I DO LOVE NC! Most BEAUTIFUL place on Earth, I think. Blessings on you and your soap making adventures Dear Soul!

How long do the silicone molds last?

Dear ALL, THANKS UBER-MUCH for all your astute observations .

Information catalogued and input downloaded for future soap adventures. : )

Or,..CUPUACU Butter???

Has anyone tried KuKui? I love AVOCADO oil and pulp in my soap!

WOULD ADDING GLYCERIN M&P SOAP BASE TO MY HOT PROCESS SOAPS-(oops! sorry for the caps)-

allow more translucence in my soaps? I wonder? Anyone been experimenting with this??

HAVE A GREAT DAY-(that is, of course, providing you WANT to..; )

@kandlekrazy: Yes! BERGAMOT!!! A HEAVENLY SCENT.

Someone recently suggested I use a balsam fir EO as a scent men would like.  Is there such a one?

Pleased to be on this site, already have had a pressing query answered!

I am female- old enough to know better, and live atop an actual mountain

in West Virginia, where everyone around me is a retiree from somewhere else, as I also am.

I make Organic(Mostly) Hot Process soaps, but am endeavoring to learn how

to do regular Cold Process- seems easier. 

But, WHEN do you  know in COLD PROCESS that your soap is not what you want???

Must you wait 4-6 WEEKS! to find out!??? OUCH! (A worry I have.)

I also sculpt, and from these, make silicone tray molds.

{The generic designs I find online are sickly sweet, most of them, 

and the ones that aren't simply look computer generated,

rather like toys. The decent few are rather pricey, and are usually mass produced somewhere outside the US.}sigh

In any event, Soaping makes me happy.

And I am pleased to be here.

Blessings.

I am SO TIRED of making BROWN SOAPS!!! Any suggestions? Also, IF MICA is an organic substance, wouldn't the use of it for COLOR keep it within the Organic heading?
