you'll probably have to chunk it up or shred it up and cook it (wear gloves it can still have some active lye in it) When it gets to the applesauce stage and is manageable to stir put it back in the molds. when you heat it back up, it will eventually start thinning out a bit so you can re-stir everything and get everything incorporated again. You can use a crockpot to do this or a double boiler so it doesn't stick. If you did a water discount you can add a touch of water or even milk to help smooth it out, just don't add too much extra liquid or it will take a long time to cure. Hope it works out for you, I hate when this happens. Janis Rogers jansbathscents

I had the same problem and Jenny from lotion crafters said to try the fumed silica, I don't know if it is all natural but I ordered some to make my fizzing bath salts to keep them from clumping. Just got it in so haven't tried it but I believe you only need like 1% added to your mixture. Janis Rogers jansbathscents

yup, their herbs are very nice, I always get their lavender and peppermint. They ship fast also. Janis Rogers jansbathscents

I soaped my scent from RA, held nice and only discolored a tiny bit, soaped it at .50 oz. ppo. I will definitely order it, I liked it very much. I haven't smelled the real thing though. Janis Rogers jansbathscents

you can put a bit in a lotion, mix it in with the water. If you use too much it will cause a slight drag but it is really rich, it's nice with Mango butter and then a light oil. Janis Rogers jansbathscents I only made it once but it was nice, it does turn the lotion grey but it is kinda cool.

I use BCN as well and really like it, I have also been using some from Lezlee at Simply Soothing, hers is really nice as well and she'll customize a base for you as well, she is making me a Dead Sea Brine lotion and a DSM cream as we speak both are really nice. Janis Rogers jansbathscents

Another vote for avocado also, yum and also sweet almond and I use Babassu in all mine as well. Janis Rogers jansbathscents
