I was wondering if anyone does group orders on EO/FO or any other soap supplies? Im certain sanitation is a concern so I wasn't sure if that was even a thing but I figured I'd ask.

I think it was the cinnamon! My other bars are perfect! They lather REALLY well, they have a nice slip and they’re not drying. The others had a line of cinnamon on them because well I’m just trying stuff and learning.

Hello yall! I come seeking advice. So I tried my soap for the first time and I believe its been curing for about 3 weeks now. Did I try it too soon? It was creamy and lathered amazingly but it felt like it cleansed a little too well because after my hands felt a bit stripped. Any suggestions on...

But how long... So I too am using a Dollar Tree container #5 PP and its great. I mixed enough solution for two batches of soap. Well...I left it outside to cool and then later brought it inside and put the lid on to soap with "soon". Soon never came and I think its been in the container for 2...

Oooooo! I'm definitely checking Austin out! It's only like an hour away! I did discover a sprouts near my house and boy I was in heaven. I got exactly what I've been looking for!

It turns out... Lone Star Candle Supply is located in Keller, TX :)

Does anyone know of any Texas based soap suppliers? I am a hands-on shopper and I'd rather buy local so that I can use my products right away. Also, shipping prices are the devil!

I live in South Texas. Its hasn't been bad where I am but Houston has been hit quite hard. Thank you for the well wishes. Honestly if it wasn't for the news, the disheveled grocery stores and everyone checking on me, I wouldn't even know there was a Hurricane! (I don't have cable and the only...

I Get It Now Thanks @earlene! It makes WAY more sense now. It's not the end of the world to use glass it just isn't the safest.

Got it... Okay...that makes more sense. I've watched a lot of tutorials that used glass so I kept thinking lye wasnt good with plastic. Whew! Now what about the oils, can they be mixed in glass containers?

Would you recommend using these products? I went in to Hobby Lobby looking for piping tips and I went to look at their soaping inventory just to see but I wasn't too sure.

Curious... So...I was going back to research soaping equipment and I observed the Soap Queen mixing her oils and lye solution in glass containers...Now I'm confused...

Hey yall! (Yes I'm from Texas) I was curious to hear about dealing with criticism. Now this is a forum so I already knew that there would be a vast diversity of personalities as well as skill levels. As a beginner in anything I do, I find it extremely hard to handle criticism. Especially if its...

DunbarDesigned... I chose Dunbar Designed because I intended to go into soap making after I was overdosing on Katie of Royalty Soaps YouTube videos. It was perfect timing because I've also been quite depressed thinking about financial struggles and a lack of artist expression (I stopped acting...

Amen! For a newbie soaper like me....this is so nice to read. Its always frustrating when you're working on getting better at something and people just talk badly without helping. I feel like when you don't give a friendly word of advice/criticism its almost a cosign. Not to mention, if I...

Advise the Unwise Hello! I'm a brand spankin new soaper...if I'm even allowed to label myself as that yet lol I am extremely meticulous about starting a brand of B&B products eventually and I was curious to know what you would advise, stemming from your thread regarding soapers at the festival...

Just what I needed... Yikes! I'm not looking forward to this happening while I'm getting my barrings straight. I appreciate the photos especially since I though I noticed separating (maybe even ricing) when I poured my VERY first test batch this past weekend. I was looking for examples to...

Whoa! I am so amazed at that soap calculator. I have to find it! I am new to soap making so I don't have much to comment but my next venture is to work on finding my base recipe and really understanding how to make the soap I want. Your soap seems like it would come out quite nicely!

Thank you again! Using glass was an oversight and I figured out where I went wrong.

Ah ha! I couldn't keep straight what would react with the lye but I knew the regular plastic I have was a no no! Thank you for the words of advice! I'll definitely be using something else.
