Moonstar Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Oh my ! So so pretty ! Do you scent the castile bars or just leave ? So after a year they are not slimy - I bought a bar once + although it felt great it was slimy. Maybe its because of not curing enough ? So these just have OO - lye + water ? You are so talented. The roses IMO are a perfect touch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last Castile cured for a year and it was not slimy to me. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roses IMO are a perfect touch I know you were asking Kelly, but mine is actually a bastille. 75% OO 20% CO, 5% Castor. I don't know if it's because it's not 100% OO, or if it's because of the shower rack I use, but mine are never slimy either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have much lather either, is this typical in castile or bastille. It was very conditioning though. I used it on my grandson when he was a baby to help with his exzema, TG he's outgrown it for the most part but still suffers from sensitivity. Ive often wondered why so many babies have such skin conditions + adults too. Maybe I just don't remember but it seems as if so many have allergies now. You two make such amazing products - love looking at all of your photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I add the CO and castor in mine, to boost the lather, but it's still not a high bubbler, and it is very conditioning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shari Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Those are lovely. I too make a bastille as I just do not like castille no matter how long it's cured. I like a bit of CO and Castor in mine too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the milk gives it its creamy look. It was quite green at first and since unmolding, it's more of an off white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
