Your candles are beautiful !

Your fire starters are very cute .

Beautiful candles , well done!

very nice display , everything looks fantastic !

Good for you , what a great cause

Congratulations , that is the only way I soap .( room temperature oils and lye)

I don't think it matters if it is cp or hp .

Oh I love vanilla , I will have to keep an eye out for that one

I hope it works out for you

I would think the store owner should have asked that first , not after the product is in the store ?

Congratulations to you . That is fantastic .

This is what sodium lactate is . I understand the frustration for sure .

Love the smiles in your soap

That is beautiful soap , truly !

WoW !! that is gorgeous soap and the matching paper is a very unique touch , well done

Your soap is beautiful , I had raspberry pop turn peach colored in an ungelled soap , same batch gelled did not turn color , go figure

It looks fantastic , the marks are unusual for sure .

You could try sodium lactate at 1/2 oz PPO to help harden the soap up .

The easiest way to superfat is not to add any extra oil but to use less lye . Soapcalc's superfat is set to 5% , that means you will use 5% less lye than is needed to saponify your oils . The calculator will tell you exactly how much lye and water to use with the size of batch you want . Most of the oil added after the superfat would be eaten by the lye monster anyway . You don't run the risk of forgetting to add the oil this way either .

Good luck with your first batch

That is one beautiful soap . I love the colors .

I use anywhere from 15 to 20% .I love tallow in soap .

Have you tried lathering your hair twice .I found this with cp shampoo bars , first shampoo no lather at all .Second time , bucketfulls.

Love it !

Gorgeous soap and lovely molds.

Beautiful swirls, I love the colors.
