Yes, I found the same info when I did a bit more searching. Still looks interesting to try but I'm holding off on it for now. :)

Wow, what a fantastic link! Can't wait til my mold and more m&p base arrive so I can give this a try! Thank you so much for posting that link! :D

I've just started looking into this as well since my dh gets a nasty red rash under his arms from commercial deodorants. Tabitha, do you add any essential oils to your deodorants or do you leave them unscented? And would they work for someone who tends to be a bit...er...stinky? :wink:

Thanks Mare and Ian! Actually, my dad came over to visit last night and stole it! lol So I'll have to make another one for me. :D Yep, Ian, I'm feeling the excitement alright! I'm ordering more m&p base this morning! lol It's funny, I wasn't really keen on the Vanilla Vanilla FO I...

Ok, so it's melt and pour and wasn't that difficult to do...but I'm still pretty darn proud! :D And considering that I have a 20 month old and another baby due in April, I'm a little leery about having lye in the house so I'll probably be sticking with m&p for quite some time. I ordered a...

I got the Vanilla Vanilla from Brambleberry and I don't like it at all. I find it very floral and not that warm, rich vanilla that I was hoping for. :? Anyone know of an FO that smells close to the Body Shop's Vanilla?

Definitely...we used to watch House and Heroes religiously and now we hardly watch anything at all. :? Usually, the only time the tv is on now is if the little guy is watching the Baby channel or if hubby's watching wrestling or boxing. Oh! and for American Idol. :D

I've got 8oz of coffee butter on the way and I can't wait to try this recipe! Thanks Rachelle!! :D

I have an opportunity to get in on a pre-buy for aloe butter for about $10.70/lb...which I think is a good price... Has anyone else used this? Would I use it just like any other soft butter like shea? Any suggestions? Thanks! :D

Hey, that looks great! You say you only colored with paprika? Very cool. Got my m&p base and my shea butter and FO's today and my dh looked sideways at it. "How much did all that cost?" he says. "Never mind, " I said, "I used my jewelry-making money for it." "Well, ok" he says, "but do...

Hey all! I've just come across a pre-buy for aloe butter and I'm intrigued but I'm not sure exactly what I would use it for. Has anyone else used this? Is it a soft butter like shea or a harder butter like cocoa? I'm thinking about trying the whipped shea/aloe combo using the aloe...

Oh, beautiful swirls in that soap! I'm loving the stonehenge balls too...never even thought of soap balls before! :D

Well, it worked out quite well! I melted on the stove in a glass bowl set in a pan of water at low temp. I was quite surprised how quickly the cocoa butter melted, but I did chop it up quite fine before starting. As soon as the cocoa butter was melted, I added the jojoba oil and the aloe...

They're both beautiful but the second is gorgeous! I'm wishing for a Smellernet too! :lol: Can't wait to get my M&P base! I'm curious how much of the extras you added? I was under the impression that you couldn't add anymore than a tablespoon of extras per pound of M&P base without...

Oh, well that's not too bad. Think I can make that do-able. Thanks dragon! :D Btw, your avatar cracks me up everytime! :wink:

Ouch, that is pricey! Are you using very much of it? If you were to make an 8oz jar of whipped shea butter approximately how much evening primrose oil would you add? Sorry for all the questions and thanks so much for the help! :D Thanks for the welcome Mare!

Oh, that's good to know, Paul! Thank you! Ok, I think I'll give this a try tomorrow using equal amounts of cocoa butter and jojoba oil (probably 2-2.5oz of each to make the math easier)and then using your 70/30 ratio of butter/oil to aloe vera. I think I'll do it on the stove using a...

It's 100% cocoa butter and hard as a rock! I think it's pretty funny that they sell it as a moisturizer in that form since I could barely dig any out with my fingernail! I just might have to give this a try with equal amounts of cocoa butter, jojoba oil and aloe vera gel. Just wondering...

I was very interested in a thread that SoapmakerMan posted about whipping shea butter and aloe vera gel together to create whipped shealoe butter and I'm dying to give it a try but I have to wait for my order of shea butter to arrive before I can. I did manage to pick up 4oz of cocoa butter...

Oh, that looks yummy! I'm looking forward to seeing the cut bars too! It's funny, I told my hubby the other night that I was interested in trying to make soap and he just looked at me like I was nuts and said "Why the heck would you want to do that? Just buy some!" I tried to explain about...
