This was the recipe I was talking about in http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=57985&page=2 ....(Bar vs. Loaf) 10% Olive 40% Palm 50% Coconut Since this ratio didn't work out for me. (btw no one who has used it says its drying for their skin) Any suggestions on tweaking it? I...

It is not all in clumps and they do seem easy to break. I think I will try a few more times with this lye but try to find something to put the lye in and seal it. Also, thanks for the info about the foil...

Nooooooooo. Crap. I guess that was wishful thinking. :cry:

I'm excited about the oven process/ no 4 week cure part. I have had overheating and separating in the past but I'm not worried about the oven. My dh has our "old" oven in the garage for a hotbox, so I don't have to worry about the oven spill part- I will put foil in the bottom to catch anything...

I think it was the recipe but just in case I'd like to do the oven process. Does how long you oven process the soap depend on the recipe or how can I add an oven process time to my recipe? Thanks

I got a 12 individual soap bar mold and feel like I entered a new universe. It's kind of like this one: http://productimages.brambleberry.com/2015_Product/Molds/6BarOvalSiliconeMold_SIL68_Main_A.jpg Anyone have resources on how to make sure it comes out ok. Do I need to get a heating pad or put...

First, bless you for having a place to talk about relationships Saponista- I can relate to what you are saying. My mom errs on the Nice Lady side of things where I go mostly to *****y yelling when angered. It's been a challenge because I'm not raising my daughter to be nice. I don't make her...

This particular recipe didn't overheat or separate. I think because of how I used my stick blender (hand blender). My temp was 120 degrees F. I think before my temp was higher- around 130 degrees F (and a different recipe). This time I used a mold that does individual bars instead of a loaf...

How do you use your hand held blender. Yesterday I made a batch of lavendar- lemongrass 50%coconut 10%olive 40%palm. And I blended with 5 second bursts and hand stirred. I seem to have a history of getting a false trace or my soap overheats and/ or separates, so I'm trying to cut that out. 8-)...

Anyone ever tried lemongrass litsea and lavendar?

Ellacho thanks for the welcome!!

Does anyone have a ratio for a lemongrass/ lavendar blend in cp soap?

Hi, everyone. How's it going? I'm a new soaper. I've made a few batches and botched some as well. I thought that was a good sign I wasn't a brand new soaper.
