    I was thinking it may be best to do HP for an acne type soap, to help retain some of the properties of the additives? (or is that just silly?) I'm thinking neem (I have ground neem leaf powder and neem oil also), tea tree oil, lavender.. What else is good for acne soap? I have things like...

    what the heck is this? Is it possible... (PIC)

    I made a goatsmilk bastille tonight (75/25%) and I know GM usually overheats so I didn't insulate it at ALL. I don't have any fans in my house though. After about 10m you could see a good gel starting. A few minutes later I see that dreaded line of separation (ARGH!) so I rush to my bedroom...

    OMG that looks lethal!

    Seriously their instructions look dangerous.. no telling what kind of caustic "soap" you'd make, and the fact that it's intended for the face... I shudder at the thought! I was searching for a recipe for acne soap - thinking the usual; TTO, charcoal, clay.. ??? And I found this: Honey...

    My bread and butter... okay it has nothing to do with bread

    SoapCalc has Tallow-Beef, Tallow-Deer, and Tallow-Sheep Which do you think is most closely related to Buffalo, as far as SAP goes? I'm ready to try out my new tallow but I don't want to screw it up!
