Finally moved here. I have located a supplier for KOH, but it is quite far from me. I googled soaping supplies and cannot find much locally, other than a slew of chemical companies (one of them will sell me a kilo of KOH). I still have not located the best supplier for NaOH either. One kilo...

Extra scrubby since they have poppy seeds. Colors come from indigo, alkanet, rose clay, coffee and calendula. Blue is tea tree & mint, the other is citrus rosemary. Scented with EOs exclusively.

First soaps made after officially closing my business. These are for our use and maybe a couple for trading or gifting. The creamy one is 100% sweet almond oil and raw goat milk, no scent. I call it an almond goat milk castile (I realize this is not accurate). Intended for sensitive skin...

These are soy candles, scented with FOs but using botanical color infusion - alkanet (2 concentrations), anatto, paprika, chocolate (very light beige, should have used more?), nettle (a hint of green) and uncolored. Some of the scents are my blends: lavender, lilac, neroli, spice alley, moccha...

Every year I make soap in purple, green, and gold to be cured by January 6th. As usual these are created with botanical colors and scented with essential oils (lime, lemongrass, spearmint, basil, petitgrain and coriander). For the colors I used infused alkanet root, infused calendula petals...

I might move across the pond and one of my sisters has an interest in continuing the business I started. However, she lives across the continent in the beautiful state of Florida. I make soaps, but also: lip balms solid lotion bars massage oils...and a few other items. She likes the...

Tomato and pepper abundance with some eggplant and squash. This year varieties - eggplant rosa bianca and thai/Louisiana green, peppers: marconi, ancient, italia, alma paprika, cayenne, padrons, tabascos (shown) and not shown: datils, aji limons, jalapenos. Tomatoes: stupice, black cherries...

My very first PT soap! Used 15% PT and 0.5 oz PPO spearmint EO. Aloe vera juice to dissolve the lye. Also includes RBO, CO, cocoa and shea butters. The scent is somewhere between spearmint and pine tar, pretty good actually. I added the PT directly from the warmed can to the emulsified...

Charcoal & bentonite; and Charcoal & rose clay, using two different EO blends.

I must have a thousand pounds of these beauties, we are having a large crop this year. A minneola is a hybrid between a Dancy tangerine and a grapefruit. We sell them at our farmer's market, and besides mojitos, I thought I should also make some soap! I have made a minneola soap in the...

I used turmeric as a pencil line, and pureed soaked sea kelp. No other colorants. This soap is a new in several ways (new oil blend, new EO blend) and using coconut milk for the first time. It is also my second pencil line and I like it but I am getting a planer for the sides and loaf ends...

I have used sea kelp in 3 soap batches so far, I love the light speckled green look. It was used in soaps that have a coastal scent or ocean scent blend. Let me be more precise on the sea kelp. What I used was wakame, which I soaked in filtered water for 15 minutes just as if I was going...

all natural colors (plus vanilla...LOL).

I checked the forum, it seems I was not logged in. Many of the posts has advertisements embedded at the end. Do the post authors know this? If this happened to me - an advertisement embedded in my post without my knowledge - that would be my last post in any forum. Perhaps this is...

http://hoeggerfarmyard.com/how-to-make-a-goat-milk-castile-bar-soap/ The link above is for a blog that I have been writing for Hoegger supply company (supplies for goat farmers). The tutorial assumes that you have plenty of fresh goat milk around but no knowledge of soap making. It is way...

....without the wet sock smell. Fresh ginger smell. How is that done? not steam distillation, right? pressing? perhaps I can figure it out by reading the description. In any case, I would like to know a good supplier. CG's is the wet sock scented one, fortunately I did not buy much...

Used two different soap batches, one of them with infused alkanet. The liquid was frozen coconut water in both. For some reason the uncolored part did not gel and the colored part did, enhancing the contrast. The gel/no gel also creates an interesting texture difference between the two...

I received a couple of little bottles of this scent (complimentary?) with my last order of essential oils from BB. Any experience with this FO? it does not smell good OOB to me, but I am not into foodie scents, or FOs for that matter....but I do sell soap and some folks like these scents...
