Hi Peg! Thanks for the update. I see with the newest PHP/ server update the calculator has broken. I will get this fixed up hopefully today and get the bells and whistles put back together. Thanks for the update.

Make sure you are outside or in a well ventilated room. A mask is also recommended and GOOD LUCK! It is so much fun!

I think soap makers and cosmetic and bath artisans are some of the smartest people on the planet. Our talents are many and diverse. I’m just going to have a little baking fun here today.

Today I was working with some of the leftover soap to make little micellar water tabs! The idea is to have a portable refill for my black soap micellar spray bottles. This is an easy beginner project that can be made with ABS or NABS™ I will be storing these in a little tin.

Good Morning. Hope everyone is doing well. I’m working on a quick design for a cold process Christmas soap. And I want to get a lip gloss in my shop. I’m thinking a winter burgundy color for the gloss and a pink to start. So much to do. Busy Busy.

Good day! I’m making the oatmeal winter lotion, can I use all or half aloe vera juice in the recipe?
3 Comments-
The recipe calls for aloe vera juice. If you cut the aloe in half what were you thinking you would replace it with? UPdate: Regarding water and glycerin… Glycerin is fairly sticky on the skin so it wouldn’t really soak in like you want a nice silky lotion to do, right?
-
Water and glycerin?
-
Yes! You can substitute the aloe for water and vice versa, and you can add glycerin. These ingredients can be mixed to the amounts of your liking, but if I were doing this I would only add just a table spoon or two of the glycerin to the total recipe.

I am really excited to share everything I know about NABS. Lately it dawned on me that one of the truly special things about this type of black soap is that it is just like a solid body wash! Potassium based soap bars are so much fun to use both in the bath and shower!
