I made four loaves of soap on Friday (two “First Snow” and two “We Three Kings”) I usually cut between 12 and 24 hours but I didn’t cut them until today (Sunday evening) so 48 hours later. They weren’t too hard to cut, although the edges did end up a bit rough (which is fine because I bevel my...

Does anyone know the usage rate of myrrh? I can’t find it anywhere online, including eocalc.

Does this look like it’s between 9 and 10? That’s fine, right? All of my soaps tested with the same color but when i see other soapers test the ph of their bars it’s usually green.

Hello all! So, when I make soap I make a 16.5 pound batch and split it in two, making three loaves of one kind of soap and three of another kind (my recipe is VERY slow moving so I’m able to do this) Recently I’ve been having stearic spots show up in my soap, but they will often only appear in...

This might be a dumb question… If I can add 168 grams of lavender eo to my recipe and can use the same amount of another essential oil but want to blend them, do I add 168 grams of each or do I split each in half? I hope that makes sense!

This soap has me confused… It’s an oatmeal and honey soap that I’ve made in the past, the only thing that happened differently was I worked at higher temps (I forgot my oils on the burner so they got to 200 degrees, I waited for them to get down a bit and then mixed them with my liquid oils...

I made lavender and tea tree! I love how they came out. 😍 I’m hoping I can unmold them tomorrow so I could get a couple other batches made! (I only have 6 of these molds currently, I need to get some more ) I’m thinking I’ll do an unscented oat and honey and then maybe a citrus. We’ll see! (:

I have a goat milk soap business and ran out of fresh milk. I have some in the freezer but it’s over a year old, so I was planning on waiting until my goat gives birth (in the next few weeks!) and then start making soap like crazy. BUT there is a festival on June 10-11 and I would love to go. If...

I just introduced myself in another thread, but I said on there that I’ve recently found a place where I can pay rent to supply my soaps and have cashiers sell them. Recently I’ve been focusing on the “artistic” area of soap rather than health benefits. I want to start afresh with this new...

Hello! I’ve been part of this forum for a while but haven’t introduced myself yet! My name is melody and I am a young entrepreneur. I was raised on a farm and now own my own American Alpine goats. In 2019 I started making goat milk soap because we were overrun by milk. I started by selling...

Hello! I am making soap for my sisters baby (due in January). What oils should I use/stay away from? My idea was to make round or oval soaps (I wanted to add some white kaolin clay but will that harm baby?) and then pipe “BABY” on them with blue soap colored with indigo (is that also safe?)...

How do you rebatch soap with lye crystals? The lye did not dissolve in half of my stock of soap and I really don’t want to throw away 100s of dollars worth of soap if at all possible.

Can anyone tell me what this is?

I wasn’t sure what category to post this under (im new here!) so I hope this is ok. I made soap dough a while back with great success! 70% olive oil, 30% coconut oil, and I think I had it at 2.5:1 water:lye. I went to make a bigger batch to sell at a festival this weekend (4 pounds, 4...
