I would like to try this! I came across this from a few years ago. Any more tips?

sadly, I was looking at the wrong recipe when weighing out my lye, I am about 6oz short. It's obviously VERY soft. My thought is to mush it up in the crock and add 50/50 lye/water. Any advice is greatly appreciated! I'm actually surprised that I was able to cut it at all! I guess it's about...

These are on sale at Michaels, I got them for about $2:50. I'm so happy! I can see what they are without pulling every bottle up out of a box and they slide right under the bed! Handy!

i want to make something nice for my Godmother. I have onhand, mango and shea butters, apricot kernel, rosehip, jojoba, primrose, beeswax, Which would be the least greasy? Also, I want to use the jojoba, rosehip and primrose (thank you mischief) for face, is there anything I can combine it with...

ive never used the Armour lard, but I want to try a batch for comparison sake. I'm not real sure what to use with it, I have on hand coconut oil, oil palm kernel flakes, olive oil, avocado oil, canola oil, crisco shortening, grapeseed oil and castor. I was thinking 20% lard, 20% palm, 20%...

60% off MANY fragrance oils and essential oils, I just CLEANED UP!! Also, 32 lbs lye for $55. Good sales. They are a 2 hr drive from me, I considered ordering the palm oil that's also on sale and driving over! Maybe next time!

i just bought a destash that includes some rosehip oil. What are it's best uses?

i remember reading that somewhere. I'm about to do HP and I had an oven nightmare the last time! I want to avoid oils that may give me a problem!

i decided I wanted to play and try mp, so I went to Michaels with a coupon and picked some up. It was definitely soothing to play and not be rushed, but is this stuff even soap?? Lol!

they are the small containers I got from Walmart, Ive not used the heating pad before. How long do you think? They are 3/4 full. I know there are a lot of variables, but is there a 'ballpark 'on how long gel takes in somehing this size (if it does at all!).

i have these that were included in a 'lot' of fragrances that I bought. Has anyone used?? I asked the rep. She said they have only been tested in mp.

I don't know if this gives me plus or minus points!!!

ive been a VERY good girl!! As resistant as I was, at first, I took heed and waited! Yes, I've kept little 'scrids ' and pieces by the sink, but Ill actually be taking a bar to the shower tonight! My first batches are almost 8 weeks old. I've waited until I was at the end of my purchased...

i thought I'd give them a try. Ironically, from the 'Pioneer Woman'! BTW, thanx to your valuable info, I knew to research the fragrance oil FIRST!! I knew the gardenia was going to accelerate like a %#^*%. So I was ready to do the Mash!! I just bought a few more. I like that I didn't have to...

curious... my rebatch would be medium brown, I would like a lighter layer on top (or bottom).

thus far, I have used (all from BA) eucalyptus (cool cp), lemongrass (cool cp), and the scent is just NOT there! Cedarwood is faily ok, lavender is pretty weak. Before I sink more $$$, are there any, In Your experience, that do better?

i made my natural colorants bars again, but this time cp instead of hp. I really should have used the same recipe so that I could compare them, but... The recipe shows a soft bar. I know that it's supposed to be just a guide, but I feel like I used enough hard oils, I also added SL. I should...

I hate the thought of staring a new thread every time I have a random question. I hope it's ok to just keep a thread going for them. First question In cp, for thinnest batter, Is it better to get to emulsification and then pour and get to trace in the individual color containers? I'm wanting...

When I first decided to give soaping a try, I bought a 3 and a 5 lb wooden loaf mold from Bulk apothecary, with a removable side and wing nuts. I don't seem to see wooden molds used very often, is there a reason that many seem to prefer silicone? I guess the obvious benefit would be not having...

I just registered at WSP. I notice that their prices are a little cheaper for micas, and free shipping at $25. Are they as good as the micas at Nurture soap, in your opinion?
