I noticed while pining over soaping supplies that Voyageur has a 10% off everything sale until jan 16th going on, and thought I would pass it on.

I had a small bottle of cherry kernal oil dissappear on me. I have searched all over the apartment, and it is nowhere. I can only conclude the cat is holding it for ransom somewhere.

I used TD for the first time. Mine is water solube, so I mixed it in with my lye solution. I didn't get the brightness I expected from it, but I susoect since I use Olive Oil Pomace, which is dark in colour, that likely contributed. The blue is coloured with mica. I orginally intended this to be...

I found this video on youtbe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mSg-OQ5 ... r_embedded which is very similar to the tutorial we have stickied, but different enough that I thought I would post it. Also, I have to say, I love the consruction of the mold she is using. If I outgrow my current ones, I...

I got my hands on some nettle leaves, and I have read that nettle is supposed to have some really good properties for hair so I wanted to incorporate them into a shampoo bar. I decided to try infusing them in some olive oil, but I have a few questions. I know that when infusing oils when using...

So I took the plunge and made a milk soap. It is by far my favorite of all the ones I have made. I used cream with 10% milkfat, and added it at trace, discounting it from my total liquid. I tried a teeny piece because I couldn't wait, and it already felt pretty good. I think it could be...

I just tried this fragrance in a milk soap I made tonight. I bought it because there was a user review saying that although it discoloured to tan, it held well in CP with no acceleration. It's too soon to tell about discolouration, but it smells soooo good. My husband even remarked how good the...

Well, I think I may have had my first problem batch. The texture was fine until I added the FO, at which point the texture got a bit, well, it looked a lot like thin mashed potatoes. I blended it a bit longer to smooth it out, but am not sure if I should just rebatch now, because I am worried...

I have been doing a lot of reading since I found this forum. I am no where near ready to give away any of what I have made as a gift yet, but all the threads on product labelling for sale made me wonder about gifts. When I do get confident enough in my soap, and know how it holds up, etc. I will...

This is technically my second CP batch, but my first was done in a class with an instuctor at hand, so this is my first solo attempt. This is the recipe I used: 1 Olive Oil pomace 158 g 2 Cherry Kern1 Oil, p.avium 22 g 3 Castor Oil 45g 4 Palm Kernel Oil 158g 5 Shea Butter 68g Sodium...

I was looking for soapmolds online, and came across some that look like a great value, but I only found 3 public reviews of them, so I am hesitant. Here is the link to their molds http://www.candlesandwoodcrafts.com/woo ... molds.html Anyone have any experience ordering from them?

Hi Everyone! I am a new soapmaker from Alberta, Canada. I have ben curious for quite some time, and recently took a class on CP at a loal supply shop, which got me hooked! I am probably going to be lurking for awhile, I think. I have started reading through some of the threads, and there are...
