    Peaches 'n' Berries

    Very nice. I like the rustic look of the “mottled” effect of your oat milk. My Oat milk didn’t do that...Are you making your own milk or did you buy yours?

    Soap Stamps

    I have some from Aliexpress. Quite happy with the quality but shipping times can be a bit long.

    Too much Mica?

    Hello fellow soapers, So these bars started crumbling at the edges where the Micas are more saturated. It is not Lye heavy. There was a bit of Soda Ash, but this is different. Anyone had this happen before.

    HP Troubles - HP's Please Help

    The stick blender method is a different technique then the counter top high temp. The SBHP was created by Sharon Johnson ( Hot process Queen) she has great tutorials as well on youtube. I don't stick blend with the counter top...just a wisk. No need to beat it! LOL I do not add vinegar or...

    HP Troubles - HP's Please Help

    The HTHP ( high temp hot process) or CTFHP ( counter top fluid hot process ) the oils start at 200 degrees. Then you force the volcanos, which you will wisk back down in the pot. Easily. Then it turns to applesauce stage, then it volcanos again. Wisk it back down. Then its cooked . 15...

    Does anyone mix their colourants directly with their fragrance/essential oils?

    I think it is called a slurry...mixed fragrances and clays, colors.. People usually put it last in case it behaves badly. But if you have used this one before...then you can without fear of ricing or seizing.

    Patchouli and Anise?

    I have used this in a Beer soap made this week, and added some vanilla as well. Although you cannot smell it, the vanilla turned my soap quite dark which was perfect for Guiness beer... And all you can smell now is Anise and some patchouli. I like this scent very much, but will not be for everyone.

    Using PVC as a soap mold

    I line mine with acetate sheets. ( old fashion projector clear sheets...for US old ones...) even pringle cans too. The acetate sheet form better then freezer paper and do not leave wrinkles. You can also wash them. I just found this trick...

    Deodorizing Beef Tallow

    I make my own tallow as well and use the Salt water method. I change the water about 2/3 times. The last time I put no water at all to ensure it is all evaporated. I find the smell very faint, just like the bought one. I use in at 20% in my whipped body butter and do not smell beefy. (Although...

    Three Colour In-the-Pot

    Well done. Love the swirls and colors. Which colors did you use? FYI to my fellow Ontarian... I was ordering quite a bit from Nurture soap, but recently got charged $100 custom fees!!! Yes my order was a bit hefty, $260... All my smaller orders were not charged customs...
