I guess I'm the only one that just found out WPS sells FO in Fluid Ounces. My whole soaping world has been lies! LMAO :twisted:

I am doing my first craft show April 11th. And some of my soaps I wrapped in shrink wrap with open ends. Was it to early to do this? Now I'm wondering if I should unwrap them. But I put on the labels too ugh! I'm trying to get my set up straight and an inventory of what I'm taking. Did I jump...

This has got to be the worse case of ash I have ever had. Goodness Gracious! :problem: Tried a peacock swirl LOL I don't even know what to say at this point :/

Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I made Easter soap and this was my first larger batch 4 lbs. Here are some pictures. It just broke my heart when I cut it and there are Glycerin Rivers all over. I understand that they are only aesthetic and don't effect the soap, still I'm...

Hi All, I tried a bar of my soap last night and everything went well until I got out of the shower. I felt a burning and itching. No redness though. It is kind of strange because only parts of me were burning/itching. I had no burning in the neither regions (sorry) and you'd think that would...

Hi y'all, I did my first mango juice soap and put it in the freezer to stop gelling. I took it out and it has been sitting for about 24 hours. It's kind of soft and has dampness on it. When I touch the damp part and wash my hands it is soapy. Also it is starting to look ashy on all sides. :(...

Hi Y'all, I thought I'd dive into the fruit/veg additives sooooo. I juiced a cucumber and replaced 50% of the lye water for the juice which was about 6oz or 172 grams. But I over poured and it was 173. grams so I only did 171. grams on the lye water. Does this sound okay? I also added a oz of...

Hi y'all I made this soap a few weeks ago and took it off the curing rack today to find this white crumby stuff on it. Mostly on the ends. I was able to shave off most of it but some was down into the soap. No zap either. I really don't know why this happened during curing. recipe is...

I just got done trying to make a in the mold swirl pour with 4 colors. I knew I was in trouble when I started to SB and it was ready in about a minute. I had my colors all ready and waiting and I started to divide the batter among them. After I did, I noticed I forgot to put in the FO. Oh Dear...

Please take a look at this Mocha soap I made yesterday. It has a weird dark ring all the way around it. I used a nice recipe that I made. It traced slow and good. Doesn't look there are any glycerin rivers. This is my 4th batch. I made it with double strength coffee and cocoa powder. No FO...

Hi, I made a 2 lb. batch of lavender soap with lavender pigment mixed in a bit of oil with a mini blender. Everything went really well. I kept it molded for 24 hours and cut it today. I see faint streaks in it and the edges look lighter. Is this normal? It was mixed very well, and was very...

This came out so much better! Today I cut the bars and shaved some off the top because the piece of cardboard I used to cover it messed up the top. Well, I decided to wash my hands with one of the slivers and I tell you it is so luxurious, bubbly and creamy, Wow. I can't wait until it cures! I...

Here's what happened. Lots of lessons were learned. :( One is don't put your essential oils in a cheap plastic dixie cup type thing ya drug out of the bathroom. I went to move it and the bottom was stuck to the freezer paper but the top portion pulled away and I lost a half a bottle of essential...

Hi, I was wondering if this could work to cure soap on? I read it shouldn't be metal but this is painted. http://www.homedepot.com/p/ClosetMaid-SuperSlide-72-in-x-12-in-Ventilated-Wire-Shelf-4717/100040570 thanks :)

Hi all, I'm new to soap making and will be making my first batch soon. I made up a recipe and ran it through soapcalc and it looks good. I do have a question on water,lye and total liquid amounts. I would like to use coconut water and coconut milk. As I understand it I would discount the...
