Has anyone ever used any of these in CP? I love the smells of all of these, but don't know how well they will hold up. If anyone has tried please let me know. Thanks MM

I live in the south and this time of the year with the Magnolias blooming is my favorite. Nothing compares to this wonderful smell. Like having a "Big O" in your nasal passageway. Does anyone sell this scent?

Been a while since I have been around. Still making soap as often as I can or as my few customers will allow. I am doing well with a citrus soap, but have heard that bergamot has a nice smell. Any one know how well it holds up. Side note. When I use citrus oils I use a carrier scent like...

I am guessing i can use these for my oils in the right quantities??? Share the info please as I am new at the lotion making as you all can tell.

anyone put this in their soap? How does it turn out and how much do you use? I have also been using the RTCP method as well. Thanks Michael

Is there something out there like there is for soap?

I made some for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Seemed to turn out nice until I saw mold growing in it. It seemed to be nice until then. 1 part emus wax 2 parts glycerin 6 parts oils 12 parts water I was told this was too much glycerin and oils and has no preservatives. Can anyone...

I am having too much fun making round soap at the moment so I haven't bought one of the TOG molds, but I got my soap dish's today and they are just wanted. I hope I sell some of these so I can re-invest some of the profits into one of the TOG mold. Thanks Paul, your soap dish's are great.

One of the first soaps I made called for 1 tsp/lbs of soap. I have always stuck with this but knowing it should be based on weight right???? I also know there are lots of variables with flash points and all, but I feel i do too much guessing. Does anyone have a good rule on how much to use or...

I still can't figure out the soap calc sorry OO 12 oz lard 3 oz Caster. 1.5 oz crisco 5 oz Coconut 8.5 Water 9oz lye 4.3 oz

I am having a hard time (surprise) on figuring out how to put in my lye and water. This is my base recipe. OO 30oz, CO 20oz and SO 10oz. I add 20oz of water and 244grams (8.6oz) of lye. to me it has a nice lather and gets fairly hard. What does the calc say? The coconut oil is what they sale at...

Now I am going to see if I can do a swirl in the mold. The bar on the right is a rebatch. I don't mind the look of it so much as far a rebatching goes.

Anyone have any recipes for a nice massage oil base? I have to do a soap basket for my kids school art club auction and need to add a few extra things besides soap. I have used almond oil and it is nice but absorbs slowly.

Made my first batch of room temp cold process, it was easy to do and the eo's seem to hold up much better. Hope it works as well for me in the future and not just beginners luck. Thank you all for your knowledge and your willingness to share it with others. As soon as I get my computer back at...

I need to know more about this RTCP method of making soap with aloe juice. I hope it's not a trade secret cause I am all about saving time with three daughters 9 and below. Like I said before, I see my soap making knowledge is only ankle deep.

I have been making soap for a couple of years now and have been feeling pretty cocky. Now that I am spending more time "learning" about soap making I realize my knowledge is in the shallow end of the pool. For my question: Where does everyone get these hardness, lathering, conditioning...

Thanks to everyones advice, I think it looks pretty nice. It is the BB green tea with lemon EO. Thanks again for advice on PVC

I see them mentioned on a post, but don't know what they are and where to get them.

I have always used a soap box and want to make some round bars. Anyone have any advice on using PVC? I am guessing that I just need to grease it down real good? Can I cap both ends or does it need to be able to vent?

Hey all, New to the board....I have been making cp soap now for a couple of years and enjoyed it. The one problem is the scent seems to fade completely with some essential oils after just a couple of months. When I go the the natural food store and smell some of the larger suppliers soaps...
