I infused Orange Peel Powder just last week; tried to strain it through a coffee filter and it would not strain, so I ended up putting it the soap. It did color the oil; a light orange/yellow color. Robin

I used Charlie's Soap (from Mayoden, NC) and Sun Oxygen -- similar to Oxicllean but better. Never had a problem with getting them clean. Robin in NC

I'm in the Statesville area!!!!! Love the NC mtns!

Thanks...that's what I thought. I think I forgot to add 2 oz of Castor Oil to the recipe. I don't think it is salvageable. I made the exact same recipe today without the EOs in it to see if the recipe is bad.......I'll know when I unmold it tomorrow! Thanks for your help!

I've searched and searched and cannot find the answer to this question? When rebatching a botched batch of CP soap (made yesterday) -- do you have to cover and insulate the mold? Thanks, Robin

Thank you!

Liquid zapped? Not sure what you mean. This is only my 6th or 7th attempt at CP and honestly, I've had some DOB, but nothing like this before. The common ingredient in both batches is Brambleberry's Orange 10x EO. I use the recommended amt. I did put Plastic Wrap over the top of the...

What would cause this???? I put the soap in the oven after I saw this, without the top of the mold, at 170 degrees F to try and dry up the moisture on the top of the bars. The silicone liner is from Essential Depot; hubby made the molds. Each of the three soaps I made that day were put in...

Thanks! I took the EO that I wanted to be stronger, and measured a little over .50 on that, then added the three additional EOs, one at a time, until I got to the 1.08 oz for the amount of oils I had in my batch. The last three EO's were approx. .18 oz each. It's still sitting in the other...

I'm making a blend of four EO's. My recipe calls for 36 oz of oils/butters. When using the EO/Fragrance calculator -- I have to enter each EO separately -- do I use the amount of EACH EO per the calculator. for instance, for Citronella, it calls for .63 oz for 36 oz of oils. Do I use the...

I just made this kit over the weekend -- first time making soap! I also made another batch using the same recipe but measuring by hand -- put in a round PVC mold -- but since this was my very first batch of soap, I let it trace too much and it was thick like pudding. Now waiting 4 weeks to...
