H!! I haven't visited this forum in almost five years and all of a sudden a got a bump in traffic from this direction. :D
I absolutely love my current site, THANK YOU!! So. Much. Work. and I can not believe how much design interfaces have changed in the last couple of years...but so worth...
Thanks!
Hmmm, let's see...Palm, Coconut, Shea Butter, Castor Oil, Avocado Oil, Palm Kernel, Soybean, Sweet Almond and Canola. ...I tend to make my recipes more complex than they need to be :roll:
I use alot of Shea butter and Ive never had a problem with that... But anything over 5% PKO gives me troubles! Super fast trace and I usually over heat in the mold and get a crack along the top.
I have problems with facial redness, I use an Olive Oil soap. It "seems" more gentle. However, I can say that I once read about Tea Tree Oil and helping skin. I tried it once and it made my skin waaay worse! So maybe stay away from that one....
Those look great! We have a shop here that sales ones very similar and yeah, they are between $100 and $150. They must be selling well at that price because there are new ones every week. ..
Same thing happened to me a few days ago! I usually use 15% in my recipes, as we have really hard water around these parts and castor really helps the lather factor. I can only use that much castor while working under temps of 90 degrees.
Thrift shopping!
I looove Goodwill, mostly for old kitchen gadgets. My daughter suggested buying a popcorn maker (way cheaper and healthier than buying prepackaged microwave popcorn) We went hunting around and found one for $2.00! Works like a dream :D
Thank you so much everyone! I had a heck of a time with the EOs over heating and having a long crack along the top of the soap log. Thank goodness I did the thick peaks on top...it hides the crack a little bit!
I thought I would try something new and not use colorants or FOs (scented with EOs) I tried to make my pictures a bit more "artsy". I'm a HUGE fan of swirls and bright colors so it was hard restraining myself with these batches! :lol: Thanks for looking!
