Jcandleattic Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Made my New Year's Bastille today. I was not going to scent it, but at the last minute put lemongrass EO in it. I'll unmold and cut in a few days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering making a Savon de Bastille instead of Jabon de Castilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Aarrrgg!! I am still busy organizing and moving furniture around. In order for me to make my biz grow I have to make more room for my soap and equipment plus storage. So I am still busy working on that and loading SM3. I may not be done until Feb. But I am so happy you two made your bastile. Did you post pics yet? I wanna see those babies!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thanks Candybee - looking forward to try the hexagons in 6 month I tried to pour some soap in a botton-mold, but it didn't work, so I rebatched that soap in a boilingbag = kind of HP hexagons,ready for use quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand its a holiday so some folks are gonna be busy or have family, etc. But we can each make our batch of "New Year's Castile" around New Year's Day, just before or during the week of, and just post about it. Sound good? Should be fun if we just post about what we did... and pics are always welcome! I'm going to Walmart today to pick up some large 101oz plastic containers of olive oil. They are only about $16 each so I will stock up. JC-- I make the same bastile. I call it Coconut Castile and use 75% OO and add coconut oil, castor, and almond oil plus coconut milk. But this New Year's eve I am going to make some of my favorite goat milk castile with 90% OO and 10% castor and goat milk. I was just never a fan of 100% olive oil castile. No matter how many months or even a year later I tried it I just never liked it. I love it with castor oil though. To me it makes a huge difference. And my coconut castile recipe is a year round favorite of my customers and I make it in 3 scents using essential oils; rosemary mint, lavender & chamomile, and lemongrass & lime. I wish one you soap gurus would do a bastille soap recipe for soap of the month ( wink -wink lol !) Im so jelly of all of your guys creations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im so jelly of all of your guys creations I did a rosemary mint castile (bastile) soap of the month. I believe it was the March 2016 SOTM thread. Check it out. Its a wonderfully mild soap that's fairly easy to make. I left complete instructions and can help you with if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
