This is my first time with using fruit in soap. Was fun but boy does pumpkin in the lye solution get hot! Looked on this message board and few other recipe places. Used Pumpkin as 100% liquid. Lye makes it like orange water. Used WSP Perfect Pumpkin, smells great ! Figured I enjoy seeing...

Have only ordered from a few suppliers so far: Brambleberry fo's = brown glass bottles Heaven scent fo's = plastic bottles The Scent works fo's = plastic bottles WSP fo's was told come in glass bottles. Daystar fo's = plastic bottles My question is why the difference? I understand if you...

Am so disappointed was waiting to place my first order of fragrance oils from Wholesale Supplies Plus after my ebay auctions ended today. Unless I am looking in the wrong place. WSP's website no longer shows free shipping for fo's. :( Being a college student again was trying to use my...

I am talking with a second lady over 90 mins drive from me about getting fresh goats milk cause my first source 10 miles away is flaky about getting back with me. I know eventually I will find a source to try fresh goats milk. Really want to see the difference in it and the canned stuff. That...

Just curious when you order your fragrance oils, what size do most of you buy of scents you have only read about on message boards or websites? I have been sticking to the smallest sizes but price per oz is alot cheaper when you get the bigger sizes. THANKS! :D

Just finished my first goats milk soap this morning and am confused. Used half goats milk and half water for liquid. Froze it the night before . When I mixed it with the lye it melted fine when I took the temp it was under 100 degrees. Granted this was a 1 lb. recipe but was expecting the...

Just realized its been a long time since I posted my soaps. Have only made 8 batches so far and learning so much so they aren't all that to look at. Figured its time to share sine I love seeing everyones soaps so much. This was a lard test with new lab colors tangerine and lime sherbert. It...

Just did a small 1 lb. batch soap scented christmas tree for holidays! Was planning on doing it and a gm recipe Wednesday but did this one today cause I could not wait. Does any one else do that when the soap bug just hits them? My last batch lard test went crappy thickened and has a few air...

Just got my order in from BB and they gave me a sample of apricot seed powder. I understand its an exfoliant but do you just use it in anytype recipe?? Sorry have only made 3 soap batches so still new to this. THANKS!!!

Just tried my free 1 oz. sample of Buttercream and Snickerdoodle from Brambleberry. Smelled out of this world. So I used a 1 lb veg soap recipe. Turned the soap an awfully bright yellow orange color immediately.

The soap feels good, cut it today for curing. What did I do wrong that caused it to have a 1/4" darker color on the bar? Using a wooden mold and put one towel on top of it. I did peek twice but for only a quick glimpse. Thanks for any advise. Hope I didn't mess up. Oh one more question the...

Well just completed my first cp batch. THANKS to all the wonderful people and info on this board. Used Bunny's recipe as my starter. Built my mold over the weekend (castor,coconut,olive and palm oil) Added OMH fo to it and used stick blender. Turned out kinda like a light pudding. So pray I did...

I am hoping to make my first cp soap recipe Wednesday when my daughter will be at her grandma's house. I have built a wooden soap mold and it can make up to a 5 lb recipe or down to whatever with a moveable block. My oils I have are: olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil and caster oil. Have...

AM a newbie trying to understand the whole process. Been reading alot and got the stuff to make a wood soap mold with lid. When all my supplies come in and I try my first cp batch & pour into the lined mold, do I need to cover it with towels and blanket or is the wood sufficent?? THANKS!
