In 2020 the lye I buy from Home Hardware was around $20 - $25. I went to purchase 2 weeks ago and the price had risen to $45!! 😫😫

Try New Direction Aromatics.

I've seen YouTube videos where people have put them in a zip lock bag with some mica and shook it around for a bit.

I gift my soaps to friends and family. I have some people who love them and encourage me to sell, I have other persons who say they are too pretty to use. I tend to continue to gift them to the people who tell me they like or those who ask. I respect the fact that my bar soap obsession isn't...

Thanks for this, I've never had a zappy soap before so this was a shock for me for sure! I will note that for next time.

The majority was soft crumbly, but I just went to melt down in my crackpot and found that one layer was hard crumbly and lye heavy as it zapped. So when i thought i mixed to a light trace and then seperated for the colours it must not have been mixed properly. The soap shreds I would have blitz...

Decided to experiment this weekend and made 3 loafs of soap, 2 using my usual recipes and the last I used a recipe from a popular YouTube soaper, I adjusted by adding goats mill powder and soap shreads.... I left it in the mold for 2 days unmolded tonight to a big crumbly mess. Not sure if I...

Thanks!

Hi, I live in Ontario and have previously gotten no stir palm oil from Windy Point in Calgary for a decent shipping price. I actually checked this week and they are currently sold out so I was thinking of trying the palm oil (not no stir) from New Direction Aromatics. Would you mind saying...

I went to the showroom to smell the fragrances before I purchased. I'm not sure if ypu can buy on the spot or if you still have to wait the processing time. It isn't a storefront but a showroom where they had samples of the products they sell.

Before picking up my last order I emailed and asked if they had reopened the showroom. They said yes and I sniffed ALL of the fragrances when i went to collect. 😊

@deafsoaper just an FYI that NDA has re-opened the showroom so you can smell the fragrances before you purchase.

Having a productive weekend, did a batch of lotion bars, shower steamers and a 100% coconut soap as well as another loaf soap with my regular recipe. I'm itching to make another soap tomorrow but at this rate I need more friends to destash to!!

I made some shower steamers and wanted to paint them, would it work to mix mica or avlctovated charcoal with alcohol to paint them? I did read that using witch hazel to melt menthol crystals wouldn't cause them to activate but I tried that and it immediately started bubbling so I know with...

Sorry to hear about your friend. Disclaimer, I live to read but an easy funny reason is Trevor Noah's Born a Crime. Also, not aure hoe much your friend is into crafts but maybe you can find a small crafting kit, I've found some to embroidery Christmas ornaments, adult coloring books, the...

Hi! I'm from Ontario as well . I was able to find some small and large stainless steel mixing bowls in dollarama to mix my lye but I sometimes interchange using those with a milk jug although come to think of it I've never checked the grade of plastic. I got my kitchen scale and my first...

Today I collected some fragrances from New Directions Aromatics. I changed jobs and pass their location every day to get to work so decided to give them a try. Super excited to test these fragrances so may make a 100% coconut soap tonight.

I actually saw the corn silk on this forum and decided to try it as I had lots of corn during the summer This was my thought but I wanted to have them colored so that it would go with my theme, but I can always do a mica drizzle I guess 😊 I had previously done a batch with those additives and...
