  1. Is castor seed oil the same as castor oil? I am trying to order my ingredients and they don't have castor oil just the castor seed oil. And is Coconut Oil 76 Degree the same as Coconut oil? It is cheaper than the extra virgin coconut oil organic, but if that is what I need that is what I will get. I am sorry I have so many questions.
  2. Thank you and I will definetly take your advise. I will also use the box you mentioned.
  3. May I please have the link to this soap calculator? Thank you
  4. Could I sub the grapeseed with avocado oil?
  5. Thank you so much! I did buy a stick blender Monday at Wal Mart.
  6. I can only get one at a time (right now) and wondering which one I should get I think I may go with the slab mold, I'm not sure yet.
  7. I found this https://www.soapcrafters.com/soap_crafting_supplies/227
  8. Which mold do you think would be better (easier) or this one
  9. I am posting a picture and have some questions On my list of ingredients is this ok? Or is there something in there that I should not use? Too many different ingredients? I want to make a 5 pound batch. Do I have to figure the water in with the batch? I am sorry I know that is a dumb question but this is my first time making soap. Or should I say attempting to make soap. I also wanted to ask about the water and the lye... It says use 20 - 30 ounces of liquid. That is the water right? And that is a 10 ounce difference, how much should I use? Would anything between 20-30 be okay? I know it may set up faster if I go on the low side and use 20 but not sure what to do. On the lye chart without having any feedback I would use 10.46 in the low side of the green range, is that ok? What would you do?
  10. Her goats milk soaps smell wonderful, especially the cupcake scent http://www.avaleedesigns.com/soaps.html
  11. I read that avacado oil is good for eczema
  12. I couldn't get to your site last night but I just tried again and I got to see it. You said you are not a web designer, but you should be I think it looks awesome, is easy to navigate and is very professional looking. And you have so many wonderful things to choose from. Good luck with your business.
  13. I made bath bombs for the first time last night, I was thrilled that there are no cracks anywhere in them. I replaced 1/2 of the cornstarch with Kaolin clay. I am not thrilled with my choice of essential oils, but that's okay I will use something else that I like better next time. But there are no cracks and they are very hard.
  14. What preserative would you reccommend in a body scrub? Would you use the same one in a salt scrub and a sugar scrub? Or need a different one?
