There was a study I read at work that showed when people washed their hands PROPERLY with soap , it got rid of more germs and bacteria than hand sanitizer.

Another good reason to use handmade soap:)

I have done that , it all worked out fine , it will still be great soap

Darn it , I though you were onto something wonderful there , sorry it didn't morph back to green for you .

Thank you all for your kind words

The lotion bars are unscented per request .I found some silver heart boxes to pop them in at a dollar store 3/$1.00 .

The sewing machine is a featherweight .

The flowers weigh 3.5 oz they aren't as big as they appear .

I believe she said that her oils were room temp and that her lye was HOT. It is sometimes called room temp soaping (RTCP, to be precise).

Unfortunately there is another method called the same thing, where oils and lye are each prepared and allowed to cool to room temp before soaping.

Gotta love us! Lovers of both insist on calling it room temp soaping - neither will give it up LOL.

Oops missed the hot lye , I call my version room temp because both vital ingredients are room temp lol .I know people that melt the oils with the lye call it room temp too , who is right and will we ever know the answer to that question lol.

If it stays true red , that will be incredible , the unobtainable color pretty much .I can't wait to hear if it stays red . I know you wanted green

I think it is cute , I am all for handmade saving money packaging .

Your soap sounds wonderful . 4 weeks is the minimum time . I let mine cure 6 weeks , there is a difference imho between 4 & 6 week old soap.

Your soap looks fantastic .It does look like it overheated . Sometimes you can push the cracked areas back together .

It is easy isn't it . You are showing the classic signs of soap making addiction It is a good thing and there is no known cure !

Your soap looks fabulous , way to go
