    My Coconut Milk Soap - Fail (Sadness)

    Oh my gosh! You made me laugh so hard...talking about the Unicorn Poops. I had to read it to my husband. I did try again, this time I took out the butters and tried another recipe altogether. One that involved Castor Oil, Crisco, Olive...that's it. It probably won't be as bubbly but...

    My Coconut Milk Soap - Fail (Sadness)

    Thank you, cmzaha for your reply. Dang! Now I'm really confused. I added the butters to make up for the fact that I did not have the palm oil the original recipe called for...then I noticed the cleansing # was too high in SoapCalc so I added less Coconut Oil and more Castor Oil in hopes of...

    Stinky unrefined shea butter in soap

    Thank you, that is so sweet...it just a little cigar label. I recently changed the look to try and simplify it...I am happy with the results. Less is more, I always say. :)

    My Coconut Milk Soap - Fail (Sadness)

    Thank you, it never occured to me I could just add it to my oils and blend before adding in the lye. Thank you for the tip...I am determined to not let this coconut milk soap kick my booty. I'm going to make one successfully...since I used up my cocoa butter I will have to retweak the recipe...

    Stinky unrefined shea butter in soap

    Hi Lena, I have used unrefined shea butter...in fact the claim is that is better since it has not been stripped of its nutrients. I don't know how true that is but I venture to say, it makes sense. Either way, my soap doesn't have the smell that you are asking about. I'm trying to get away...

    My Coconut Milk Soap - Fail (Sadness)

    Thank you, Christine...so, just stick with plain old distilled water? I could just stick with Goat's Milk, but really, really wanted to 'learn' how to make coconut milk soap and add variety to my line of soap. I heard it is super creamy too, so I was hoping to have a successful bar of coconut...

    My Coconut Milk Soap - Fail (Sadness)

    Thank you, at what point do you add the powdered coconut milk? At trace? I have powdered Goat's Milk I'm assuming you can do the same with it?

    My Coconut Milk Soap - Fail (Sadness)

    Good evening all, I made my first attempt at a simple 2lb Coconut Milk Soap and I believe it seized up. I think. I say it seized up because the consistency was thick almost the consistency one would use to do piping. We're talking some mighty thick stuff. I've never broken a sweat before and...

    The Zap Test: A Visual Guide

    I've been zapped! Greetings, So...not a good way to start I know. But, I did the Zap test and sure enough I felt the sting, much like I do when I see George Clooney. My soap looks really pretty, I'm really shocked but I worry about it being unsafe to use. They have been curing for almost...
