Zing's Apprentice

[Sting]

Hello kind soapmakers,
I am the son of soap making icon "Zing". Here to carry on the baton and one day achieve soap mastery.
My friends and family have had their lives utterly transformed by the godsend of Zing's exceptional homemade soap and lotion bars.
My aim is to incorporate products from my beehives (honey, wax, propolis) into homemade skincare items.
First two batches have been a success thanks to Zing
Looking forward to learning from all of you
-Sting

Your soaps look awesome! What percentage of beeswax did you use, if I may ask? I'm curious as someone who also got into soaping with the intent to incorporate beeswax!

Welcome, @Sting ! We can't wait till you share of all your Da's most embarrassing moments with us. C'mon, spill it!

Seriously, if you are half as fun as your Pa, it's gonna be great to have you here.

Hi Sting of Zing! Really nice to have you here. If you're half as funny as your dad then you'll be a welcome addition to the team, let alone all the soap making and lotion making advice.

3% beeswax! Thanks for asking, I encourage you to buy directly from a beekeeper if you can (if you don't have your own hives). Then you can ask questions about pesticides and herbicides residue in the beeswax, whereas you can't really know much about the quality of beeswax sold in stores.
