    Natural colorants using clay and an infuse oil

    Please help if you can.. How do you make a loaf of CP soap with rose clay and an infused oil in the same batch? I’m having the hardest time and wasting a lot of ingredients. Thank you in advance:)

    Water Discount

    Thank you for your response! This is good to know. I don’t mind the wait time for it to thicken up. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing something wrong as I never had tried it before. I don’t gel my soaps but I absolutely love that I don’t get soda ash

    Water Discount

    Hi All! I’m playing around with lye concentrations or water discounts. I usually use a 33% lye concentration but thought I’d try 37%( not sure why I chose that number) but I soap anywhere between 85-90F with this new concentration and my soap batter reaches a light trace but doesn’t get any...

    Please advise on eo in CP soap

    I’ve been making cold process soap with essential oils (i don’t CPOP) but unfortunately the scent fades during the curing process. I create a kaolin clay slurry the night before with my EO’s but the scent just doesn’t have staying power. I’ve tried these oils so far (orange patchouli lime...

    Not sure about my soap

    Thank you so very much for your response! I used fresh frozen cubes of coconut milk. I replaced the water for “lye solution” for the frozen coconut milk cubes. And, no I don’t heat the oils up to 150F and fully cool. I do melt the coconut oil and add my other oils to that. That’s interesting in...

    Not sure about my soap

    I made a CP coconut milk and turmeric soap(unscented). I didn’t CPOP it but I did cover it with a towel and small piece of cardboard to avoid the towel from falling in and hopes of not getting soda ash. I do believe it gelled and it started to get too hot so I moved it somewhere cooler(I don’t...
