Sometimes I think soaps are trying to scream out I'm still beautiful and this is the way I was meant to look. I add my scent to my oils before adding lye solution. Also I soap at low temps 80 or room temp.<br /><br />I also alternate between shea butter and cocoa butter all the time and find cocoa butter makes a harder bar but both feel great when showering. I mark my bottles that are high accelerators so I'm somewhat prepared.<br /><br />MichelleTwo Blooms Design Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649539169220899169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966887643137480357.post-66922798268441659332011-10-09T12:10:21.788-07:002011-10-09T12:10:21.788-07:00Nice!

Em what are the white spots?<br /><br />A touch a whisper of black act. char. might darken up the peach a bit, but only the rice size! haha<br /><br />I'm having more luck soaping cool these days with the accelerators. ARE they marked as accelerators by the company who sell the fragrances?? I'm back to insulating now also, winter and such.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02608971390857448094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966887643137480357.post-7759324607564843172011-10-08T14:52:42.442-07:002011-10-08T14:52:42.442-07:00@Celine, cost is definitely higher than my usual r...@Celine, cost is definitely higher than my usual recipes! LOL, darn cocoa butter, why do you have to be expensive?! Why can't you cost the same as Shea and mango butters?!Shieh Design Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15226775255371774677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966887643137480357.post-80646515494533015752011-10-08T05:16:59.695-07:002011-10-08T05:16:59.695-07:00I like those colours, but isn't it annoying wh...I like those colours, but isn't it annoying when the colours don't work out as you planned? But it is lovely! Has either fragrance got any spice in it? I find they go a bit mental. <br /><br />Also it'd be interesting to see how the costs stack up for each of the recipes.Celine @ iamhandmade.comhttp://www.iamhandmade.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966887643137480357.post-60502551362450465702011-10-07T13:23:38.696-07:002011-10-07T13:23:38.696-07:00@ Amy, not yet!

I usually wash my soaping equipments the day after or later. and i did noticed that the batch with cocoa butter did start to lather the second all my equipment hit the running water. The shea butter lather the least but left the most grease, and mango utter makes the softest loaf.Shieh Design Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15226775255371774677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966887643137480357.post-83738002324039110082011-10-07T13:16:21.368-07:002011-10-07T13:16:21.368-07:00So, other than trace issues, have you decided whic...So, other than trace issues, have you decided which recipe makes better soap? :)Amy Wardenhttp://www.greatcakessoapworks.com/handmade-soap-blognoreply@blogger.com
