I don't use castor oil much, so I haven't noticed it affecting trace. I will have to try it and see how it chanes the trace in the recipe that I use. Thank you!

I like CP because I can do more color swirls and techniques with it. HP always dries out too much on cure for me and ends up being concave in the middle of the bar. HP also looks too chunky and not smooth for my taste.

How long did it take him to make your custom stamp?

It is Sween. I did google the ingredients, and have made some lotion from scratch, and am comfortable with the process. I was mostly wondering if someone here had tried to replicate it. I will try my hand at it today and let you know how I did.

Your soap is beautiful!

I am going to look at his work - as it seems amazing!

I am looking forward to hear how they compare.

I recently had surgery and while I was in the hospital and they gave me this glycerine based lotion to use, and I love it. I can't seem to find any recipes for anything like it, and was wondering if anyone here had ever tried to make something like it? Here are the inredients: Active...

I think I'm becoming addicted to cream soap. I made my first batch a few months ago, and it is rotting away nicely. Yesterday I made my 2nd batch, and created my own recipe from it using Summer Bea Meadow's calculator. It is resting and today I get to whip it. I am also planning on making...

It seems to have turned out OK. There are still some small chunks no matter how long I whipped it. It is rotting right now - so I am hoping it will improve in texture in a few months. I want to make another batch with other oils I have. This could become addictive!

I know that this is an old thread, but I have my first batch in the slower cooker and I am very excited to see how it goes!

I hate patch, also most florals (I loved them before I got pregnant with my son, after that can't stand most - lavender is OK), and anything that is sticky sweet. I still soap with them because customers love them, I just have to shower and change cloths after I make them because I hate the...

I have made my own infused coffee butter as well as chamomile, calendula, and lavender. I find that it is pretty easy, and so much less expensive than buying it. I also can use what ever solid oil I want, so I'm not limited in my choices. I generally prefer to make what I can rather than buy...

I haven't tried SC but would be interested to see what others have to say about it.

Thank you for the information!

I make them and sell a lot of them, especially around holidays. People snatch them up as great gifts.

Here is one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpkr4KSf0hA I have to figure that this is how others do it as well. Interesting that they don't premix their potassium hydroxide with water first - they just dump it all into the kettle.

When there is a public restroom at a show (such as a school or church/temple hall) I do put a bottle of foaming wash in both the men's and ladies bathrooms. If it's a large event where you have a stall number I will put my number on it. I've even put a sign that says to come by for a sample of...

I find that saying "Hi" or "Good Morning" helps to draw people in. I used to do a farmers market, and just by saying "Good Morning" I used to get people to stop and often buy. It was a no-hawking farmers market, which is fine by me. I find that just engaging people when they walk by went a long way.
