Am I correct in my understanding that to make a solid bar of dish soap, you just don't have a SF, or at least not a very high one? How much of a role do the chosen oils play? I mostly see others using 100% CO but I have also seen one or two that is 100% OO. My plan was to use 100% CO, with only...

Tonight I made my first Relieving Salve 😁 Salves have been on my to-do list for a while now and my boyfriend has been having arthritis and muscle pain in his left shoulder so I felt inspired! The combination of the herbs in the infusion and the essential oils smell fantastic. Relieving Salve...

Hey everyone! I've been researching and going through the threads here and keep coming up with mixed answers. In HP soap, if adding yogurt after the cook, do I subtract the yogurt weight from the water I start out with prior to making my lye solution? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I found a recipe online I am wanting to try out, however, I was thinking about using Lavender Butter instead of the Shea Butter. Their sap values are equal, however, when adding the Lavender Butter manually into the calculator I do not know it's other "values" except for the sap...

Hello, my name is Dani. I've been reading posts on here for quite a while and today I finally created an account. I'm new to making soaps/bath bombs/bath salts/etc but I'm having a LOT of fun learning! My intentions is for this to be a fun side business for me. I work in the Veterinary...

Hi! I'm quite new to soap making and I have a recipe for a hot process soap I want to try. It is a cold process soap recipe, however, she says that this recipe works as Hot Process as well. For cold process, she adds her colorant (it's a botannical infusion) and EO at the same time with all the...
