siberia Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 A great resource for cream soaps is the CreamSoap group on Yahoo groups. You can join the group and then look in the files section. The instructions for the last online class are there under "Pumpkin Cream Soap step by step". Lots of pics too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teercreations Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Another resource is cream soap making by Catherine Failor. Most swear by this book and I particularly love a few of the recipes in it. You can search and see some of my pictures of the cream soap I made a little bit ago in the B&B Gallery. What problems are you having with the soap to be exact?Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Have you guys found that this stuff goes rancid pretty quick? The few I have tried seemed to not have much more than a one month shelf life, then it started to stink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindym Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Cream Soapmaking is a craft of its own. I want to try sometime when I have a spare 5 days LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbtddr Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 i had a four day weekend. thought i would go for it. but it is like really thick clay or more like taffy it even stretches.i tried adding oil and water to one batch it ended up being liquid soap. the next batch i guess i added to much water it separated.thought it would be like face cream. but it did not work for me. i will try another recipe this weekend.maybe it will turn out better.does any one no what it should feel like.

Cream soap is a strange animal with a mind of its own. I have some that thins out when its cold, thickens right back when warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teercreations Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 gene I have some also that thins in cold and thickens in heat also....I have never had a batch go rancid. Must be the oils or something that you used or the person used. I have some from a year ago still that is great stuff for shaving my legs. I make a batch about every 2 months/usually sell half and then keep the rest for myself! This stuff is great makeup remover that does not leave your skin dry and tight. Just have to have patience with the stuff and lots of time. I let my last batch sit there and (rot) for 3 weeks before I remembered that I needed to whip it up and add the silk/and extra aloe. That batch was a dream.....need to get that recipe out and try it again see if I can duplicate it. Don't worry you'll get it with lots of patience though!Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grannyscandles Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I am trying their recipe today. We shall see!Edited to add:Oh my gosh this stuff is freakin' gorgeous!
