Hii! When ordering a bunch of herbs a few days I noticed that that supplier sells laurel oil! And not even at those insane prices I've heard before. So, looking at wikipedia, the "recipe" was like 2-30% laurel oil + olive oil. It also said that they use seawater. That's where I hit a wall...

Hii everyone! Every time I make soap, ever since I started soapmaking, I have never had a thin trace batch like the one you see in the videos. The close-to water kind of trace. The moment I add my lye to my oils and pulse stickblend for just a second, the mixed part is already thick. Once I was...

Hii! I'd like to have your opinion about something. I've been thinking about putting my micas in oil, like before you add them to your soap, and put them in little bottles. I'm doing this because I often mis-measure my micas and after I mix it with my soap it turns out there's not enough...

Hii all! It's been a while since I posted any pics of my soap, mainly because I want to learn how to take those pretty pictures first. But looking at my photography skills, well, I'd say, don't hold your breath... I joined the soap challenge club with the holly swirl, and the gremlins found...

Hii! 2 months ago I was looking for an acrylic soap mold and came across this video: http://youtu.be/dFAk11S904A. I really liked the idea of being able to push your soap out of the mold. The mold I'm currently using is a silicon one, but lately I just can't seem to get my soaps out well. It...

Hii everyone! I wanted to share my fuzzy little friend with you. It's a camembert which I made june 7th, which means that it will be of age soon! It's already starting to feel softer in the middle. So hoping this one will be creamy on the inside. Previous one was a sad fail... Didnt get creamy...

Hii everyone! I know I've been inactive for a while now but finally found my way back to the forum. I have made a few soaps in the past months, of which I will post picture when my camera is back from reparation (stupid sand in the lens...). This soap I just had to show you so I took a pic...

Hii, I've been trying to research some more on creamsoap. I have the creamsoap book and been roaming through the yahoo creamsoap group. Everywhere there are recipes but I can't find anything on how you create your own recipe, how to find out the amount of stearic acid and glycerin. I made a...

Hii, Browsing pinterest a few days ago (my new addiction), I stumbled across this pin: http://blogsofsoap.blogspot.fr/2011/12/ ... toile.html To my opinion, it really looks awesome! But I don't have the slightest idea how you can make it, and the blog doesn't reveal much either. Maybe something...

Hii, I was wondering if you can store lye water in the fridge. Or any other type, with milk, wine, beer,... In hp or cp i wouldnt be bothered storing it, but when making whipped soap, chilled lye is wanted. It takes a few hours to chill lye water, what if for whatever reason you cant make the...

Hii, Thought I'd share this link with you: http://translate.google.com/translate?d ... cettes.asp I put it through google translate as this is a french website packed with recipes from aromazone. It is in france so it might be hard for most of you to order there but i think you can change one...

Hii, I've been wanting to make a 100% olive oil soap for a while now. Just to see if it's as great as many people claim. image.jpeg by Ileandra, on Flickr foto.JPG by Ileandra, on Flickr I used 100% olive oil, 1:1 water and coconut milk, kaolin clay, lavender eo and sodium lactate at 1.5%...

Hii, yesterday I made a 100% olive oil soap, 36% water discount, 8% SF and 1:1 ratio water with coconut milk. On youtube I saw how soft this soap can be and maker recommended sodium lactate, I had some so added it at 1.5%. It looked a bit sugar strand like and didnt dissolve well in the oils...

Well, it is my least favorite time of the year. Spider time! The time that they start crawling back in our houses. Wanna know something? I'm seriously terrified of them! I know, I know I'm a lot bigger then them, what can they do to me? Still terrified... A year ago it was that bad that I...

Hii, I've just been browsing through a great sweets making webshop and I came accross something new (looks new to me). They are called "no bake cake pop mini-molds" foto.JPG by Ileandra, on Flickr They seem interesting for making bath bombs/melts and bubble bars. Here's a tutorial for how...

Hii, I ordered some new molds a while ago, I got my order a week ago and really wanted to try it out! So I made these salt bars? Scented with FO Coconut Cooler, great scent! No fast trace and no discoloration, so happy! Made an attempt to color with this beautifull, amazing mica from tkb...

Hii, I made this one a week ago. The FO is Apple Blossom, I had a beautifull swirl in mind, I couldnt get it out of my mind. So I started soaping, melting butters, putting my cups with mica ready, I added the lye to the oils. All was going well. I added the FO, you guessed it, instant pudding...

Hii! Visiting the tkb trading webshop just made me dream about soap in beautiful colors! So I bought a whole lot of mica's and there kit for mineral make up (the import costs in my country is just ridiculous!) A while ago I saw a beautifull black soap with a golden swirl. Sadly I didnt keep the...
