Yes, exactly. On the recipe when you go to print it, there is a spot on the right that you can hit to multiply it 3x. Here is my handwritten notes on the printed recipe though as well.

I do not mind at all, I love the breakdown of oils at the top of the post, and I used the same oils that the recipe calls for but I converted them to grams to have a more accurate measurement. https://www.parsnipsandpastries.com/diy-beard-oil/ Now for turning this into a beard balm, I added...

Okay. That actually helps a lot. Does it need to be arrowroot or would another kind of starch work as well? Could I possibly test it with corn starch do you think? Thank you!

Hello, I'm trying to formulate a recipe for solid lotion bars with what I already have ingredient wise and without buying the more expensive butters. I have: Beeswax Shea butter Coconut oil Palm oil Sunflower oil (not high oleic) Castor oil Apricot kernel oil Avocado oil Jojoba oil Olive oil I...

I'm glad for all the input, I think I might just stay away from the Crisco, shortening, etc. For now at least. I used it in one recipe a few months ago at a pretty high % but haven't used it since.

I found a beard oil recipe I really liked and added beeswax and Shea butter to it to make beard balm for my husband and his friends. I tried it on my hair and it is perfect, it is not a hair styling wax but also does not leave the hair greasy. Just nice for some conditioning and taming. I...

I cut this today and realized after that it's unintentionally camo colors. Tobacco and Bay Leaves FO.

I'm actually on the phone with her right now and relayed the message. :) Thanks for the suggestion.

Has anyone had good luck with using Crisco in soap making? I'm trying my best to make soap without spending a ton of money since it's just for family and friends as gifts.

So I used a purple from Brambleberry that I already knew was prone to morphing into grey in the main batch and added a mica that I bought off Etsy to the top portion. Their shop is I think, Dragon Dust Micas. (All of their colors have been beautiful)

Oh, I already knew it wouldn't have a good lather. I was making them as a super conditioning bar of soap for my sister that gets eczema rashes on her hands. I appreciate the input, I generally do a lot of reading on what I plan to do before trying. But I also am using cheaper oils/butters so if...

I finally used soapcalc to make my own recipe. It's the first batch I've formulated myself and it is also a Soleseife bar. I used dead sea salt in my water, and I scented them with Bergamot Tea FO.

I was really excited when I got on the website and saw the prices on the FO, I immediately put in an order with scents I am hoping will be great for the fall/winter. Thank you so much, the 2 OZ bottles I am getting to try out scents are at least $2 cheaper each than what I was looking at on...

I am wanting to start making some nice fall/winter scented soaps to send to my family for the holidays so that everything has a nice cure time. I have had a lot of luck in finding fruity/sweet smells on Brambleberry but I am super disappointed in the lack of spicy fall/winter scents I have...

Well, this is good to know. My husband bought me a giant glass measuring cup last night to make soap for my 3lb mold, since I'm uncoordinated and really need something with a spout to not drip. At least since I haven't used it yet I can navigate it to my baking cupboard instead.

What if I'm using a plastic container to mix my lye in and the container that my oils are in that I mix in is glass? Is that any safer?

I am pretty new to soap making and I made a soap that ended up really unattractive, I don't like the idea of waste and I also don't super love how regular rebatch looks but I am trying a whipped rebatch method. I like the idea of zero waste, so I'm trying not to toss anything. Maybe if you...

Hi, my name is Rachel. I have been looking into soap making for 3-4 years now, and finally decided to dive in. I really like to try out different ways of doing things and look forward to learning from others experiences in soap making. :)

I hope I'm allowed to share links here, I just started making soap after watching soap making videos for about 3 years and I did a lot of reading and watching of tutorials. I did some searching when I finally decide to dive in and found a blog with a few beginner recipes that were very simple...
