Thank you DeeAnna, you rock!! So, if I just do the Stearic Acid @ 2%, or use another fat to sub the stearic acid, that's considered the 'superfat'? 'Superfat' and 'Supercream' are the same thing?

Hello everyone! I have a question about the % to be used when making cream soap. I am using the soapee calculator, and Step 4 asks for the Superfat %, is it 0%, or is there a range or even an average that is used. Or, do you check the 'superfat after cook' option? I hope this made sense to...

I was wondering if anyone knew if Natures Garden had a dupe that was close to Avobath. I have never smelled Lush' Avobath, but love Fragrance Buddy's version.... TIA

Do you just whip yours together, or do you heat, chill, whip? Or some other way? TIA

Thank you so much for all your information given DeeAnna. I am a bit confused on the glycerin. Is the 30% glycerin subtracted from the lye water being used? I'm wanting to make a 'chunky' paste to use at a later date to make products such sugar scrubs and body wash etc. Would I wait to add...

Those are so beautiful!!

I've been reading a little about this after having received that email from rustic escentuals, and started googling. The plant they're referring to is located in Germany (from what I've read), and the accident occurred in November 2017. There was a fatal accident back in 2016, killing 3. Sounds...

Nice colors; what did you use to try your edges?

Thanks, that makes perfect sense.

If adding 2% sodium lactate, which ingredient would you subtract that 2%?

Is there a particular type of mold that's needed? TIA

Hi IrishLass! I was wondering if you use both planer measurements. I have seen some with 1/16" or some with 1/8" (I think those are the measurements of the blades), but not 2 blades like you one you've referenced. Thank you!

Just an idea, but if it's 'pourable' you could put the salve in a disposable piping bag. Also there's an item that Wilton makes for about $10 for distributing cake icing. If this isn't what you were wanting to do, I apologize for the suggestion.

Oh my, yes that helped so much! I will be purchasing one of those for sure!!

I must need a course in beveling... lol I bought one from Etsy and am not impressed at all. How do you get the ends 'rounded'? Irish Lass, would you show one of your soaps beveled with the item you use please.

Thanks! I was thinking that's an awful lot of money, and for it, it should be packed with information. I think I'll skip it an use my money for ingredients. Plus, there is alot of information here, and I also enjoy watch the soaping 101 videos. Thank you again!

bumping this post to see if anyone subscribes to this magazine. It's not free anymore from what I can see. I am wondering if it's worth $60/year for 6 issues (hard copy)/$30/year online pdf form.

I did the exact same thing with BB and WSP. I live in Georgia, and BB turned out to be in the running, with less than $5 more than WSP (includes shipping charges). I agree with considering customer service when looking at prices. When it comes to having a problem or question and needing...

I hope I'm allowed to post this; if not, please excuse and remove. I searched but couldn't find anything either. Does anyone belong to this Greener Life Club? I was wondering if it was worth the $5/month fee? Thank you in advance.

Did you dry them first? I got to thinking, and I had dried some rose petals a few years back, and just made sure they were covered after dried. I used them a few months after I dried them. I wonder if they'd even need to be frozen, as long as you'd seal them up to keep the smell (after dried...
