Excellent homemade gifts for family and friends. Or as gifts for the mail man, your hairdresser, etc. I know my big thing is to give holiday cookies to my mail man, my hair stylist, the girl who does my nails, etc. However, this is a good replacement for cookies! I would rather make homestyle gifts for family and friends. It is much more thoughtful and can be easier on your wallet with the price of everything going up! Jill Gross

@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes, most botanicals will change color in the soap over time due to the ph of the soap. Calendula petals work the best! Avoid lavender and rose as they will turn black and brown.

My first soap was a glycerin melt and pour... It turned out beautifully, but it was very drying even with oils added. I had an allergic reaction. It's hard to find a good quality melt and poor liquid soap. The soap base I bought had some poor ingredients, but even some of the organic ones on Amazon have poor ingredients... Suggestions?

Absolutely beautiful! I thought I read somewhere that you can't use botanicals in melt n pour soaps because they will go rancid/mold. Can you shed some light on that, please? Thanks

@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany Жыл бұрын

Hi there, thank you! You can use botanicals in mp soap. The issue with this can be not all of them work great in mp soap. Some of them just turn brown or black. Like lavender, it turns black in mp and cp soap. The flowers used here will change color a little bit but not to a brown color.

@julialapeze6470 8 ай бұрын

I"m curious, everything I have learned about melt and pour soap is that you can only use a few ingredients as additives, or they will eventually turn brown and moldy???? Don't your orange slices mold after awhile?? Thanks!

What essential oil pairings would you use for these soaps.

@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany Жыл бұрын

Hi A.B. you can use lemongrass essential oil, I would use that on on the calendula one. You can also use lemon essential oil. If you use orange essential oil on the orange slice one, it will give your soap and orange hue. Lavender is always a nice one in soap as well.

I'm mostly a cp soaper and I do dabble in m&p molding. I'm really not a lover of botanicals in soap. I don't mind a few maybe but not slices of oranges or big pieces of chamomile etc only those that may serve for exfoliation. Yes they are look great and these ones are very pretty but for function, I'm not a fan. I'd rather have m&p embeds that don't have to be picked out of my soap in order to use it. That's me though, I'm sure lots of people like them. 🤷‍♀️
