    I've added kaolin into additives twice

    I believe this post is the same issue as mine, where if I scroll down the list of Additives, after the end of the list, it just keeps duplicating the list, ad infinitum. Does it have anything to do with it not being able to calculate the correct amount of water replacement, or their...

    Citric acid

    You can buy it at most stores that sell supplies for making jams, jellies, and other canned goods. Right now ppl that are "preppers", meaning that they prepare stuff for emergencies like a pandemic or a nuclear war, are canning what they've harvested from their gardens and orchards, so stores...

    My recipe glitches when I try to add a liquid.

    I'm trying to create a basic CP soap recipe for my friend who reads only Spanish. However, I'm having issues adding Aloe Juice as a replacement for water. I've never used the feature because I usually just do it in my soap notebook. But this time I want to show her how a soap calculator works so...

    Jabón de Toni

    Ésta es una receta básica de jabón de baño. Agregar el jugo de sábila incrementa un poco las burbujas, pero solamente. De allí, solo es el atractivo de viñeta.

    Lavender Bastille Soap Copy

    This copy is with added beeswax to help with longevity, I hope, because my Nanny tells me that the soap barely lasts her (a 4oz bar) a month, even though she puts it out of reach of everyone, including the shower. I know where she leaves it and I know what she means. She's stingy with her...

    Unapologetically Palm, Portion Only

    I got to the last, 5th, portion and realized I only had 536g of oils! I had, however, already measured out the lye solution (frozen rice rinse water with sugar) and it was sitting, waiting to be added. Thank goodness I hadn't apportioned the eo's yet because it's the penultimate item I do just...

    Canola Experiment No2

    Giving credit to @AAShillito, for the inspiration for this recipe as well. It may not seem like it, but it's based on his percentages. Thank you. And thanks also to @TheEfficaciousGentleman (am I not using his/her/their correct handle?) for his %s of salt and sugar he uses when he includes soft...

    Canola Experiment No1

    Not sure how to add the Aloe Vera juice as an additive, or maybe I shouldn't. So I'll do it here: I'm replacing

    Date showing on printout

    I took a photo of my printouts showing what I meant about the randomness of the fields for name and date fields. There's now an option for the date, and you can choose what shows up on your printout, but what about the recipe author's name? Will there be a consistency in the field showing that?

    Date showing on printout

    I'm wondering if it's only me, but sometimes I get a date when I print out my recipe and sometimes I don't. Also my soaping "nickname" shows up and sometimes not. I'm not persnickety really, usually, but it's somewhat annoying because I don't know if I'm going to have to make a note or not of...

    Cucumber and Rice Soap

    Taking note that I need 744. 68g of Total liquid without Citric Acid, because I'm still confused how this works when I move the button to include the CA with a liquid discount. So here goes. Printed with the Liquid Discount and I'm shown that I need to add 35g of CA (with 1% of the total of oils...

    Cocoa Bar, Modified

    I'm using rice water and instant coffee to make the liquid coffee. So last night I took 280g of the rice water, heated it for 30 secs in the microwave & dissolved 70g e/ of white sugar and citric acid. I then put the solution in the fridge. Today I'm doing the rest of the batch work. Melting the...

    Cocoa Bar, New

    I'm planning on using coffee for the lye solution, so I'm dissolving 70g citric acid (2% total fats) in 140g of the hot liquid before adding the lye. I'll also try to dissolve the same amount of white sugar in it, if I can, at the same time. If not, I'll take 70g of coffee until it does dissolve...

    Los Nieto As Made

    I divided this batch into 4 x the 4 actively participating in my workshop at the Nieto house where I was visiting with my grandson Gabriel. We did 4 lye batches: 2 rice water, 1 cucumber & sugar water, and potato peels liquefied and the water allowed to settle then poured off. All the waters...
