Oh, and for the record I do not like Mango Madness fo!

Thank you! That soap turned out to be first total disaster, but I learned a LOT! So that's what matters. Yes, I did intend a 25% superfat. But, in the end I tried to reprocess it...and failed. How much liquid do you guys usually add to your soap when you reprocess it? I added way too much!

Hello soap friends! I am trying my hand and all coconut soap. I used 16 oz. coconut oil, 6.1 oz coconut water, 2.2 oz of lye. I added titanium dioxide and a tangerine blend to do an in the pot swirl when I realized I forgot to add the 1.6 oz of fragrance-mango madness by ED. So I added it, and...

Okay, it's killing me that I don't know which company has such disreputable service and slow supply lines. Before I make the same mistake would somebody please message me which company this is? Thank you!

Okay, that is what I was hoping you would all say. Thank you! I just have to ask what you all think of the recipe? I also added a half tsp salt and tsp sugar.

Hello everyone! I recently made a soap that turned out beautiful and smells divine. I call it my Mary Poppins soap- practically perfect in every way! However, I have been using it in the shower and it leaves the skin feeling a little "squeaky clean" if you know what I mean? I haven't noticed...

Lemon verbena and jasmine are my best selling.

Thanks guys for the great answers! I attempted to reply earlier but I must have done it incorrectly, as it doesn't seem to be posted yet. I understand now what water discounting means but how do you determine how much to discount? For example, my most recent batch I used 38% water and 20% of...

Hello fellow soapers! I am new to soaping and have only made 7 or so batches now so please forgive my ignorance but I have read of some people discounting their soaps and am curious as to why they would do that? Wouldn't discounting the water make the soap lye heavy? How do you go about...
