:lol: :lol: Most definitely! Welcome to the world of soaping :D

http://www.phytoaromatics.com/ PhytoAromatics in Canada is closing and running a 40% off sale. Never used them but saw this posted elsewhere and thought I'd share. And the front page says they'd take the 40% off when you get your confirmation so you'd have to figure the percentage yourself. :)

That's funny! Ok let me change my comment to "I respectfully, unknowingly agree" :lol: :lol:

I have done it both ways, if I'm doing a batch that is one solid color, I'll go ahead and add it to the mix before it cooks. I use tradewinds select shades colors and add it straight to the mix this way, and if I'm splitting the batch and waiting until after the cook I mix the color with just a...

:lol: Naw, that wasn't too bad. But to respectfully disagree, research does no good if you are selling locally within towns of pop. 2000 and less and low incomes. I make enough to keep me in oils and that makes me happy. And I shop around enough for the lowest prices +shipping that I do make a...

Ok I may get stomped on here, but how can you possibly think about everyone involved when you price your soaps? There are different ingredients involved, varied prices of supplies, location makes a huge difference, how you package (if you package). Unless you are selling the exact same soap in...

Thank you rita! Yes it was crockpot hot process. I'm not too sure about a secret :lol: I can only tell you how I soap. All of my soaps contain at least lard, coconut, and castor. This one had Lard, coconut, castor, shea, olive and 3/4 oz jojoba added after the cook. I don't use a water...

:oops: :oops: :oops: Thank you so much everyone.

Thanks everyone! IanT, I was scared to death, I know that's silly but I knew I was going to mess it up :lol: Here's the pix for ya topcat, I know they're boring, I have got to learn how to shoot soap porn :oops:

I've superfatted with castor many times with no problems. Could it have been the cinnamon eo?

I finally got the nerve to try some GM soap and I love the way it turned out! I used 2/3 water and 1/3 frozen slushy gm milk (canned)-- added the slushy gm to the lye water when it had cooled. Added 1 tsp TD mixed with a 1/2 oz olive oil to the oils before putting in the lye mixture. Only...

Take a look here barefoot-- might give you some ideas. :) http://www.soapmakingforum.com/forum/vi ... t=salt+bar http://www.soapmakingforum.com/forum/vi ... ght=failed

I also buy mine at true value, rooto brand, but that lyeguy place looks great mamaT! Gonna have to see how much shipping is with them. Thanks :)

Natures Garden added some new scents to their 8.99 lb FO's today. http://www.naturesgardencandles.com/can ... e-Oil.html

I'm also curious to know if you can use those candy flavors from grocery stores. They have a large selection in our local Wal-Mart.

Rancid? Jojoba oil is actually a wax is it not? From what I've read it doesn't go rancid easily. http://www.soapmakingforum.com/forum/vi ... ommon+oils

When I put my cphp soap in the mold, I build it up in the middle. Plop it all in and make sure the excess is kinda moved toward the middle of the log. They still dip the littlest bit in the middle but I kinda like the look. These are a couple my color messed up on but it's all I have on...

And I'm totally opposite, I don't care for cp. And the main reason I don't is because I'm impatient as all get out! :lol: I do like the "rougher" look of hp, makes it look more homemade to me, and in my rural neighborhood (population 700) it goes over well due to the homemade look...

Sounds like a viable option to me! :lol: Thanks for your input jbarad and topcat.

That's what we were discussing here Jeremy http://www.soapmakingforum.com/forum/vi ... be8a3d7654 I think that would be your best bet until you can find out something more concrete. Good luck with it! :D
