Hi Sunrise, Thank you for your reply, What is an embed?

Good Afternoon Bath Bombers! I hope this threat finds you well. I need some help to better understand why my bath bombs are behaving the way they are and to change what I am doing to achieve a more satisfactory behavior. (like this - https://youtu.be/-UM_bQZ6MTY?t=115 When sitting in the...

Everywhere I have read seems to appose that An example is Soaps made using the cold process method take about three to four weeks to cure. This of course depends on where you live. If you live in a region where the humidity is very low such as Colorado it could take your soaps one to two...

I'm more aligned with your recipe. I think I will try that one for sure. Just need to wait on the next shipment of Palm to come in. While I do understand that a >4wk cure is recommended for cold process, It is inconvenient for me to wait that long. Which is why I have shifted my interest to...

Thank you for your reply Susie, when you suggest for myself to wait until it has cured, do you imply that the properties I am feeling now when I test the soap are not an accurate representation of the properties the soaps will exhibit 3 weeks later when they complete their 4 week cure cycle...

Hmm, the soap I pictured at the start of this post had 10% castor, was done completely cold process and the soap was hard after 1 week cure and is of acceptable hardness now. Happy to replace the Olive oil with Palm Oil. Tho thats currently being shipped to my address presently. Regards, Momo

Thank you dear <3 Glad I have a wise localized source of information, do you have any advise on buying soap cutters in Australia? Regards, Momo

Hi Everyone! I am pleased to announce that the soaps have hardened within a reasonable amount. I cut them 5 days ago. I trialed one of the soaps and have left my hands feeling unbelievably soft and conditioned! Patience was key! I'v provided some photos too

Thank you so much Penelope I appear to be stuck :/ I keep getting advice "I wouldnt use more than 5% or 10% or 20% of this or that" With so many restrictions to keep so many oils below the 10% mark, I'm left feeling that I need to use more and more and more oils just to meet the 100%...

Thank you for your reply penelopejane. I have cured the Soap for 24 hours now and can feel a reasonable difference. The soaps are harder and are beginning to feel less "play-doughy" Im not too sure as to what all these Acronyms stand for. What is PPO? EVOO? OO? FO? I figured...

Thank you so much for that, I really do appreciate that advice. If you had to only use the aforementioned 4 oils. Castor, Sunflower, Olive and Coconut, at what percentages would you use them with? Regards, Momo

Hi Battlegnome! I live in Sydney Australia, currently spring. Temp in my room is a constant balmy 24 degrees centigrade. I used a Plastic mould (which is why you can see seperate beveled indents within the 2 loaves in the image) The previous batch which was 100% coconut oil hardened quite well...
