I am trying a batch tonight. I have made shampoo bars with Dark Side Vanilla Porter beer, Wheat Germ, and Bayberry FO that are my best seller so far, and have made a couple batches of salt bars with water, Red oxide, and Honey Almond FO (they smell like Cherry!). Tonight I am experimenting with...

Just made a small batch of salt bars, I am almost out of Lye. After this I will be making more, maybe light Green to use up the Christmas oxide I have. I used the oven method so was able to use one right away (after testing pH)! Recipe I used: 12.8 Coconut oil 2.4 Canola oil (it called for...

I never buy Pringles, to much salt, but went out and bought a can of them to use as a mold for shampoo bars. I was hoping it could be used more than once because I have heard you need to peel the can off to get the soap out. So I lined it with waxed paper, cut a circle for the bottom and it...

Seems like it took forever to find the prefect Christmas fragrances, but I ended up with Bayberry fo in the bottom, Cinnamon eo in the top layer, and oxides for color. Oh, and Gold Mica on top.

Thank you maiseycat! I was lucky, the first 25 or so batches all turned out (yeah, I'm addicted), until I put to much Tea Tree oil in hp shampoo bars. Woah, oil was seeping, I was blotting, yuk! A lesson learned. I saw your blog and wishlist. You have some fun soaps on you list. Be super...

My name is Dianne and I am addicted to soapmaking! I am new to SMF, and fairly new to making soap. The first cp batch I made was on 9/20/12, and 21 batches of cp, and 7 of hp shampoo bars later I still want to learn and make more. I have been making/selling natural skin care products for 7-8...
