you can't say diffrent ingridents don't affect soap in diffrent ways- that's the whole idea of using diffrent oils in the first place

I like it here alot also I find it fun to talk about a hobby :-)

maybe you can try to dilute the clay in more water before adding to traced soap, with green clay I put some water, then add the clay to the water, and I don't care if it's runny, only makes it easier to mix with soap

OO less then 10% veg. oil like kanola CO and PO are very cheap more expansive: avocado, shea, mango, jojoba and going up

I've seen/ did more messing around with soaps without lufah so I don't mind the extra trouble, also when I didn't do it and left bigger pieces of lufah- the cuts never came out the way I wanted them and since I'm a perfectionist I prefer my system :-)

I do LOTS of lufah soaps they are a big hit, I pre-cut the lufah to soap size pieces otherwise it's hell to cut, then I pour small amount of soap in the mold, arrange the lufah pieces (on the soap "glue") and pour the rest of the soap on every lufah piece to make sure the little lufah holes will...

dead sea mud is a little exofiliating because these are sand molecules really the soap is amazinglly theraputic and many people like it alot also I would not recommed HPing it EVER, it was a horrible expirience for me Uploaded with ImageShack.us

ylang ylang is very sour to most people's taste and also geranium is bitter- it is good as anchor for other smells but it is not sweet and light as many preffer... patchuli is sweet to most people taste and it is long lasting in soap for sweet light smells I'd go for whatever everyone...

I don't think it's big issue since concn. is low and also citrus EOs fade real quick and they are so light in soap I wouldn't be worried

I put water first- then add some clay and mix as best as I can, I like it thin that's the easiest way

WOW

these oils are also sold diluted because of their high price and high conentration in original form- they smell strong even when diluted so. I was just wondering if anyone tried soaping with it? I know it's much less then usuall amount, but maybe they are strong enough to overcome it.

soda powder is the BEST deodorant, it stops the smell INSTANTLY cheap, effective, I\ve been using it all through the harsh summer here and I am very pleased
