    Used pomegranate juice instead of water?

    I had no idea about the need to amend NaOH when using lemon / lime juice. That was a great article - thank you

    Brambleberry international shipping (WTH?)

    wow - how on earth do you know all that? Great info! The Italy one interests me. . My boss bought in some 'Hemp and blah blah luxurious' bars of soap. Hemp oil is legal to use here. Her business runs through shopify. About 6 months into things we got a 'cease selling' notice from shopify or...

    SMF October 2021 challenge - butterfly hanger swirl

    Although my skillbase in in Maori Medicine - I did use Mustard Oil in a salve. (Pain relief / warming). My issue - and those who used it - was never about skin irritation but rather the smell :)

    Do you see any blue???

    Just rechecked the supplier's recomendations / reviews and NOW they're saying 'not recommended for CP' and I see someone else has posted a 'pink' issue

    Do you see any blue???

    In M&P I also got pink - an awful slurry pink. M&P isn't really my thing but I thought I'd give it a whirl and because of what happened I thought there must be something about the M&P process I'm not aware of so just kind of let it be. Then a while later I did a CP and got pink instead of blue...

    Do you see any blue???

    IKR!? I checked the pack and the suppliers info on it and it is def for soap-making. In fact I've used it 3 times now and each time I got pinky tones instead of blue. (M&P, and 2 CP's) - each time I thought I'd done something wrong but I just think it must be faulty in some way now. I guess 3...

    Do you see any blue???

    I was making a batch for a friend and wanted to do a seascape..sand on the bottom, seaweed, then a dark blue for the sea, lighter blue for the sky and some golden sparkles on top. Everything that could go wrong went wrong with this batch. I managed to spill my Caustic soda when measuring it, I...

    Your Thoughts Please

    TRuly love your marketing concept. The 4th soap in blue or white...if only the blue was purple! lol. Wisteria, heliotrope, . I think I like Dibles idea of 'Blue ...." then you could include lavender. OR could you make a floral blend and call the bar Blue Posey or Blue bouquet?

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Yup - I found it irritating to my skin. I wanted to make some - because well it's a 'thing' to make Pine Tar soap but I use myself as the gauge and if a soap irritates my skin I tend not to make it again. The smell is amazing though - campfires and embers :)
