    An Attempt - Hot Process Soap

    I'm not sure. I just know when I finished cooking my soap I then added my fragrance oils, colorant, and then added sodium lactate to it. Then it began to seize up terribly and then became crumbly, dry pieces :\

    An Attempt - Hot Process Soap

    ...Aaaaannnnnd I failed. Terribly. See, I was trying to create a soap for guys that would cure within a span of one to two weeks, hence I found the hot process method. I had made plans to create a batch of hot process soap and then allow it to cure for a week before giving them away. However...

    My DIY Soap Hanger Tool

    Hi everyone, I thought to go ahead and post this for some extra opinions, but I tried to create my own soap hanger tool using a hanger wire, some straws, and then ducktape. Also, I tried looking at some DIY videos regarding this handcrafted tool, and for the most part, people just stick with...

    What Would Be Great Oil Blends?

    My fragrances just came in the mail today, so I immediately went ahead to try them out. And, much to my suprise, I love patchouli more than the sweetgrass fragrance. To me, patchouli smells like a sweetened, woody, scent. Goes very nicely with my cherry pineapple. I think I'll use majority of my...

    Came to a Realization

    These look really awesome! I'm a new CP soaper and trying to get off the ground myself. I'm still learning the swirls and designs, so, as a novice, what can I do to create those lucrative drop swirls and creative concepts?

    How to Keep Soap Scents From Fading?

    Can I use a standard digital scale to weigh my fragrance oils? I tried to use it, but I wasn't able to get a number on my scale.

    What Would Be Great Oil Blends?

    I thought about using sandalwood. I'm still new to the soap making arena and saw that patchouli is one of the male chosen fragrances. I never smelled patchouli before, but I figured it would be nice to have a masculine and feminine blend of scents. However, I've been reading a couple of threads...

    How to Keep Soap Scents From Fading?

    I didn't know that. When I was starting out with my first batch I purchased these small bottles of fragrance oils and they were 0.33 ml. When I tried to weigh them I couldn't get a proper weight due to the scale not reacting to these bottles. So, I tried to guestimate how much I would need...

    What Would Be Great Oil Blends?

    Hello soapers, So, as of today I purchase a great deal of fragrance oils to use in my future soaping crafts. For the most part, the soap I want to achieve is going to be a unisex kind of soap where everyone can use the soap without it being 100% masculine or feminine. I want to ask your...

    How to Keep Soap Scents From Fading?

    Hello again, About two to three days ago I created two batches of separate soap and added the fragrance oils into the mixture. I tried adding enough (I'm still unsure about accurate measurements of oils) and the scent came out great. I allowed them to cure during the 24 - 48 hour process, but...

    Cupcake Soap - First Attempt!!

    Hi guys! I am back from making my first cupcake soap. I made a coffee latte cupcake soap and then drizzled some cocoa on top, though it came out more watery than anticipated... I managed to create an emulsion on the first try, but when I decided to create an orange soap I didn't properly...

    CP Mixture Accelerating Too Fast?

    I just found that out yesterday. I think my main problem is overmixing and creating a thicker soap base than needed. I was using 80 - 90 degrees beforehand and still had the reoccuring problem.

    Preparing to Create First Cupcake Soap - Nervous!!!

    Hello again, I thought I go ahead and get my hands into making a cupcake soap. My plan is to create a coffee mocha and vanilla soap, but I cannot help but feel a little nervous, and scared, perhaps. I am planning to start my project in the morning, so what advice would be necessary when...
