Hey, I know that you can sub the water in the lye mixture out for milk, and coffee. I have also heard that you can puree veggies and use those. How would you do this, and are there any veggies that you would not want to do? Or any other liquid that should be avoided? I know that you would not...

Thanks! If my tallow has little black spec in it, does that mean that I did not strain it well enough?

Hey, I have been wanting to use tallow in my soap, and I have some in my fridge, however I rendered it myself. I cannot be sure that I kept it below the temp you are suppost to to render it. I have heard that you want to make sure that you have properly rendered tallow for use in soap. Is this...

Thanks! How long do they last in general? And how do you store them to last that long? I am also thinking of mixing coffee grounds into my soap because it is very good for your skin. Has anyone ever done that? Thanks again for your help!

Hey, so I have made a few CP soaps and I now an going to try using oat milk instead of water. I was wondering how long a normal cp soap will last, how long a cp soap with milk( any kind) will last, and what happens to the shelf life if you put actual food in it. For ex. if I sprinkled oats on...
