traok Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Me and my wife would like to thank all of you guys for the advice and support this community freely gives out. we finally have found two hobbies where we have some common ground in interest and skill level (zero lol). (Amazing considering we are on year 10 of marriage)At any rate we made our first two batches of melt and pour soap .The first aptly named by our son as dinosaur eggs16oz Goats milk1TBS Honey1 tsp lemon zest.5tsp Coconut Oil1 tsp Vit E .5 tsp Glycerin.5 oz Lemongrass and sage FO (LS)The second16 oz Goats Milk Base1 tbs Goats Milk1/2 tsp Glycerin1Tsp Castor Oil.25oz Mac Apple (LS).25oz Pumpkin Picking (LS)Sprinkled bottom with Cinnamon**Ohhh Im sure you can see the bit of silver on the soap? I assume this is the anti stick coating on the mini loaf pan we used. It wipes right offThe first was a bit harder than we thought Any ideas on how to "Soften" this up ?The second smelled fantastic but really firm to. I actually used it in the shower this morning. The problem was about 5 - 10 minutes after drying off my skin started to itch. No rash no anything just a bit itchy. The FO's say they are skin and soap safe anyone have this happen or have more info you need?Thanks in advance for and help and thanks for taking the time to read this lengthy postTraok Edited September 21, 2012 by traok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simply fragrant Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Could it be the ground cinnamon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traok Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 I was thinking that or the anti stick coating... Quit itching after about 10 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 The cinnamon is the first thing I thought too - have you tried one of the dinasaur eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 lol. Nothing as severe as that traok.I have the itching sensation with all M&P. Many of the surfactants and such in M&P just don't agree with my dainty as a baby skin. Which confounds DH who thinks I'm a tough aging bird. If you don't itch with the dino egg, and you do the other, it makes the cause easier to narrow down to the fragrance and/or spice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
