I've been searching for an answer and I can't find it, probably because this is a very stupid question! How do I add this to my lotion? I know preservative is added at cool down, but do I just mix the dry powder in, or mix it with water first?

because i can't forget about my first love..:) Uploaded with ImageShack.us

And it came out great!! I followed swiftcraftymonkeys (omg i'm in serious love w/her blog!) basic recipe using olive oil and cocoa butter, plus a humectant (honeyquat) and it worked! Ok, it's my first time and I'm a little over excited, I know, but it's so nice to make something, have it...

My first lotion bars made with sweet almond oil, cocoa butter & beeswax. Next time I'll make them smaller, I didn't realize how long these would last! I only made two, so I kept one and gave one to a friend. I used a HIWTK fo dupe, they smell great and melt on skin contact. Very basic, but still...

How phenomenal is this lady?? I just have to say, I've been looking at her blog for some time now and holy-moly, what incredible stuff Susan puts together! And all the while donating her time and talent. I'm so excited to read her e-book, and so happy to make the donation. I printed out...

Ah, i'm so not good at the swirl thing. Of course, my recipe thickened by time I was done, but I still love all my little children :wink: Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I know there are many salt soap fans on here, including myself. A while back, Hazel had suggested that I start a thread re salt soaps holding their fragrance; what morphs, what sticks, what doesn't and for how long. I have tried salt soap with as much as 100% sea salt and as little as 25% sea...

So far, I've had 2 batches that developed DOS. One was a 100% OO batch that I made early last August. It DOS'ed I believe by October. It was very hot & humid last summer, but the whole batch didn't develop it. I had to throw some away, but I was able to give some of it to my MIL. I...

Found this at thrift for $4, I thought it was cute, so I spruced it up: Uploaded with ImageShack.us

First time long, slow crock-pot infusion/first time I've used Almond Oil in soap. I used less PO than usual, more OO and 10% Almond Oil. It shocked me how hard these are! I left them unscented. I'm surprised and pleased with how plain & pretty they came out, can't wait to try them...

The white flowers are 100% OO. I wanted to try some Castor and Rose Clay in it so I cut the flowers and added them into the bar mold using 90% OO, 10% Castor and some of the clay. At first I was upset that the clay soaps ashed over badly, but I got over it and now I think it looks pretty cool :)...

Not feeling good, been home from work since Friday. (I usually work most of the weekend) I really wanted to make soap today, but need to be on my A game for CP. Melt & Pour is so fun and safe I figured I'd do that instead. This loaf kept me busy for hours! Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I was so excited to make this soap that I couldn't sleep last night. Yes, my life's pretty lame, lol. I used just a drop of rose clay for color and I split half n half Pink Himalayan medium coarse sea salt and regular fine sea salt, I just hope its not too scratchy. I did the 1:1 water to...

Hello! You may have noticed by now that I'm a dedicated salt soap fan! I got some really pretty medium course Himalayan Pink sea salt from BB. I was planning on using a portion of it in my soap, along with regular, fine ss, and some on top, just to look pretty. I would love to color my salt...

Hi all, This weekend, if I'm lucky, I'd like to make a rose scented loaf, colored with rose clay. In another thread, Relle9 had mentioned that my particular fo, True Rose from Sweetcakes, didn't stick very well for her. My question is- does anyone know if clay helps a scent to stick, and if...

I got this recipe from AmandaG. She posted it on the BB site when they started selling the Sea Clay (I think) Anyway, there's no PO in it, but a ton of cocoa butter. This is so different than anything I've made, I can't wait to see how it feels. It's supposed to be a facial soap but I'm going...

Ok, I let out a squee tonight when I got home from work- my Sweetcakes order was here. True Rose FO- omgoshgollyjustpurewonderful. Rose clay soap on deck :)

I'm going to bundle these with my Rose Lip Balms (when they're perfected) for Valentine's Day gifts! Oh, and this is my weak attempt at a light box, lol :) Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Good Morning, all, missed you yesterday! I recently bought some Rose lip balm flavor oil from Sweetcakes. The thought of Rose lip balm just seemed so attractive to me. I want to give some to my Mom (she loves Rose), girlfriends and DD for a Valentines Day, along with some pretty heart soaps...
