ShoogieScents Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 How many recipes do you generally use in your line of soap. Do you just use a basic recipe and then just change the additives and FO/EO's or do you actually use several different OIL recipes?Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Over the years I've developed a base recipe that I vary a bit. I may use different butters and always have a 10-15% of something, like avocado, safflower, peach kernel, etc but I stick to the main recipe. The percentages may vary a bit too but I use the same base oils. Not very exciting, but I found something that totally works for me.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 RIght now I have 2 that I am quite happy with! One is for my scented soaps and the other is for my goats milk soaps. I guess I do have another that is for my kitchen soaps which includes Palm.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I have a couple different recipes depending on the type of soap I am making. For my "every" day bars, I have a recipe I developed that I pretty much stick to but will sub out an occassional butter or oil for another if I am out of that particular oil or butter but the base is the same as are the percentages I use.

RobinInOR Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I've got my basic recipe and a couple of different ones that have one extra oil in them. Otherwise I just change additives - clay, silk, liquid type, herbs, powders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I have my lard soaps and my veggie soaps....that is about it. I may mix up the additives or an oil or two but they remain pretty constant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
