layer And then break it apart into small chips. Oh well. I guess I have embeds now. It's fun to try things...
