Just out of the mold, you can tell by the crumbles, I just couldn't wait to take the picture! The embeds are CP soaps made with beer and powdered pumice. The "ocean" is a salt bar. Both scented with sea/ocean FOs from WSP.

...I thought I'd grow a soap garden. Just some fun with new molds, scents and clays.

Just poured my first 100% olive oil soap into the mold! Can't wait to use it in a year;) Sent from my SCH-I800 using Soap Making mobile app

Want to start out by saying I am not selling, but I was wondering about one of the FDA labeling regs. Without getting into labeling or advertising (I've read enough posts to know that open a whole different can of worms), I was wondering if shampoo soap, just by the fact that it's a shampoo...

Hi everyone! I'm a soap maker myself, but going to my first craft show in December to help my mom sell her candles, no soap involved. This is also her first craft event. She didn't consider this, but I think I'd be a good idea to hand out paper itemized receipts to customers. I didn't think it...

I bought this soap in late January. Soon after, I started to make my own soap and neglected this one. When I checked this soap the other day, I saw some discoloration and it smelled a bit sour. I have yet to see DOS on my own soaps, so I was wondering if this is DOS. Ingredients: Saponified...

I wanted to try scenting my CP soaps with cardamom and lemongrass. I already have lemongrass EO, but the cardamom EOs I've found are a little on the costly side. I've searched on the internet and found cardamom FOs, but the ones I've found are mixed with other scents. Does anyone know where I...

Hello all! I purchased some raw cocoa butter around Christmas for use in lotion bars, whipped body butter, and other B&B products. It worked really well, but the smell was an overpowering and sickly sweet burnt chocolate smell and I couldn't stand to use what I made. I recently started making...

I'm thinking of doing a layered soap for my next project. I've read several instructions, and some say to pour the first layer into the mold, put the mold in the fridge/freezer, then work on the second layer. My question is, after pouring the second layer on top of the first layer and...

I'm new to soap making. After I let my CP soaps cure, I test them by washing my hands with them. I find that the first time I wash my hands with a bar, my hands feel tight once they dry, but when I wash my hands with thee same bar later, no tightness and the soaps work fine. I was wondering if...

Hi everybody. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Julia and I'm new to soap making. I've made 6 batches so far and learn something new every time. I love the experimenting and using different materials. Before soap making, I made lotions, lip balms, salves and scrubs. I've been using this...

Hello! I'm pretty new to soap making and wanted some advice on a face soap recipe. I got the idea from a face mask/scrub I've been making. The SoapCalc recipe is attached. I'm thinking of rounding the lye down to 82 gm. I'm using gms because this is a small test batch. The coconut oil % may be...
