Hello all, I have been MIA for quite some time. I don't get to make soap that often anymore because of constraints with a full time job, and 2-3 hour a day commute, I'm just so tired most of the time. :think: Anyway, I don't sell my soap, just gift to family, friends, and occasional coworker...

Recently I got the WSP silicone molds...the regular and the small silicone soap molds. They produce much smaller batches than my previous molds. I used to use plastic shoe boxes to store my soap, but that seems like such a waste of space to put these smaller batches in. Anyone have any...

I wanted to make an avocado soap tonight with a Avocado oil, Avocado puree, Olive, Lard, Coconut, castor, and shea butter. But I just remembered I'm out of lard. I have palm oil, but it just won't be the same LOL! Anyone else ever feel the same way?

So it's been forever since I've used coconut milk in my soap. I have had this soap in my head for weeks now....A coconut scented soap made with half coconut water and half coconut milk as the liquid. The coconut water did not have any sugar listed in it. It was cold from the refrigerator. I...

Kitchen soap: Citrus blend or Coffee? pics added! which do you prefer for a kitchen soap? A citrus blend or a coffee soap? I have made both before, but it's been some time and I can't remember which one I liked more LOL! The coffee soap, I replaced all of the water with coffee, and added some...

Hi Everyone. I made this soap a couple of days ago. It's a Eucalyptus Spearmint blend colored/swirled with ultramarine blue and chromium green oxide.

This is a Eucalyptus/spearmint blend I did the other night. First cp in the mold spoon swirl. I am pleased with the results. Color are Chromium green oxide and ultramarine blue. It smells divine! ETA Sorry. I was posting from my phone and the attachment is not coming through. I will have to...

Hi there, I am looking for plastic bowls/pitchers for soap making similar to the ones used in this youtube video (the bigger ones): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTDPcyUUF_Q&list=UU3PM8TsawVROFDbAJ1IyjRw They don't have to be exactly the same ones, just something similar. My other...

this one was done hp with a spoon swirl in the mold. The green and orange didn't turn out quite the color I had envisioned, but it looks ok. TFL

I tried the hanger swirl tonight! PICS Added! Way back when... I used to do CP, for probably the first couple of years of my soaping. Then I got into hp because I didn't like to wait so long for the soap to cure LOL Over the years I have still done some cp here and there, but mostly cphp...

It's been raining on and off all day. I have to wait for the weather to clear up and the humidity to decrease before I can make salt bars....otherwise they will weep something awful. And this is supposed to be our dry season. :Kitten Love:

For those of you who use individual molds for your salt bars, what molds do you use? I was thinking of getting some silicone molds for this, but don't know if they will keep their shape. I don't like using log molds because of the small window of time in which the soap needs to be cut.

There is a Gordons Food Service store about 30 min away from me and I was so happy to find that they carry Pomice Olive oil for $15.64/gallon. :clap:

I just made a 50% lye solution: 5.2 oz of lye, 5.2 oz of water. Slowly added the lye to the water and stirred and stirred. I left it on the counter to cool for a while whilst I gathered the rest of my supplies, measured and melted etc. When I went to take a look at the lye water it had a sort of...

Has anyone gotten the SPA TOnic FO from WSP? Did you like it? I am looking for a spa type scent to make Salt Bars with. Thanks!

Hello, I have been away from soap making for quite some time, and just getting back into it. I was looking at these two silicone loaf molds from BB's and WSP. http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/products/regular-loaf-silicone-mold.aspx and this one from BB...

I am looking for a nice cupcake mold...the kind with the frosting top so I can make the whole thing with soap base and not have to use any foaming bath butter. TIA

Hi all, it's been quite a while since I've posted in this forum. Do to a chronic lung problem I can no longer use lye I have both sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.....maybe around 5 lbs of each. I'd hate for it to go to waste.

I made my first cp salt bars last night (I usually do hp) and they are sweating/weeping profusely. It's VERY humid here right now, which I'm sure is a contributing factor, but I think I used too much water. the salt was regular table salt, 100% of the oil weight. Someone had suggested to not...

Just wondering if anyone has tried it and what you thought of it? Is it really more gentle than other MP soap bases? I was looking for something with no SLS etc in it since we are very sensitive to that, as well as beinng sensitive to a high content of coconut oil in soap. I sure hope that it...
