Thank you for your response. I used 3% based on oil weight. I used fragrance from candle science. It was the first time I tried them. Thanks for letting me know the ash can happen. Is there a way to avoid it?

i made a batch of CP salt soap last week and I have a question. I used a 40% salt mixture. The bars are curing nicely (waiting on a soap planet after my attempts with a peeler went...poorly (lots of crooked cuts and even less straight edges). But here’s my question: my bars have developed a...

We’ve been having a great time with this oversized batch. I hope this helps anyone having problems getting them to work. Any suggestions welcome! Ingredients • 10 Disk Mold & Packages • 2 cups Baking Soda • 1 cup Citric Acid • 1/2 c cornstarch 2 Tbsp...

I use 9 ounce paper cups from the store to mix and store small amounts of ingredients. They can be squished in half at the rim so that you can pour directly into the lip balm holder from the paper cup. I also pour when the lotions are still warm so the flow of oils into the balm holder is smooth...

Oh my - thank you for noticing my mistake! I use candle science FO and Aztec candles FO. I tried EO and put those away pretty fast lol! I knew I shouldn’t have bought the paraffin wax but I’ll just have to find something I can do with it. Can you mix it for container candles or does the paraffin...

I’m new to soapmaking and I currently have OO, sweet almond oil, castor oil, unrefined cocoa butter, CO (76 degree), palm oil, and one more I can’t think of right now. I’d like to make eczema soap (have colloidal oatmeal made in my blender) but I’m not sure how to learn how to properly...

i have a question: I have soy wax marketed specifically for wax tarts but I’m not impressed with the cold and hot throw of the EO I use at 6%. So I wanted to use some of the paraffin Art Minds (Michael’s craft store) as a mixer to increase the throw. But what is the proper calculation of...

First off, I apologize for not fully researching this on the boards first. I suffer from narcolepsy and i fall asleep when I start reading a lot :( I have about 6 pounds of soy wax flakes for container candles.I bought it with 50% and 60% off coupons! I love the stuff. But my daughter convinced...
