For my husband and I we gave ours away without asking for feedback. It was just something we liked to do and share with others (we had so much of it!). Those are the people who gave the best feedback and even asked to purchase or barter for more of bars that they especially liked. When I give...

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but here's a response based on my best guesses. :) This link has great info on creating your own recipes: http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showt ... ap-recipe!! To figure out how much liquid a mold holds, I usually grab a measuring cup, fill it up and...

Hmmm... I just got some silk cocoons and was planning to drop one into my lye solution then see how it goes from there. :)

My husband and I thought the same thing, so he made all of our molds and miter boxes. Hinges were the only thing I requested of them! I think we made for at around $25. :) Next we're looking at fabricating a tank. That slider you've got is pretty ingenious!

That's what I use any leftover bath bomb material for. I put it in a plastic container and take as much as I like out and scent it with EO before tossing it in my tub at home. I also leave it loose for client footbaths at work. They seem to really like the fizzing action as the scent of EO...

Oooh, I just asked the honey producer at my local farmer's market about getting some beeswax. They said they don't bring it to the market because of the heat and it doesn't move as much as the honey. I want it to make balms and salves and started looking at doing wax tarts and possibly cutting...

I just grabbed a tub of lard at wally world the other day to try making a batch of no shred laundry soap I found on another forum. It got great reviews, so I'm eager to have a go with it. I also want to try it out in scrubby gardener's / mechanics bar as well. We got some M&P colors at a...

I've made both. Only had one go with HP and would like to try it again. My husband on the other hand is great at it. His first batch came out looking nearly as rough as mine did, but since then he's been able to swirl with no problems and you'd never know they were HP next to our CP bars...

Yep! This is one of my favorite resources whenever I'm researching something for soaping. :)

Like FOhoarder, I've always been crafty whether it was making gift baskets, crocheting and making bath & body products for personal use or gifts. I'd purchase handcrafted soaps but often found myself unsatisfied with certain aspects of it, usually how long it lasted vs the amount I paid for it...

I tried it yesterday for my shower using a muslin bag. Mixed together colloidal oatmeal, herbs and ACV in a ramekin, spooned it into the bag, pulled the ties snug and went off to scrub! I didn't use any soap in the shower or moisturizer afterwards and my skin felt soft and clean...

This is an interesting thread! I'm a frequent bather and like to add a variety of things to the tub. Mainly epsom and magnesium salts, colloidal oatmeal, powdered herbs and some EOs. I use ACV as a hair rinse so recently started adding a splash to the tub and I loved the results! I...
