I have to disagree with a couple of these. When superfatting, you need to take in account what oils you are using to determin what level you are going to use. Olive oil is so mild and moisturizing that I usually only use a 5% superfat. My basic recipe I use 8% superfat and when I make an all...

Soap that overheats too much can seperate. Or it can even climb out of the mold and look all funky or crack. How much insulation depends on a couple of things. What molds are you using? Wood is a very good insulator, cardbord and plastic are not. If you have a wood mold, most of the time...

Well, Hello again! LOL I never made the connection that you were the same person! It is so much easier to have the same username at all places isn't it. If you want patchouli eo, now is the time to get some because prices have dropped in like half the last 2 months. If you are looking at a...

Hmm, somebody did not list all their ingredients when they sold that to you. You can not just mix Olive Oil, Aloe and Glycerin and magically have soap! But, I would bet money that it is MP, which means that if you wanted, you could make that soap, you would just have to buy the same base.

I would not use it for soap, period. But you don't have to toss it. How about you make popouri(I know that is spelled wrong, too tired to fix it) and scent it with that? Or if you can get it locally, crushed corncob makes great air freshener, just pour the frarance over and let it soak in...

If it is clear, then it is most likely and melt and pour pour. Do you have the ingredients for it? You can make transparent soap with the CP method, but when I hear that a soap is clear, 99% of the time it MP. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I think that Brambleberry has an Olive...

Unless you know what exactly is in the oil, I would not use it. Better safe than sorry. I would contact the manufaturer, they are the only ones who can tell you for sure what is in there. You should always make sure that you use pure essential or fragrance oils when making soap. And never...

I have made soap with aloe juice before. I just sub it for all the water in the recipe. Me personally, I did not notice that big of a difference of soap made with aloe and that made with just plain water. But, I think everyone should try it our for themselves and see what they like! Just be...

Look at your local Ace Hardware for Rooto brand drain cleaner. As long as it is the one says 100% lye or sodium hydroxide, then it's ok to use for soap. Also, Lowes and even Tractor Supply Company carry Roebic Drain Cleaner that is also 100% lye, but I will say that the prices have gone WAY...
