About 2 weeks ago I was all riled up about making my first whipped CP soap. I believe I used 80 hard oils and 20% soft. I made the soap around 2 or 3pm-- only a trial 500 gram batch. Then stuck it in the fridge overnight so that the heat created won't melt down the peaks. Then the next...

Hello everyone. I never even knew about sea salt soaps until after I got into soap making. I didn’t know why, but I was intrigued and my spider senses was tingling to make some and try it out for myself. Let me tell you I am so pleasantly surprised. For my first batch, I was worried because I...
