hahaha my boss just asked me what this is, now they are all looking at your soap and oooooing and ahhhhhhing . I thought I was going to get in trouble but instead I think you're going to get some orders hahaha!
I use a basic recipe that I got off a site years ago but I love it. It's not fancy or as cool as yours but I have done some pretty nice designs with it and this formula always seems to work for me:
8 oz coconut oil 15 oz olive oil 11 oz palm oil
.5 oz avocado oil 4.8 oz lye 11.2 oz water
I'll share some pics some time but thought I'd post the recipe for anyone just starting out because this one is super easy. I didn't know anything about soap making when I started and this one always works for me. Of course you can add color and scent and design how you want.
DeShawn, this is so cool that we can discuss everything here and not bog down facebook with it. It's like social media for DeShawn Marie..AWESOME! I'm with Robbin though I like vanilla in food but not bath and body.
hahaha yummmm vanilla! I love it in everything.
Yes!! I only like vanilla in baking and ice cream.
