Just poured up Cinnamon Toast container candles. I always mix my own colors using Candlewic Liquid Dyes. I must have made the wrong notes the last time I made these because my "Cinnamon" color is mauve and a dark one at that. Here is what I used: I want a nice cinnamon color. 2 drops blue...

Hi Paul, you have a PM from Jean

I am looking for a source to purchase small amounts of palm oil. I have looked at Wal Mart and my grocery store, but have not seen any. Where do you all get yours when you are only needing small amounts. Thanks Jean

I decided to go ahead and post a picture here in the gallery of my Cedarwood Salt Soap

I don't know if you would call this a salt bar or not, but I was wanting to run the recipe past you to see if it sounds okay. I sort of made it up, using what I had on hand. This is a RTCP Soap made on July 19 23 % Soybean Oil (liquid Vegetable Oil in a jug) Coconut Oil 38% (76 Deg...

Help!! I am in the middle of making soap and I don't have enough lard, I only have 7.25 oz. I don't have any Palm Oil either. What could I use for a substitute? Here is my recipe Palm Kernel 15.84 oz. Lard 11.04 oz. Olive Oil 6.72 oz. Crisco...

I have been using Titanium Dioxide Powder (Water Soluble) for the last three batches of soap. The first time I tried it I got pretty white soap, the next time, not so white (this was because the Olive Oil was too dark) and yesterday, well it looks like I have frost the on top of my bars. Now...

After ten years of making soap, and using it, I think I have developed a reaction to Coconut Oil. I have pretty much weeded out the fragrance oils. I have been searching today for a good recipe without coconut oil, but have not found any yet. I am sure this has been on a thread in the past...

Didn't get exactly what I was hoping for but thought you might enjoy seeing pictures of the batch I made yesterday. I put about one Tbs. powdered sugar in the "icing" thinking it might make it whiter, but that didn't work. The sugar didn't seem to hurt the soap any. Has anyone else tried...

This has probably been addressed before, but I couldn't find anything about it on "search" today. I know you can add titatium oxide or something like that, but I don't have any. I am making a chocolate soap with white "icing" and my base soap is pretty ivory. What does starch or baking soda...

Okay, this is what I have come up with to replace Palm Oil in the whipped soap recipe I am wanting to make: Lard 36% Coconut Oil 40 % Canola 20% Castor Oil 4 % Using Soapcalc. I came up with: Hardness 48 Cleansing 27 Conditioning...

Here are pictures of my first batch of whipped soap. I added Flowering Dogwood as my fragrance and it smells like Spring. I am going to make some more, it was a lot of fun. [/url][/img]

Paul, you have a PM

Paul and Faithy, I just wanted to let you know that I made my first batch of goat milk soap and aloe vera juice using Paul's method. I mixed my lye 50/50. It really turned out nice and I am very proud of it. Even halved my recipe and it all worked. I don't have my swirls down yet but I'm...

Thanks to Faithy and Paul, I am attempting my first batch of RTCP, using Faithy's version of my recipe. My lye is in the works, and all my oils are mixed. Right now the oils look like tapioca pudding. I whipped the mixture with my hand-held mixer and there are still some coconut oil not...

Hello to everyone. I have been making soap for almost eleven years and found this forum about a month ago. Have been reading it daily ever since. Have enjoyed it so much and feel like everyone is so helpful. I live in LaMonte Mo. just seven miles from Whiteman AFB. My husband is retired...

Could someone please help me figure out what these white swirls are in my soap. I am thinking it may be a reaction to the fragrance oils I used. The recipe I used is: 24 oz. Coconut oil 38 oz. Crisco 24 oz. Olive oil 12 oz. lye 32 oz. water fragrance oils I haven't done anything any...
