okieScents Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 So I had a guy come into my shop yesterday and wanted this soap. I said sure no problem. I find a recipe and last night at 10pm I make it. Very White and pretty but rock solid. 12 hours later I can barely cut it with my cutter. Had to stand on a chair to put enough force into it to cut.

Kitn Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Some oils are like that, glad you got it cut. It is a lovely white.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angielyn Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Very nice! I really like the look of it.I need to stay out of the soap forum before I'm overly tempted to try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise2456 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Pure white, looks very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseScentS Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I love Grandma's Ole Fashioned Lye soap. I buy it at my hardware store & it lasts FOREVER in my bathtub, & it clears up skin rashes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Love the whiteness of the bars. LOL at the thought of you standing on a chair to cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Love the pure white!! Is it just lard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okieScents Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 The soap is made out 100% coconut oil. I love the pure white also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Wow that is a funny image!!!! (picturing you cutting the soap) lolThe soap is nice and white, why did he want that type of soap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecold Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 OK so you have really nice products and a while ago you asked if anyone was interested in wholesaling products to you for your shop and I did reply to you. Why then did you want others product when you make your own. Did you just want to look at some pics to get ideas to use for your own business?? Anyone else respond to her ad? I know I'm probably stupid for doing so. Just wondering??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okieScents Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi icecold. I thought I would respond. I do make all my own products but when I was asking for some info on soap from others, I didn't feel like I had the time to do it. I also have a young child and wasnt sure how I would fit it in to my schedule for safety reasons. Since then I have figure out the safety issues I had and the cost was so much better for me to do it. I also like the appearence of CP soap and didnt feel like I could wait the 6 weeks it would take to build a inventory. Sorry if you feel like I was misleading, I just wasnt sure how to get stuff done with out posting inquiries first and getting ideas.

soapbuddy Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Very white! So it's 100% coconut with how much superfat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okieScents Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 I used a 5% superfat. Now, since this picture I add Vitamin E to it and my husband really loves it. I have to say that when working my car last weekend and got grease everywhere this what I turned to. I came out completely clean. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judette Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Very pretty soap, but it would be way to drying for my skin. Yes, it would be a highly cleansing soap. Does the Vitamin E really help? I would think it would get lost in the saponification process.EDT Vitamin E I understand can be used to lengthen the shelf life oils.

kyme1911 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I have heard of 100% CO soap with15-25% SF.Been wanting to try it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I just whipped up a pound of pure coconut oil soap (0% superfat) a few nights ago that I intend to use for laundry & household cleaning soap. It was mondo hard - I demolded and cut it only a few hours after the gel stage had completed. It was still slightly warmer than room temp. It was very white and opaque, too.I wonder if the heavy superfat version would be as drying to the skin? Hmmmmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmmm.....That's what I was thinking....we are alway's told how drying CO is, but I am assuming the 25% superfat changes that. It is worth a try one day...

Starr Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Sounds interesting, my mom's always on my butt that she *LOVES* handmade soap but goes through it too quickly. It's just not hard enough... *RME whatever mom. I think half of it is a ploy to keep herself in constant supply of new soaps. Anyway... any ideas on how this would work with babaseu instead of coconut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbuddy Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I have heard of 100% CO soap with15-25% SF.Been wanting to try it...Try 100% coconut with 20% superfat. It's actually a very nice soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Try 100% coconut with 20% superfat. It's actually a very nice soap.Thanks that is good to know! I am going to try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylover1 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 The color leads me to believe the soap is pure and calming. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okieScents Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 My husband loves it, and it makes nice fluffy bubblies. I have learned to unmold 3-4 hours later. I also use it in my laundry soap and works great, oh and as a stain remover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Look great! Love the pure white color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
