prairieannie Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hooray! They look wonderful too! I love plain soap, and I can imagine that they smell delicious! Before you know it you'll be adding all kinds of stuff to your MP soaps and who knows what's next? LOLCongrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Thanks, yes they are plain. I don't want to work with lye because I can be an airhead. Better stick with M&P. LOL!I thought if I used my mousepad as the backdrop my soaps wouldn't bore everyone to death. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look exactly like yours, except I cut them with a crinkle cutter I like the no dye look. Always have. Occasionally I will add a bit of natural colorant, but for the most part not!

I heard they can sweat.I don't want dye and wish my customers didn't want it in their candles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wonderful scent! I washed my hands with one this morning. Very lathery and nice!! I still have to see if it makes my skin feel tight after I shower.

prairieannie Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I use SFIC bases now. Not my ultimate favorite, but it's a close second. I've had to take shipping costs into consideration since I sell a lot of my soap. I'd say 75% of my soaps are made using no color. The only discoloration I get is if a FO is a bit more yellow than normal, or an additive I use discolors from the creamy white. Otherwise, they all look just like yours as far as color.

ForHisGlory Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thanks! It was fun. I'm so glad we have a Melt and Pour section. I certainly didn't want to put that next to SoapFreak, GrumpyGirl, Scented and other's soaps in the Soap Gallery. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapymomma Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 If you haven't already, you might want to wrap them in plastic wrap to protect them from drawing in moisture and sweating. CP soaps can be left open, but M & P might get moist if you don't protect it.Just a suggestion,Soapymomma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did study that it could be a problem and I live in a very humid area being on the coast. Currently, I only poured 2 lbs and haven't reordered as I'm deciding on a different base than the one I used, they are in a glass jar in the bathroom. No sweating.
