I would like to know that, too.

I used to have lard listed as the first ingredient. It was more noticeable that way, of course. I like to add goats' milk, too, so I rarely do completely vegan. I like lard perfectly fine myself. Thanks for the input and recipe Candybee! Definitely agree about letting high-olive oil soaps...

Thank you for the recipe and ideas about what to do with these ingredients! I never tried salt in soap except a failed salt bar. Sounds good! I'm going to ease back into it with a unscented soap. I have scents that set up kinda fast and I think I'll wait til I'm back in the saddle for...

HelloI like lard but there's a stigma against it for some reason, even with people who aren't vegetarian. Then I don't like palm either because of the environmental problems with it. Ecological kind is so expensive, too. Here's what I do have on hand: coconut oil castor oil shea...

I better plan this right. If you do clay in one portion, you must stick blend it very strongly before adding the lye water. There may be a little acceleration with this scent but maybe not in just 1 # of oils. Badger I think it's one of the best scents I've ever ordered. Smells so rich and...

I have candle science's Oakmoss and Amber. I wonder if red clay or Rhassoul clay (soft tan color) would work. I think it does discolor kind of gold, though and I was planning to add a little goats' milk.

I use open cardboard boxes and shove 'em under the bed. But I don't have that many. I take them out and see how the color and the scent is doing and rotate them. I want a shelf something like yours.

Very nice colors and swirls!

Oh, gosh really pretty! Those should sell like hotcakes (if you sell them).

Wow, neat idea about the light blue. Looks great!

Are you having to use 1.5 oz per pound though?

It came in an email saying 15% off fragrances. I think you might have to be registered at Peak's to get the notices or on a mailing list or both.

1.5 oz per pd seems like a lot of scent. I think I'd just let it be on the light side or choose a stronger Love Spell. But I guess it's not a real strong scent generally.

The only drawback is the ground shipping is a little high for a small order.

melstan, from my ltd experience 2 teaspoons per pd for very fine and smooth clay like white and rose kaolin. If its a rougher clay like the Rhassoul I bought I'm only going with 1 teaspoon per pd and I sift it well beforehand.

Just when I was dazzled by the first 3 there was more! Really nice, all of them, Timber.

Just got the email a little earlier. Sometimes it's not even the money, it's the time. Wish I didn't have to sleep!

I got the Fudge Chocolate, too! :) And I bought Oakmoss & Amber and it is outstanding.

4 on the side of the bathtub, 4 on the sink. One is just awful. I'm only using it only because it had rice bran oil in it and I wanted to see how much I liked it. But the scent is terrible from the morph. I might as well throw it away. Sometimes that's the best outcome for a soap. Just...

I like grams and I've been starting to do more recipes that way lately. One batch I have some trepidation about is Heather fragrance oil. Might not seize so quickly in a small batch. At least I hope!
