So, I made these amazing tea tree oil salt bars in my brand new silicone mold from bulk apothecary and after three washes in hot water and dawn soap there seems to be a different texture on the bottom of the mold in the cavities that had the bars as opposed to the ones that were left empty and I...

I began with the idea that 1 lb of oils plus one lb of salt would equal 2 lbs of soap, as my tea tree batch blew up to 5lbs from 2 lbs of oil. This I believe was my first mistake. (working with too little of an oil base, it cooled off faster.) I split the batch off and added red french clay...

I just made a 2 lb batch of salt bars and I'm wondering how the heck it blew up to FIVE?!And how do I calculate this in the future for sales/orders? I can see that the 32 oz of oil plus the 32 oz of salt made it heavier, but again, I calculated for 2 lbs. This may seem really simple to...
