    Non-Soap Shampoo Bar

    I recently bought a shampoo Bar on vacation, and I actually really like it, but it doesn't appear to actually be soap. It looks like it was molded in two halfs and squeezed together like a bath bomb. All though it feels like soap. Has anyone made these? The Ingredients were: Sodium coco...

    So I haven't made the plunge to make my own Liquid soap yet. I bought a base from Wholesale Supplies. It is a little too thick for the foamer tops, which according to questions on their website this is a problem. So here is my question, if I add distilled water to the base + preservative, do...

    WSP Sun & Sand

    I make a lot of candles with this fragrance, and a co worker asked if I could make soap with it. Has anyone used it in CP? Just wondering how it behaves and if it retains the awesome smell it has in candles.

    Substitue for Cera Bellina wax

    Scales for small amounts

    My scale works great for heavier items, but I have had a hard time with making small amounts of lip balm, etc. I calibrate it with a a 5 gram nickel and it is perfect everytime, but when measuring out things that are under 5 grams, it does not work very well. What type of scale works best for...

    Soap looks Frosted

    I made a soap batch yesterday that was my standard recipe, but a new FO for me. WSP's Beach House. Everything seemed okay, I separated some off for two colors, and when I poured the White it looked not as creamy/smooth as it usually does. I have now unmolded it and it has like a...

    Soapmaker 3 Pro, a little overwhelming

    Downloaded it yesterday and I am still reading all the help topics. It's a little overwhelming. All the decisions, grams or ounces, finding specific gravity, figuring out percent of water loss, etc. :problem: I'm hoping that it will get a little easier as I get going.

    Layered CP & MP

    I wanted to a make a soap that was half CP & half MP in two layers, with the CP on the bottom. My question is do I have to wait a day to pour the MP on top or as long as I have a thick batter, can I just layer it right away?
