Well when I plugged my recipe into soapcalc first, it had my bubbly at 18. Is that decent?

Has anyone every used this? Would this be solid enough to use in a lotion bar instead of cocoa/shea/mango, ect?

Thanks! Yes, I do know. :) I don't usually gel my soaps, anyway. Mostly because I'm too lazy to try to get a full gel, haha. So I just find it easier to stick it in the fridge. :P I will try this recipe. :)

Awesome, thanks. So I should just shuffle my numbers around a bit? And I know cleansing can also be drying, what is a good number for cleansing that isn't too drying?

Hi all. I haven't made soap in quite a while(I'm still a bit of a newbie), and I am placing an order next week for supplies. (I can't wait, I haven't stopped thinking about it!) I don't even remember what recipes I used to use......I had a really great, hard bubbly bar, but cannot for the...

I use lavender, and various citrus, and some thyme. I love it. I use it in the shower often.

I read somewhere that sometimes they call Palm oil (and i think other oils, or a combination of different vegetable oil "fats") "vegetable tallow", not really sure why. I guess just because it is a suitable replacement for animal tallow? But I also read about the chinese tallow tree, too.....

Thanks everyone! I think I will try my hand at some massage bars while I am waiting to track down lye. I have an itch and it really needs to be scratched soon!

I got some at a health store in Ottawa about 2 years ago. Like the kind of store that sells essential oils (at crazy high prices, I might add) and organic food, clothing, bath product and all that. Not a health food store, although they might also carry it.

Lovely! I love the colour combo!

Thanks! I'll post some pics as soon as I track down some lye! :p I can't wait! I've been stocking up on other ingredients and I am sooo excited to put them to use! And We are moving into a new place in a couple weeks, where I will finally have my own soap room! (No matter what my boyfriend says. :P)

Well, I'm a born and raised maritimer, so it's alright, but it get pretty boring here. I just moved back from Montreal, so it's a big change to get used to it all over again. I'm just trying to make the best of it while I'm here. In my eyes, The Maritimes are a great place to vacation, go to...

Thanks, AmyW. What part of Canada are you moving to? And I know, I never did find out where that lye ended up....it was a pretty decent amount, I don't know if it went in the garbage or what..... I know you can find lye in some hardware stores in the bigger cities, but I just moved back to...

Thanks!

Hi all! I stumbled across this forum, and I just LOVE it. Been reading it for a little bit now, and decided to join in. I have a few batches of soap under my belt, but not many....and I haven't made any in quite some time, due to financial reasons, mostly. Also due to the fact that it is hard...
