do u find when using only essential oils tht the bar smells wonderful but doesnt last once applied to the skin?? Im trying to stay away from fragrance oils but the essential oils dont smell once it suds up on skin:( any suggestions?

[soapqueentv]

@naturallychicrene If you want the scent to stick to your skin after using the soap you basically need to put too much fragrance or essential oil in your soap. Since the soap rinses away dirt and oils - it also rinses away the fragrance.

I have just watched your first 4 videos, and episode one.... I can't wait to watch the rest!! I have not made any cp soap yet.... I did make 2 lbs of melt and pour.....before I found your web sight. What a mess I made! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

@Grammerkelly Welcome to the wonderful world of soapmaking. I'm sorry your first batch didn't turn out as you had hoped, but maybe you can cut it up and embed it into another soap as confetti? There's always a way to save your soap. :)

Chocolate, root beer, and raspberry are all naturally occurring in nature.

@soapqueentv Does BrambleBerry sell those transparent mold you use? I prefer using 'see-through' molds

I would like to get a microwave that I do just soap work in. What wattage would you recommend?

[sunnymajors]

Thanks for this self reliant info. I love being able to make things at home rather than the possible harmful and toxic soaps in the stores.
