Hi everyone, thank you very much for taking the time to reply!! I get what @MelissaG and @artemis are saying and why they say that. I didn't realise glycerin would also be listed if it was there as a result of the process, now I know! I am familiar with the name of oils and EO components but...

Thank you Melissa for your repy! Absolutely, I agree with you.

Hello all, I've been presented with an ingredients listing and I wanted to find out what soap making process is used, can I seek your opinion? Thank you! Below is ingredients list: Sodium Palmate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Aqua, Glycerin, EO (various EOs), Sodium Chloride, Shea Butter, Sweet...

Thank you so much! I have learnt a lot on this forum too. Thanks so much Obsidian. Yeah I agree.. I thought it didn't look quite like her usual Glycerin Rivers but just had no idea what it was. Yes I use palm oil but I'm experimenting with no-palm but vegan recipes. And thank you Dana89 for...

Hi all, I would like to ask what you think is the cause of the different opacities in the soap at different spots? I've had this happened before a couple of times but this time, it seems to be a circular pattern even though I've only poured the soap and did no swirling. I used this recipe before...

Thank you for your replies! I've cut off the top of the soap, will show the sides requested by Susie soon, as I've just transferred those soaps to my bf's place to try and prevent it from re-growing. :)

Hi, thank you for your responses! I found out that my another new batch of soap that has just been cured 4-5 weeks has little spots of mold now. See the white/grey fluff spots. I think my home is extra humid because mold has grown on my clothes and stuff before.. sometimes just over a couple...

Thank you for the replies! Unfortunately, I dont have access to any pics but it definitely was mold. I came across a previous post asking about mold with replies suggesting that it was soda ash. This was fluffy and pretty gross-looking mold. The recipe is below! It's a pretty classic one...

Hi soapers! I have a batch of soap that has gotten moldy:sick:, I've added oatmeal and coconut cream (milk) to it, just wondering if it is advisable to wash it off and use the soaps? Cheers and thank you!:D

okie! thank you!

Hi all, I was wondering if you guys name the isopropyl alcohol in your m&p soap ingredient list? I did usually but I also thought about how quickly it evaporated and probably wouldn't be there anymore really. Do you all list it for using it or list something for it being in your soap? I'm...

Cool! I did my workshop there too! ;) Hope to see your soaps soon!

Thank you fuzz-juzz and IrishLass! I used 280gm and 260gm for the soaps in class and at home used 10.5oz (sorry for using different units, trying to get the most rounded number). Cool, I read about gelling but didn't really know when it is considered ungelled, thanks for pointing it out to me...

Hi efficacious gentleman, nope it is not cured yet, just cut two days ago. But, the ones I cut in the workshop I attended weren't as "soft" on the day of cutting. I don't know how to explain it right.. I used two different molds and with the silicon 6-cube mold, it sticks to the side and is...

Hi! I finally made my first batch of cp soaps by myself. I did attend a workshop before and all was fine. This time, I tried a supposedly simpler 3 oil recipe (shown in picture) and it turned out softer than I was accustomed to, but I don't have much experience to compare to too. Please tell me...

Hi! I just joined the forum tho' i've been lurking around some time. I am from singapore too! Yea, wish they could relax on the lye!

this thread was really helpful! i'm now going into cp soaps and trying to decide on the best way to wrap them, didn't occur to me that cigar bands will go loose as the soap keeps drying up, thanks! previously i used shrink wrap for food for my mp soaps, they can get tricky to wrap sometimes...
