Have you found another source for Mica that you prefer?

Ooh thank you! That smallest jar the .25 ounce? I think the 25 is best for my usage but the price difference for bumping up to an ounce is such a deal...Im also wandering if they are still using the little coin shaped clamshell containers for their samples?

I think this is the best place to ask, but if anyone has a fairly broad range of Madmicas could they do me a favor? I am having a hard time visualizing their products for the purpose of knowing just how much it is i need to buy. Would folks be willing to line up their various sizes of mad mica...

At 100% fishoil the smell it leaves on your hands isnt too bad! Buuuuut the soap itself smells reaaaaalllllly strong- and I am concerned about shelf life, i think maybe a 75/25 coconut oil and fish oil sea breeze scented salt bar would be nice! Maybe even with kelp powder, hmm...

I just tried this actually! The one on the right is 100% fish oil soap with a 50% water discount. (Made using capsuled fish oil from the vitamin bottles) The trace took a long time and was barely noticable it took about 3 days to be solid enough to cut and i can tell you it smells just as...

Felt like experimenting and did two 100% single oil soaps. Grapeseed and Fish oil. Both at 50% water discounts. Still both only had the verrrrrrry lightest trace possible. Barely detectable. After 4 nearly 5 days Grapeseed: still soft enough to smush a finger into but holds its shape with...

I didnt use any vinegar in the pink batch i just tested a bit of vinegar aside to see if it would carry the infusion, but the color changed so I didnt use it. I only used the glass measuring cup for this small test amount. The pink batch is very abrasive, has absolutely no lather, and smells...

I did do it! For my most recent cake like soap. I added 2 tsps of coffee grounds to my lye solution after it was fully dissolved and slightly cooled- and yeah it had a stink but more like really burnt coffee with a sour note, and i added 2 tsps to my melting oils. I wouldnt call the result...

Wild! Never would have guessed there was still sugars in that.. When I added my lye water to my oils bother were about 100 degrees, and I have been using higher amounts of coconut oil cause it’s the one I can get the most of, and since I am practicing I need cheap oils- that’s been the hardest...

I made a chocolate coffee soap, too bad everyone of these learning attempts are unscented, i hope some of the coffee or cocoa powder comes through. But its pretty as heck. If i just had a mold for berries or banana slices to stick on it would be perfect. Dangit gel-phase! There’s no sugar in...

Has anyone tried using already prepared lye water thats still hot to brew their coffee with? I wonder if that would help the coffee to carry through.

Whelp, did a test of dissolving lye in pansy infused vinegar. Definite fail >< At least for pansies! Color totally lost. OOPS-started out okay- did I ruin it?-Okay, according to google I didnt ruin it but I may not like the way it looks. This was a fresh strawberry and fresh basil bar of...

I don’t understand why all i’ve been able to find is straight or crinkled soap cutters, if it’s just a bent blade why aren’t there other shape or pattern options? Has anyone found anything to cut a loaf of soap with that will apply a different textured surface??

Oh , shoot. I didn’t think about it, thank you. I need to hit up some places for sure for supplies!

Ooh yes! I hadnt bought any individual molds yet that probably would have been perfect, i wont scrap this recipe just yet! I'm fine tuning the lotions more- i think am equal portion of the beeswax is too cloying for me so I'm lessening it and adding cocoa butter for the gap. Ill be working on a...

Hello, Ive been researching and studying soaping and body butter/lotion bar related things. I just did my first small batch of cp today, and some test batches of lotion bars. The soap seemed wonderful until i unmolded it.. broke apart rather messily! But I did go into it in a fists swinging...
