    Could this be ash?

    Hi all. The fragrance I used for this soap accelerated fast so the first layers I poured didn't have any FO. When I cut the ends, it's white kinda ashy looking. I blended a few secs then hand stirred. Did it not emulsify enough or can soda ash form on the inside? As you can see, it's not...

    Herbal powder infusions

    Herbal infusions

    Thank you so much for responding. Does the same apply when using EO's and additives like turmeric? I would like to use rosemary EO and I have some chamomile powder, but don't want to waste them if it's going to be beneficial in the end.

    Replacing water with vinegar

    Hey there. I know this is an old post and a commonly asked question but I am still confused. For example, If I'm doing 50% lye of the water solution, which is 4.62 and the other water portion is 4.62. The lye amt is 3.94. do I multiply 0.0357 × 4.62=.165 Then add that to 4.62 to 3.94 get total...

    Replacing water with vinegar

    I maybe getting on this thread late, but I've questioned also if ACV could be used in soap. I've seen a lot of people sell soap with that additive, but didn't understand how it was incorporated. I haven't been soaping long, so some stuff still goes over my head, but with the recipe you used, did...
