interesting....olive and castor seem easy to get over here. avocado and almond are rare though. I'll try to adjust the recipe and include castor and olive too. :)
waiting ain't my best habit so I try to avoid castille :p andddd you hit the spot! I did use canola, palm, rice bran and sunflower. Maybe by increasing the amount of oatmeal would help?
Greetings!
I have a year old oatmeal bars that I made last year and I didn't know that "snail" slime is going to be trending now in Asia. I happened to try my soap today and shockingly it turned out to produce creamy and slimy bubble. I'm so happy. Based on your experience, is there any other...
