I have this and they no longer make it or atleast I cant find it. I made a 38 oz batch and i believe i overdosed it. I put in 2.7 oz maybe less ( it's been a few batches inbetween)....I contacted the company. I've used it and no skin irritation. It was made hot processed and I thought it...

So, I don't see a lot on hot processed soaps. I am read mixed reviews about scooping it when it reaches the dry mashed potatoe stage and when I do and I unmold ( even when I press firmly) it almost has these weird ....layers. My question is,can I scoop it in when it's in the jelly like...

I made my first salt bar yesterday on a whim. It turned out great. I followed the recipe Soap Queen shared but substituted out the palm oil with lard. It calls for shea butter and luckily I had just enough for this experiment, however can I use castor oil in replace of the butter? I'm looking...

Orange creamsicle. A whipped up a batch of soap yesterday after my daughter found my orange cream fragrance and asked me to make some.

I made a cold process honeycomb pattern goatsmilk soap. It turned out really well. It went through a partial gel phase but overall I am happy with it. The last step I hff ave is drizzling glycerin on the top for a melted honey effect but should I wait til it cures more or do it now since I cut it?

Alright, ya'll have me wanting to try salt bars. The thing is I think my recipe is off. I was using the soapmaking recipe builder but I use goat's milk and this is very high in fat compared to other goat's milk I have bought ( I buy local goat's milk ). Anywho, I was reading it is mostly coconut...

Just a few pictures of some soaps I have done.

I am making a honey scented soap and would like to have a honeycomb effect so I was thinking of lining my mild with bubble wrap. Will this be successful with milk soap? It's so soft and I wasn't sure if it would stick to the plastic and become a mushy mess when unmolding. I tend to only have...

Would you use the same amount as if you were using other essentials oils or less due to the purity?

I have the opportunity to sell my soaps in a store, however they can't have titanium dioxide in them. For me that's a problem as I use it to give the goatsmilk that creamy color ( I use olive oil) and I use micas. I do use nanoparticle free TD. I explained this to the owner and also explained...

I was asked to make tea tree oil and lavender soap. Well we all know how potent tea tree oil is and I let them know it may take over the lavender fragrance and I have never worked with tea tree oil to be honest. I went on the BB fragrance calculator. I am not quite sure how to divide this as I...

I never made a honey soap. I tend to keep my ingredients simple and I don't add a ton of oils. I do 14 oz pure olive oil 11 oz coconut oil 11 oz lard 2 oz castor oil 5.5 oz lye 12.3 oz goat's milk If I add honey how much would I add and would I only add 1 ounce of the castor oil...

Love Spell wants to stick around and somy cedarwood and sage may have a slight hint of it lingering.....peachy 😉 I have it soaking in vinegar and soap. Will each hurt my molds?

I made Love Spell for Valentine's Day. It turned out Love but we when I do a smooth cut the bottom gets stuck so I typically do wavy. I'm working on getting a wire one. Anyway, goat's milk is my thing so here we are. It it Barbie pink with white and pink biodegradable glitter on top 😊

So this is cocoa cashmere fragrance. I hated working with this fragrance. It seized on me the first time and it was like concrete instantly. I think it's the sandlewood in it but I honestly don't know what happened. The next time I worked extra fast but it came out like this. The steric spots...

I make cold process and nhave my soaps cure on large plastic racks in the garage. I also use a dehumidifier. I live in Oregon and now it's the rain season so I noticed there is moisture and I went to dump the container from the dehumidifier and it was very full. Will this make it do my soaps...

So I need help. My new scale is not in decimal form 😩 It's in fractions and I am not good at math guys! So it called for 12.3 oz of goat's milk. I think that's 12 3/8 oz? The lye mixture was 5.5 oz so that fraction was easy. Anyway the flakes, I dislike. I do my lye mixture and I think they are...

Are these are bubbles or from lye flakes that didn't dissolve all the way? I usually use the lye beads that are food grade but I bought the flakes and I swear it takes FOREVER and even when I thought they were fully dissolved I saw some at the very bottom of my goat's milk lye mixture when I was...

Hello there. New to the forum. Oregon Groves LLC is a small business residing in Southern Oregon. We create cold process goat's milk soap. I absolutely love it though lately I have been having some issues and some O figured out why ( my scale popped a rubber foot pad and I later discovered that...
