i can't pull it off yet so to me this is gorgeous

That is a wonderful idea!

This seems like an overqualified Dry Mask mix to me.

If you search for Dry Masks you'll see that they are based

on clays with powdered goodies and powdered scrubbies

into the blend. An upside to the Dry Mask mix is that you can

mix with water OR honey, yogurt, milk, fruit or veg puree, juice

or any liquidish substance depending on your preferences.

Dry Masks can be thin and just a cleanser or thicker as well..

a mask.

I looove Dry mask mixes.

Here's one of my fave basic ones:

Pink Kaolin Clay 75%

powdered Coconut Milk 22%

powdered oatmeal 3%

I like adding honey, or pureed cucumbers or avocados to

mine for a facial. If just cleaning and exfoliating i add water.

Just a different outlook on it.

I agree that there are alot of fillers in the Bareminerals one.

Gorgeous!

SFIC has SFIC soap...?

I'm doing this experiment too, I've been chasing labels on all my faves in the house down and researching all the ingredients.

I've done a few of the Lush lotions and I use alot of Curel lotion previously due to sensitive skin issues and I have come up with a few lotion batches that are sooo close but better. It's very empowering to make that stuff by my own hands.

My challenge now is to contiune formulating but then make actual

large sizes of my own formulae that turns out consistently the same

each time. yay!

Good Luck!

This recipe looks alot like Coco's in

great minds think alike.

gorgeous soaps & love the names! Congrats!

I've found that CP and CPHP (crock pot hot process) have nearly identical lather after the CP has a chance to cure fully - I like to let my CP cure at least 8 weeks, and 4 weeks for HP. I have not been as impressed with the lather from oven-hot-process soap.

Hi, I agree with this. So far my CP and CPHP have lathered the same.

I confess I mostly do CPHP now.

Hi, I saw you guys chatting about the sale and just wanted to add my excitement to the mix too.

I put my order in on Saturday and i can't wait till they all get here.

I've heard really great things about their pumpkin scents and

i'm a sucker for that type. I hope I can do them justice in soaping

recipes. I did go a little overboard on the scents and ordered

way too many. *blush* I hear that one of the biggest orders

they had was a qty of 377 or something like that.

i loove smelly good stuffs.

Hello, just joined this forum nice to meet you.

I wanted to add that the Ah/Re sale is very worth the cart

difficulties and occasional timeouts. I was lucky enough to

perservere on Saturday to get my order in. The sale is just

so huge that everyone wants in. Of course they do right?!
