    Adding Powdered Goat Milk

    I made my first batch of goat's milk soap using powdered milk last night. I mixed with a cup of the oils and the titanium dioxide and stick blended and then poured it back into the batch at light trace. Was this not a good way to do it?

    New Soap Cutter

    I finally broke down and ordered a soap cutter and boy am I in love with it. I didn't want to spend the money for a tank because I am new to soap cutting.

    Decided to use some fragrances that I had ordered a few months back to create a new soap this morning....that was the start of my demise. I used my "go to" recipe that I have used for at least 5 batches and have never had a problem but today, was something different. My recipe is Castor...
