Thanks for looking.

I LOVE SOAPING!!!

Beautiful swirls, and the colors are great. All I see are blue and green also.

Question? How do you get swirls like that?

Do you swirl after it is in the mold, or in the pot?

I got some body lotion and body spray for Christmas, and it is to die for.

Smells so goooood.

How do you all get yours so creamy.

This is mine and I whipped the dickens out of it with my electric beater?

Nice- I love the colors on both, but especially that fuschia one, do you mind me asking what colorant you used for that? (it's my fav. color)

Used just a drop or two of BCN's Bright Red Gel Tones.

Thanks for the comments.

Ginger Appletini is my favorite also.

I made some foaming bath butter tonight, from a base i got from The Chemistry Store. Love this stuff.

Question?

How do you know how long to whip this with the mixer for a thicker creamier look and feel.

I made 3 different flavors and each one came out different. I had to put it back in the bowl and more base to get it to weigh out right.

Great pictures.

WOW!!! Those are pretty...........I like the salt one, very different.

Oh WoW!!! Those are pretty.

I need to get me a flat mold.

Bump for newbies!

I was hosting with WAHMShoppes, but it was so confusing to set up, that I switched to using SimplyShoppes. Lara is great to work with, and the hosting cost $15.00 per month.

Their program is very easy to learn.

No using distilled water.

It is mostly on the ends of some bars, some don't have it.

I did a tongue test, and no zap.

I did not use palm oil.

It happened on the bottom of the molded part, not the top, and i always cover with plastic wrap.

Recipe...

Pre-Creamed shortening 16 oz

Lard 12 oz

Corn oil 8 oz

Canola Oil 8 oz

Shea Butter 4 oz

Lye 6.17 , discounted at 6%

Water 12.30 oz, no discount

It feels and looks very chalky.

Anyone know what this would be/

That's pretty.

Thanks for the replies.

Can you make CP without Palm or Coconut oil?

I don't have either, but i have Lard, Pre-cremed Veg shortening, and all kinds of other oils.

Have placed an order, but with the holidays, no shipment til the 3rd.

The Patchouli log is suppose to be Blue.

The Ginger Appletini is dyed with BCN's Bright Red Gel Tone.

Vanilla stabilizer is a liquid from BCN, that is suppose to keep Vanilla fragrances from browning.

Like Pink Sugar turns brown.

You mix 50/50 with fragrance and add at trace.

This is the first time I have used it. Hope it works. Looking good so far.

If you want a nice purple, use BCN's Bright Purple Gel Tone. It works great.

Made some Patchouli for the men in my family.

used Vanilla Stabilizer just in case it wanted to brown on me.

Butt Naked fo....turning brown.

Yes they can be rebatched.

Grate them up or use a veggie peeler, and put them in a crock pot, with a teaspoons of water.

Melt real slow and stir.

When it melts and reaches the stringy stage it's ready to mold.

Thank you for the information.

How do you clean up CP soap to make it look pretty?

Mine has been beveled with a veggie peeler, but the flat sides are rough looking, and uneven.

I have a recipe for Salon-Quality Hot Wax Herbal Treatment.

1 cup quality beeswax (block or chips)

10 tablespoons sweet almond oil

8 tablespoons virgin olive oil

5 drops lavendar essential oil

3 drops chamomile essential oil

Melt beeswax in the crock pot on low heat. When melted add all the oils and stir.

This will last up to a year.
