    Contender for most ridiculous question asked

    Hello candle makers! I am usually on the soap side of things (although I’ve dropped off the face of this form during the pandemic). I have a ridiculous question that is likely more of a thought experiment, but on the off chance it’s actually feasible and all y’all brilliant people are like...

    Face recipe recommendations for use with Differin

    The face mist sounds great! I usually hate moisturizing my face because it always feels yucky and my phone/pillow gets greasy, etc. I have jojoba, argon, cocoa/Shea/mango butter, buckthorn extract, castor/olive oil/almond oil. I’m willing to buy some more stuff if needed.

    This makes me cringe!

    Whenever we watch her or Ophelia my 3 year old says “God mom, she’s so messy!”. Thankfully he’s never around to see me make soap (for the obvious safety reasons... but also the apparent harsh judgement).

    Face recipe recommendations for use with Differin

    I just started using differin (yay adult acne) and I’m wondering if anyone has any recipe recommendations to combat the awful, awful dryness.

    Pro tip on Mica Lines

    If you need to practice making even mica lines practice by sprinkling even layers of sugar on cinnamon toast before you pop it under the broiler :dance: But seriously. It’s good practice.

    Rounded Edge Beveler

    I’d be curious if it works better on soap that’s fully cured or a few weeks out. The biggest problem I can imagine would be if you did mani at once the metal might heat up enough to cause some melting but ‍♀️

    Soda ash

    Refidgerating won’t do much of a difference as long as it’s sealed. The longer it’s exposed to air the more time it has to absorb carbon dioxide. If you don’t want your soaps to gel for whatever reason you can pop them in the fridge through and that should help with ashing too. My theory of...

    Pomace

    Confession: I’ve never actually used Olive Oil Pomace to make soap :eek:. I found a local enough wholesaler (No shipping!!!!) but they only carry pomace. I’ve heard it accelerates trace time, but by how much? I’m going to be tweaking my recipe a bit and the OO amount will be about 28% and I like...

    Soda ash

    What kind of water are you using? If you have acidic water then your soap will ash no matter what you do to it. Also if you’re distilled water is old, or if it’s been left out. Distilled water reacts faster with the atmospheric carbon dioxide to create carbonic acid, which reacts with the lye...

    So just to be clear right you’re no longer using water as % of oils and are currently using a 33% lye concentration?

    Soapers Choice Quality?

    I’m about to make my biannual base oil buy... my cart in Soaper’s Choice is about $300 less than Bulk Apothecary (shipping is over $100 cheaper). Does anyone have any experience with soapers choice? How is the quality ?

    How do you think this slab swirl was made?

    I thought that the slab was rotated as well but after watching a few videos today I think that @dibbles is right, it’s just the layering.
