I see syndet shampoo bars with 2% pyrithione zinc available for sale through Etsy and other sites. Where can I find a recipe to make this?

I am gearing up for a big holiday market and I like to offer soap nets, too. The best I've found are the Simply Body Soap Nets from a guy named Ian. Simply Body Soap Net I contacted him about making a wholesale purchase and he didn't respond. I filled out the contact form on his site and no...

I had a soap stamp made by LaserCutz on Etsy a few years ago. They were in England. Now on Etsy I see a company called usaLaserCutz. Are they the same people? I'd like to have another stamp made, but I'd like to go to the same guy. Thanks! Jill

Has anyone used yucca powder in their CP soap? How much and when do you add it? Where is a good source to buy it? Thanks! Jill

I have been asked to make a goldenrod soap. The essential oil is very expensive and I haven't found a dupe FO. I could infuse olive oil with goldenrod. What else could I do to make it smell like goldenrod?

Most I've tried are just awful. Finally found a great one, Merlot by Naturals by Nana. Apparently they went out of business? Anybody know if they are still around and, if not, whether they sold their fragrances to somebody else? Thanks!

I thought there was a forum thread on soapmakingfriend, but can't find it. My question is how to sort my recipes so the most recent one shows up first? It seems my recipes are showing up in alphabetical order. Thanks!

I just plane my regular loaf soap bars to get rid of the ash. But now I have an order for guest soaps, that will have decorative tops. I have heard the recommendation of a steamer. Any recommendations for where I might get one?

I thought I saw a post about this here somewhere but can't find it. I have some natural rosin/sap that I harvested from a pinon tree. Very sticky stuff, but very aromatic. I put it in some distilled water and simmered it for awhile. Lots of oily residue on the surface of the water now. I'm...

As soapmakers, we are sometimes asked by customers to recommend soaps that are beneficial for certain skin conditions. We, of course, aren't supposed to promise medical benefits from our soap, else we would have to categorize them as a drug. However, because of these requests, we may sometimes...

I got an order from a customer for candles scented with bay (leaf) oil (laurus nobilis). Is there a site that gives recommended amount to use for candles; safety and scent throw? I use coconut wax, but any general eo calculator for candles would be great!

I've noticed a number of posts here with recipes that sub out olive oil for rice bran oil or other liquid oils. What are the reasons for those of you who don't use olive oil in their CP recipes? Thanks!

I am making a dark brown, chocolate scented soap. I added dark brown mica to it, but it still didn't end up as dark or shiny as I wanted. I want it to look like dark chocolate. Any suggestions?

Chocolate from Camden-Grey. It's almost too good. It messes with your mind, because it smells so edible. Really dark and fabulous.

I have a KD7000 Scale, which should measure down to 1g. When I am adding liquid very quickly, it will read as each gram is added. But if I have to measure out 1 gram only in a new container, I start with an eyedropper, but it does not register the first few grams. So I don't get a reading at...

Can someone post a syndet shampoo bar recipe here? I went to SwiftMonkey's site and cannot seem to follow her directions. She assumes some knowledge that I don't have and then I have to do a lot of searching on her site to find it. Or she'll say something like, "you can use either U^%88755ZZX...
