i am interested in the resoults of your avocado Vinegar Soap. Since from the other posts i have found here, Vinegar and Lye are a bad combo ;p :pTruth

sorry about the late reply, i have been rather busy with studying and work, now i am trying to find some time and energy to make some test batches with olive and duck, aswell as the previusly sugjested recipes ;p @SoapingChick, no one has mentioned that before you, so thanks for the info, its...

Oh, i am going to use both the recipes you gave me, and the recipe that IrishLass recommended, as well as a 100% olive oil soap, and a 100% duck fat soap as Zany suggested, to feel what a good paste will end up as. Before i experiment again. (later i might even try 100% soaps of the exotic oils...

Susie I do not doubt your knowledge in soapmaking or your skills in it, but your doupt in me is somewhat wounding. It is not basic soap making that confounds me. it is the intricacies of crafting a very specialized product, and eliminating various variables that might effect the aspects of the...

oh, just remembered another question. when i made my failed CPLS, it created very little heat, the highest temperature it ever reached was about 85F and was i suspect it was mostly caused by the mixer... i do preform my crafting in a very cold location, so stuff cools down very quickly. will...

you Zany are a god xD This has cleared up a lot of my questions and given me a lot more understanding. and yes the Wheat oil is Wheat germ oil. and not to worry about not being able to reply for the duration, i have just recently been able to get back to the forum. We May have Canola oil...

Both those links are definitely helpful, I already read through that lovingsoap one previously. Though Arimara, you say I should be more aware of the unsaponifiables more if I want to make a soap for sensitive skin. To me that would mean the minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and potentially...

Thanks, that's very informative, guess I'll experiment around the two recipes to see if I can't make it more shower soap friendly. After testing the original ofc ;xD And IrishLass that link is very useful, thanks (though shipping is still *****y expensive xD) Zany, Currently I have avocado...

To Earlene, it's curious of you to mention, neither would be impossible for me to get as there are no import restrictions to either, it's just that neither has been traditionally much used here, and so no stores actually carry those items (well you find lard in a few shoe creams for leather...

Ah, I recognise that thread I did have already looked at the much of it before I started, though I only got about half way through I think. Mostly looking for the actual reason for using glycerin in the soap, Also could you please give a more detailed reason for why exactly that recipe, what...

hello again, great to see such quick responses. :) Yes, i am trying to craft this soap for someone who has very sensitiv skin, and i would never dream of disreguarding the great advice i recieve here. Your concerns for the alergens in the soap is noted, and appreciated, i am aware of them, and...

Right, so trying the soap again, with a more critical eye, I noticed that there seems to be a few tiny boubles in the soap paste that has some not fully saponified Lye still, though i guess/hope these will disipare after curing for more time. As for thinking about the Unsaponifiables, I did not...

A lot of good advice here, I am glad i asked :) And I do realise helping me troubleshoot without the full recipe is... Well next to impossible... Anyway, I'll leave it to cure for a few more days, and see if that helps in anyway first while I look into the oils a bit more. I looked mostly at...

right so i made my very first Soap a few days ago, and a "liquid" one at that, and i am VERY unsure of the result. (note: i intend to use this in its paste form, and not dilute it into a liquid :p ) the paste has turned into a consistency not unlike peanut butter. if i try the zap test it...

hello good people of SMF, guess i should introduce myself a bit xD though there isnt much to say, i got into soaping about a year ago, and have spent some time since studying the science and chemestry of it, created a few difrenet spesialiced resipes, though i had no luck getting the...

Truth Here, Username's from a long an convoluted road, that describes me as best as possible Xd Avatar.... havent added one yet, but it will be a picture of Vivi from Final fantasy 9, my all time favorit Final fantasy game, and the COOLEST, CUTEST, and most AWESOME character EVER :p (edit...
