    Confetti soap - How to make it look good?

    If you just can’t come up with a good design and want to use the soap up you always have the option of rebatching it. Toss it all in a crock pot with a little liquid….etc. (and definitely add plain yogurt for a nice fluid batch!) You can even reserve some of the shreds and mix them in before...

    Confetti Soap - Why do the math like this?

    Soap Queen has a great tutorial for confetti soaps. I’ve made plenty of confetti soaps and aside from the occasional odd amount of soap being made because I want to use up all my scraps (I just use individual molds for the excess) I’ve never had a problem. And I just make my batter like normal...

    Salt vs Sodium lactate

    To substitute sodium lactate at the standard 1 tsp p.p.o. (per pound of oils in recipe) you use 1 Tbsp of ordinary table salt p.p.o. & you want to add it to your lye water so it dissolves fully. I can’t speak to the difference in salt types, but I’ve used sodium lactate in every batch I made for...

    Premixed all my powders

    I added a couple small nuts ( the kind used with bolts) to my bottles and it helps a lot to keep everything mixed and lump free, a quick shake is all it takes!

    Max time for Frosting CP

    Well, I know you can pipe flowers and store them to add later on like embeds. And I recently saw a YT video from Royalty Soaps where Katie has been taking the leftover soap in her piping bags and putting it into a loaf mold, she figured it’ll take a year to fill the entire mold so that tells me...

    Hemp butter in cp soap?

    I am in love with hemp seed oil ((havent tried the butter yet) and I formulated a CP recipe I’m really excited to make tonight. I wanted a soap recipe that was 5 or less oils, had lather for days, conditioned well, and basically performed outstandingly in every other way to boot. No biggie...

    Hemp butter in cp soap?

    From Wholesale Supplies Plus: Contains Hemp Seed Oil, thought to have the highest amount of polyunsaturated fatty acid contents of all natural oils. Considered a one of the "driest" natural oils as it absorbs quickly into the skin. Provides excellent lubricity without being greasy. Similar to...

    Hot Process question re:additives

    I saw someone else mention making hp in the microwave, they put it in a bag? Is there somewhere that discusses microwave hp soap? I’m new to this and curious about all options and methods out there as I try to find what’s best for me. Thanks!

    Ack! My bath salts are melting!

    Can anyone explain what I’m currently stumped and mystified by with my bath salts, and if they can be saved... I made a large batch the other day and when I was done mixing them up I put them in the oven to dry out, this is something I have always done and it always worked great. This time...

    MidnightSoapers?

    Ahh, its wonderful when you discover your people! I love to wait til 10pm-if I get an early jump, but usually I begin around midnight or 1am. It’s so peaceful, quiet, calm. I’ve got the whole place to myself with no distractions and I can create! I read something once that said 3 am is when we...

    WSP SUPER SALE !

    I love WSP (a bit too much!) but I sure do wish we got a little more of a heads up when these huge sales were coming. I just spent all my money for the month, less rent and living expenses, at WSP last week. I tend to do this most months with the hope to start a small business one day, and it...
