Hi All, I recently heard a soaper say that she sprays her CP soap with alcohol after unmolding...Have you heard of that before? Does that work? I know I can try it, but as usual, I know I can get info from my soap family. Thank you!

Hi All, I am trying to finalize if its OK to add a bit of colloidal oatmeal to lotion or not. I see the opinions go back and forth (even outside of this forum). I understand the preservation issue, but then I see discussions about what kind of oatmeal to add... Is OK to add it in a well...

I wanted to share my latest soaps with you guys… Btw…question… I accidentally poured in a lot more castor oil than in my recipe. So far it’s not sticky, but would there be any other issues that may come up? I hope the soap is not ruined… it’s the Halloween colored one in the picture.

Hi All, this is the 3rd batch of liquid soap I made so far. The first 2 batches are perfect and I have been testing for the past week. This one….is it separating? The oils differed between them, but the hard difference is the addition of optiphen. Could it be the preservative that did...

Hi All! hope everyone had a nice holiday…I have 2 questions: Can a plastic mold me used for CP? Will the soap be released or will it stick to the mold? Also, if I poured shimmer glitter in oil throughout the soap batter, will it show up like a mica line or vein, or will it cause the soap to...

Hi there! I've tried to formulate this myself and regardless of how much olive oil I use, the recipe still gets thick before I can do any swirl designs...So I am sure my forum buddies have a few of these recipes up your sleeve! At a minimum I can see where my formulas are going wrong. Thank...

Hi All, I am a new soapmaker and still adjusting my formula. However, my soap does not leave my hands feeling nice at all (have not tried them on my body yet). I think my recipes are pretty balance, if not heavy on conditioning, but my hands still feel tight and are ashy...not cute. Here's...
