    EO recipe app?

    I have about 20 misc. EOs left over from past soap making. I'd like to add a manly scent to my unscented "grocery store lotion."

    Summer Bee Meadow Recipe Resizer Question

    I have used the recipe re-sizer calculator to re-size a 2lb recipe to 4lb based on the measurements of my mold. However, I am leftover with about a cup of extra soap and nowhere to go with it.

    What to do with my soap slivers

    Hi! I am not a soap maker but a homemade soap customer. I am wondering what I can do with my soap slivers...the leftover parts of larger bars. Is there a way to melt them down and combine many small bars into one normal size bar? With regular commercial soap, I would just throw the slivers away...
