the zap test was neg. However it usually will taste salty and it tasted kind of sweet. It didn't bubble up much but was more of a creamy lather. I just ordered more lye from a different supplier. Hopefully things will get back to normal. @Kamahido as soon as it was shipped to me I used it all...

Hello, my soap lately has been very unpredictable in the mold. I usually just cover the mold and heap towels on top. It has always gone through gel beautifully until lately. I just made a batch of unscented. Plain soap and it volcanoed slightly enough to ruin my pretty top and push up on the...

I'm hopeful that this soap is not lye heavy because I superfat @ 4%? But then again I better check my scale batteries. I will test it in Few days. I gloved up and was able to squish and crumble the soap pretty easily into the crockpot it was really soft and gooey. I still can't unmold it yet...

Ok I got it into the crockpot! :) Thank you all for the advice. I really appreciate it.❤

Thank you! I'll do it.

Hello all and Good morning, This is what I cut into this morning and was so shocked. This is just a restock of my mint scrub. I used the same recipe of oils, lye and liquid. Used peppermint,lemon and eucalyptus EO. I did two things differently this time but I'm not sure if they warrant such a...

I'll re batch it. Just for the sake of knowing. I actually did not use all fruit. I used just a little bit of fruit and added distilled water when processing to make the puree. So before i added anything i wanted to exactly how much was juice and how much was pulp. I didn't cook it doen so i...

Actually no. I added the lye to the oils then I added the puree.

I see that picture is not legible. Here's a different pic of the ingredients list hopefully it's better

This is my recipe and I added the lye to only 4oz of distilled water and I added the rest in puree after mixing the lye and water together. That's how i saw it done in a few you tube videos. Thank you for taking a look.

Good evening, I tried my best at adding in a papaya and mango puree. I thought I discounted the water properly and when I poured it into the mold it looked perfect! Solid after a few minutes. Now, over 24 Hrs later it has liquid on top. It feels Slippery but not heavy, very light. I think its...

I appreciate the honesty! I really do. No offence taken at all. That's great advice. At first I didn't understand an active comment and didn't knowwhat to make of it but this was great. Thank you for taking the time to guide me. I suppose i assumed that since im using a lye calculator that...

Thank you for the warm welcome. Its been about two months since i first dived in and soaped up and boy I dived in head first. My first cp loaf was a success and I've not stopped since. Making two loafs a week! I get all giddy inside just thinking about it lol is that normal? Gave a great day!

Hi everyone This is my first post in the forum. It's been great and such an encouragement to read here with my fellow soap people. I'm waiting to unmold my first of two facial bars that I'd like to include in my summer market adventure. I'll be trying a few different markets to debut my...
