Love, love, love your soaps. Music leaves much to be desired with the same few notes over and over again. Had to turn sound off

[@Nourishinghandmadebodycare]

Thank you, Emily! I just used the free music that came with iMovie. I'll look into getting better music.

Thank you!!

[@vincentvangogh5385]

Please, how do you make to maintain the fluid mixture so for a long time? Mine thickens before the end although the temperature of the mixture was realized around 32 °C and the fragrances were incorporated as late as possible. Thank you in advance a French admirer

[@Nourishinghandmadebodycare]

Cher Vincent, Try this recipe: 50% lard, 25% olive oil, 25% coconut oil. (Use a lye calculator to figure the correct amounts of each ingredient.) If this doesn't stay fluid for you, I would suspect that your fragrance is causing acceleration. Consider using essential oils or a different fragrance. Hope this helps!

Hi there! Love the soap! Simply gorgeous! May I ask what you used to line your mold with?

[@Nourishinghandmadebodycare]

Thank you! Sure, I used the plastic dividers that came with the mold and then Glad Press and Seal. www.amazon.com/Glad-Pressn-Seal-Plastic-Food/dp/B0080IQPQW/ref=asc_df_B0080IQPQW/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198085753806&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=170390373339968053&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028746&hvtargid=pla-319275998520&psc=1

[@ttopcar]

Mahoney Limited - Nourishing Handmade Body Care Oh my goodness! I haven’t heard of press n seal in ages!! Lol Ok that makes sense now. I’ve seen quite a few soapers using some sort of plastic to seal their mold up in. That must be what they’re using. Is there a particular reason as to why you use dividers for this batch? Did you also use the bottom piece as well? Thank you for your patience and sharing with me 😊

[@PumpernickelCoconut]

What supplier and color did you use for the gold mica? I read the blog post but didn't see it there- wonderful by the way!

[@Nourishinghandmadebodycare]

I think I got it from Brambleberry.

[@cynthiawagner3308]

Beautiful!! What made you choose to add oat flour? I'm about to start making soaps for the first time and I've been watching a lot of videos but I've never seen anyone add that... does it make it more like marble??

[@OmneyasWISH]

It is good for the skin

[@Nourishinghandmadebodycare]

Cynthia, I add the oat flour because its soothing for the skin. It also adds light exfoliation to the bars.

[@MsCarolinarivera]

can this be done with melt and pour instead of cold process cus i know it starts to harden pretty quickly

[@Nourishinghandmadebodycare]

Carolina, I'm not sure. I haven't worked much with melt and pour. I bet you could make a similar design, though.
