I started using coconut oil not too long ago on my hair, and putting it into my coffee in the morning. yes, it floats on the top of the coffee, but surprisingly, it doesn't leave a greasy taste in your mouth when you drink it. My hair has never been so soft! I don't even use conditioner anymore. I just put a dab on my hands (not much, you may have to experiment) and rub it on and let it sit for a few minutes to soak in, then comb it through really well. Even blow drying my hair doesn't make it frizzy with the coconut oil on. Once a week, I put it on and let my hair dry naturally, so it can soak it all up. It makes your skin so smooth! I tried using it on my face, but I have adult acne, and it broke it out. But I did add a couple of drops to my moisturizer at night, and it didn't break me out that way. Anyway, my skin is much smoother, on my face and everywhere else I use it.

I made several more batches of soap and increased the amount of FO to a T. per lb and the soap is smelling better. I made a lavendar Oatmeal for someone and they loved it, I also made several bars of Baby Soap and it turned out great. When I reorder I will be getting from WSP. Now I am trying to refine my body butter. I like it smoother than most recipes make it. I have been experimenting with glycerin in my revised recipe. Also trying to cut down on how oily it can make your skin. My lip butters are pretty much the way I want just have to get them done (been waiting 2 wks for my flavor oils to come in from a seller on Ebay) Last but not least I am also fiddling with the bath bombs, I live in a very humid area and they have been cracking once set up. I am going to try a different recipe this weekend. I make them in medium size round ornaments. I really want them to be available for my show, I think they make a great addition to my other items. Well, sorry for the rambling but it helped me to organize my thoughts. I can't stop thinking about soap etc. Elle

Hello, I have made lye soaps in the past with coconut, Olive and other oils. If you have any recipes which encorporate several oils in the recipe, I would be super happy. It is so hard to find recipes for soap with several oils that impart a little of each good addition to a bar of soap.

The best price I've found for Charlie's Oxygen Bleach is on Vitacost - $9.99 for 2.64 lbs and they usually have additional 10-20% off coupons you can stack, but looks like they are out of stock right now. That pricing is on par (a bit less) with pure sodium percarbonate of the same size from ProSupplyOutlet, but with the bulk stuff you can buy more to get a much lower cost per pound if you go through a lot. There is no activator (I think only Dropps 4-in-1 packs contain an activator, I have those too but very much prefer a powder), it's 85% or more sodium percarbonate, 2-12% sodium carbonate and less than 2.5% disodium metasilicate per the MSDS.
