  1. I use the one from BW.. note though that it does discolor if you are using it in B&B items.
  2. She makes AWESOME shampoo and Conditioner bars! Fast shipping and great CS!
  3. To all who did not make it.. you missed an absolutely WONDERFUL AMAZING time. Just remember, Abbie does this every year... I expect to see some of you join us next year.... same place same time.....stay tuned...
  4. Try this: 45% Lard OR Palm 45% Olive 10% Coconut 6% superfat Start simple. Make small 2-3 lb batches. Change out 1 ingredient with each batch or UP or LOWER 1 ingredient until you find what you like. Then you can start subbing out 1 oil for another depending on what you are desiring.
  5. hahahaha... next year baby... ur turn...and I'll be the spectator!
  6. The only thing I can think of it adding to CP soap is price. It's best IMHO to use in leave on products. Get the most bang for your bucks!
  7. from bugtussle's previous CoOp. Colored with 24K Gold Mica, Bamboo Charcoal, and Cyb's Sky Blue & Emerald Green.
  8. Check out the site.. I think this one is now CANDLES ONLY too..
  9. Candle making can be fun but it is also not cheap!! Sometimes it's not fun either! My version: Give up after months and months of testing and $$$ and buy what I like from friends! I do make wax melts but that is my extent with wax. I'm a soapmaker.
  10. Soaped the New Black Currant Tea. It does discolor to medium brown. Smells good though.. but I added some shreds from a Currant & acai batch that went south so the scent MAY be from them. Will post again when the cure time is up. I am hoping to soap a few more this weekend. I would like to try the HB in a salt bar although not sure how that's gonna work!
  11. You could try to freeze the mold before pouring and then pop it back in as soon as it is poured. It depends on the FO used too and any other additional ingredients.
  12. Celestial Sea is awesome in salt bars! and bath bombs.
  13. What I do when making any type of product: Wash all items needed in hot soapy water. Then i put them in a sink with hot water & bleach. Air dry. Then I spray each container and lid with 91% alcohol. Put lid on jar or bottle. Shake vigorously. Pour alcohol out and do it again with the next one. Set on paper towels upside down and let them air dry. Once air dried I cap them so they don't get dusty inside until I am ready to use them. Same goes for any/all utensils I use to make a batch of whatever I am making. HTH
  14. beer soap, beer soap and more beer soap!.. Different beers though. I have 7 different ones to soap.
  15. Carrots for beta carotene. Eggs give an almost silky type lather. Buttermilk is high in alpha hydroxys. Not sure what all survives the saponification process, but I LOVE my Buttermilk, Carrot and Egg soap for my face. Makes it feel like a baby's butt.. eta: strawberry puree could probably be used in CP, but I would think it would turn the soap some sort of tan/brown.
  16. A big batch of Body scrub with a new EO blend and hopefully if I have time some beer soaps.
  17. I do the same thing. Although I have made so much soap in the pipes that unless I change my recipe I no longer have to.
  18. It turned out awesome and became my best selling unscented soap last year.
  19. I see you already tried to save it and you may have. Another option you would have would be to shred it and add it to an high Olive batch. That way you wouldn't lose the coloring and it would be more moisturizing. If it hasn't turned out after the rebatch, shred it first. Add no color to the new batch. Add 1/2 the amt of FO. You can add up to 1/2 the amount of shreds as the base recipe you are using. So if you are making a fresh 2lb batch, you can add up to 1lb of shreds to it. HTH
