I appreciate the tips ladies! For future, is there anything I can do differently to prevent this? Did I see a post made by Irishlass clear up a similar occurrence with ps 80? I'm not concerned about using the cloudy soap at home. However, the hemp oil that was a gift has become rather...

Susie, the oo used is just olive oil. I save the EVOO for my salad :) I'm pretty convinced it's the hemp oil as it's the only changed factor in the recipe. If you look back to the beginning of the thread, I posted a picture of some of the soap I've made recently without the hemp. I drew a bit...

I'll update after I try to pull some off the top. I have used a bit of the paste and it lathers nicely and feels good on the skin.

So, is been a week since I made the liquid soap with hemp using the cold process method posted by Susie, and using the recipe I previously posted. Not exactly sure what is going on with it. It's cloudy and has a milky layer on the bottom. I'm thinking it has something to do with the hemp as...

Funny you should bring this up. It's actually one of my beefs with BB. Not specifically stating what their KOH purity actually is. My opinion, it should be stated clearly on the specific product page, and the bottle itself. As far as I can tell, it's on neither. Under their lye section it...

I think this is what I'm going with:

Great point! The hemp oil is a really nice shade of green and I'm really hoping it comes through in the final product. From what I've read though, hemp oil goes rancid fairly quickly, so freezing is a great idea. Thank you 8)

Thank you DeeAnna. I'm really not looking to steal anyone's creations, I was just given some hemp oil and wanted to use it up so it wouldn't go to waste. It's not an oil that I typically use, nor do I plan to purchase any in the future. I've made a couple of cp bar soaps with it and they've...

Lol. Ok, thanks for all your help admin...

Yes, I could. I also realize that those that sell their soaps and whatnot probably don't want to divulge much, but I guess I was hoping for a bit more guidance or insight from those with maybe a bit of experience using hemp oil in liquid soap to produce a nice balance.

I was recently given some hemp oil that I really need to use up and wondering if anyone had a good ls recipe with hemp oil? I know I need to keep the % on the low side, and I've been using a cold process with glycerin method. Typically the faithful 65% olive, 25% coconut, and 10% castor. I'm...

I've made the same soap (and loved it). I'm wondering if what you're seeing is the fizzy lemonade colorant migrating into the white upper portion of the soap. After time, mine does the same.

Is there any update to this? I've been kicking around the idea of using some lard in a batch of salt bars.

Character for sure. There are no ugly soaps :shifty: Just out of curiosity, which dragons blood did you use? I'm thinking of order some from NG. I'm so put out with BB right now, I don't feel like throwing them any more of my $$. I do like your salt bars. That natural color is appealing...

...just throwing it out there. .. That said, ( hate to throw BB under the bus ) I think BB's shipping prices are ridiculous and unless something has very recently changed with their shipping practices, if you want your mold before say, mid spring... you should order it now. Their shipping has...

Just an FYI (and you may already be aware) but while WSP shipping may be "free", there is a $40 minimum order. That may or may not be a deciding factor for you, but has been for me in the past.

Impressive work. Congrats!

Thanks. I live in the Loveland area, so their warehouse is fairly close to me. According to their online schedule, they are open for a few hours this Saturday. I may see if I can arrange a bit of time to get down there. Thanks for your input! Just saw the reference to Peak Candle. Never knew...

Reviving this old thread to see if there is any more feedback on this local (to me) supplier? Their inventory seems a bit limited compared to some others, but that's not necessarily a bad thing! I'm most curious about buying lye and quality of fo's & eo's. Any input appreciated.

I didn't line the pvc molds. I used a soup can covered with a dish towel and gently pushed each soap up from the bottom to loosen from the mold.. I'm sure if you wanted to take the time, cutting strips of freezer paper would make it even easier. I have not used the molds yet on any other cp...
