Thanks for the info, and the time frames, I appreciate that.

I wanted to try piping onto some individual bars that have been set and cut. Has anyone had problems with the piping adhering to the soap?

Hi, can anyone advise on how much rosehip seed oil is acceptable to use in cp soap? I see for primrose is about 6% max, but I was unable to find a min/max for rosehip seed oil. Thanks

I was planning on making a face cream and was wanting to use both the carrot carrier oil and carrot EO. Is using both of these oils considered over kill? or is it best to use one over the other. I'm looking to make a cream that would be great for keeping the skin young and believe these and a...

Thanks, I will double check that, I was looking to do a 50/50 with coconut/lard or maybe all coconut, just wanting to make use of stuff sitting around and eliminate waste.

Is the Tenderflake the same lard that can be used for laundry soap? I bought this and then thought I made a mistake, its been sitting for a while now.

yes, but what I find weird, is that this is the same recipe I've used for over a year and the same fragrance and EO I've used many times, with no clouding at all. This is what I find strange, I've had crystal clear soap. Therefore I attributed to an error on my part somewhere. I wanted to know...

Will a a finished batch turn cloudy or milky if you add fragrance or EO to the liquid stock while it is only warm? (still heating up)? I have had a couple batches not turn out, at first I thought it was my error with measuring, (i tried again) then I thought my sulfinated castor oil was bad...

Ok, so I made some lotion, this I ran it through Soap-making calculator this batch was even thicker than my last batch of thick lotion, and I'm almost scared it won't pump through the pump bottle. So... is it possible to reheat the lotion and add more water, to just loosen it up just a tid bit...

ok... I could not determine which was more popular of the two, I know peppermint is a bit strong and u need to be careful as it can irritate the skin, I just wasn't sure about spearmint, definitely something to think about too, I have not added any EO yet

Thank you for your assistance I will give that a try

Hi I am having problems determining what is a good ratio for Rosemary EO and Peppermint EO combo (my sensor not as sharp on EO blends) I'd like to add it to a liquid soap, can any give a suggestion IE: 1part Rosemary to 2parts Peppermint or Spearmint /// would it be equal parts for both?? etc...

A salt bar is a soap that is made containing sea salt. There are varying degrees. These type of soaps are very high in coconut oil. The salt is added to match upto 100% of your oil weight. So if i made soap with 1pound of oil, I essentially could use 1pound of sea salt to add to my soap.....I...

My husband likes the thick lotion like Keri Lotion, that`s greasy too. He didn't like my other lotion I made in the past as it didn't do anything much for his skin (it was a light lotion) So this may just be perfect. I have tapioca powder, I think that`s the same thing, and I also have arrowroot...

Thank you, I will give this one a try as well, I like the all cocoa butter idea!

lol, I was just trying something new.... I`m trying to convince myself that I like making lotions. and that I will do more. This was only a 8oz batch to see what its like,.... I have used stearic acid before, as well. I have had all the ingredients to make lotions for a really long while, but...

Thanks I will give this a try!:-D

I would like to make a nice thick and rich lotion for the fall and winter. I am looking for something not too too thick like a body butter - although this follows the format of swiftcraft monkeys body butter, but I`d still like it to work with a pump bottle if possible 7% Cocoa Butter 7% Shea...

I contacted them. The word back is they made a batch with the FO and found no problem. But the FO I received was from a couple of weeks ago, so the current FO may not be of the same batch. I sent the photo, so far no word back with my last email, however, it was mentioned that they would ask...

Well I took a photo of the residue at the bottom of the container I Don't know if this is normal with fragrance. But its the only one I've seen and the only fragrance that has given me a problem, thus far. Let me know if anyone has encountered anything like this before. Thanks
