CareBear Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I made 4 batches at the same time:-goat milk (powdered) added to oils - it got grainy so I'm not counting that one-coconut milk - added at trace, for half the liquid-aloe juice from the bottle - added the lye to this, replaced all the water.-regular batch with just water(Used Darwin's recipe for all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I would love to be a tester for you if there is still any spots open. Gonna pm ya now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 I have room for a few more people I think. I'll probably ship them in a week or even 2 (have to check exactly when I made them) cause I want them to be at least 3 weeks old, pref 4, when you use them.Thanks everyone. Thinking of running a swap at some point where we ALL use the same basic recipe (no color, no FO) and just vary one item or thing, so we can look at: gel vs non, different ways to incorporate goats milk maybe, impact of titanium dioxide on feel, whatever interests you! Sound interesting? I know they've been done but I'd like to get my hands on some variations myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 OK, got them packaged up. These soapies are only 3 weeks old so please take them out of the baggies when you get them and let them air out.Everyone is getting coconut milk, aloe juice and control. If you asked for the grainy goats milk or the 100% shea please let me know (I cleaned out my in-box, oops).This is who I have. If I dropped someone by accident please let me know. I also have room for a couple more.BrandyanneLorriecrypticmagsglassbeloved - also getting the grainy GMLivelovebathmystical_angel1219CandleFreaksmokymountainraineTo review, please COMPARE TO THE CONTROL AND TO EACH OTHER. That is why I made a control batch with just water - no other difference between the batches. The usual stuff like lather, skinfeel, etc.Thanks for testing!

CareBear Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 excellent - and think about joining our "soaping options" swap to try out things for yourself!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I got my package today. Since they are pretty fresh for CP, I am going to set them out for a week or so before I use them. I have VERY sensitive skin- so please bear with me.I will report back to you on the 100% shea, as soon as I can find it again amongst all these dang swap boxes. Oh laaaaaawd!!

CareBear Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Oh yes, please DO take them out of the baggies and let them cure at least a week if you can bear to. I'm in no rush for reports, and know that besides being easier on the skin sometimes, curing def. impacts the lather.Good luck findingthe shea!
