I know you said you don't want to buy a bunch of different bases but I know BB and at least one other site has sample packs you can buy that way you get a small amount of different types and see what works best for you and your family.
I'm quoting what I've read on here before you want to keep it wrapped tightly and store it in a cool dry place. Keeping it wrapped tightly helps keep it from drying or absorbing extra moisture.
This is my first attempt at doing a swirl using my 4 inch silicon mold from BB. I used white and clear base from BB I used island coconut and lime fo from BB.
Yes it is. It's the first one that I have used and I love it. I don't have to put petroleum jelly like I do with the plastic ones. I think it was $3 and some change before taxes at Walmart.
The top one is purple and I used the plan clear bade with lavender eo the green one again is clear base with cucumber melon the pink and orange ones are both goats milk the pink is rose and the orange is sweet orange.
I got this mold at Walmart and each one is about 2.5 ounces.
I've read that you can use some herbs but you have the potential of DOS and I think it might even turn brown. Hopefully someone with more experience will put their 2 cents in soon.
This is the bar I made using the Shea butter it scented it with sweet orange fo.
This is the one using the honey base with honey almond fo colored with some red mica and yellow die that I had.
For Christmas my wife got me the M&P sampler kit from BB. I just made a bar with the Shea and one with the honey. I'm in love with this base. Thank you to everyone that recommended getting base from there instead of the local hobby stores.
I found this M&P base recipe on pentrest and would like to know how I would use a soap calculator to see if it's right.

Thank you in advance.
I have an other question about eo's my wife bought wintergreen eo for something that I can't remember why. I was wondering if it can be used safely in making melt and pour soap or any other soap? Again thank you in advance.
