I have only been soaping for a few days( this is my second batch of real soap and it's hp) I am in the process of making *this recipe* and want to know if I can use McCormick ground pumpkin pie spice to add gentle exfoliation and mild aroma, will it act funny or cause skin irritation? * The...

I Agree wholeheartedly lol, what brand and where did you get it( I'm in small town) and btw, I came up with a new recipe and was hoping you guys could check it out BEFOREI make it, lol. I'm cleaning my croc pot right now( the pot does not come out so I've got a good few mins to wait for...

rparrny... what stabilizer did you use?

well fewy ! oh well, at least there is still yummy lemongrass lol and YAY, I just got back from grabbing a stick blender and a Pyrex loaf pan with convenient lid so I can line with parchment paper and use as a mold until I can find a recipe that is my fave ( I have a big family spanning 2...

lol, I just finished reading an article about salicylates and came to the conclusion that I do not have a sensitivity( and yes I can take aspirin lol) I actually used kaolin clay mixed with coconut milk and added at very thick trace in hp with coffee and I added lavender patchouli and now...

I have not, but will look it up, thank you( it took 15 years to get diagnosed as all other dr just said here take this, tons of opiates and muscle relaxers and told me that it was my spine or my muscles or I was just over weight, even though I was almost over active with all of the sports and...

Susie, I'm so glad that I was fortunate enough to have you comment on my post. your knowledge is invaluable, thank you so much. I love citrus and cannot get enough of the lemongrass, my sister who also has fibro is also bonkers for lemongrass. I'm slightly sad about citrus not sticking in cp. do...

I am OCD about notations, I use office and have notation software on my phone that connects to my 2 in 1 netbook as well as a 1 terabyte external hard drive to save notes and recipes I also have hp instant ink so I can print a ton of my recipes so I can write on them as they are taped up in...

I agree, I put the croc pot ball( what was left of it) in a soap dish to try to let it air dry and it turned to a clay like texture, like modeling clay. I am actually planning on visiting my mom in California this spring once she is done with chemo so I can teach her and my sister how to make...

@Mrs Spaceship...I went to my local Walmart earlier this evening and found the same one I had that did not survive my lotion( it was not vey thick at all) the whisk part actually came apart and then the motor died:cry: I am in in north Texas and a metal bell doesn't really bother me as my...

Thank you all for the invaluable input, I had to go to the grocery store and (even though I forgot more vinegar) I picked up some olive oil, I decided to try it again with non evoo and went with just oo. The main issue I'm having is finding a decent enough cheaper stick blender ( the one I had...

I agree a sanity check could have been helpful, But thankfully I skated by just barely with a small test batch. mainly to see if I could hand whisk a batch of hp. As soon as I can replace my stick blender I will be trying a more liquid recipe and prob a cp batch and will def post the recipe...

Thank you for all of the input Not_Ally, I had been playing around with soapcalc for about a month straight trying to find a recipe for my hair ( I am chemical sensitive and cannot use shampoo anymore) I also do not have a working stick blender atm and in my research found that people were...

So I'm brand new to "real" soaping. Like 24 hours into it new, lol. I have used m&p and my skin hates it ( tried multiple bases). so I started researching making my own from scratch so that I could control the ingredients and possibly make an all over bar ( no-poo too ). I read at least 2 dozen...
