Hi, I'm new to the world of soap making and actually i'm trying to make shampoo bars instead of soap. Now, from the research I have so far done, there are only two ways to make your shampoo thick and "shampoo-like": 1/ by using lye to saponify, or 2/ by using glycerin based soap bases. Is this correct? I made a shampoo by boiling some herbs in water, but of course it is watery, and I want it to thicken up like regular shampoo. Please could you suggest the best way of turning a watery shampoo into one that doesnt pour down your face? Either thickening the water mixture or turning it into a bar.
I made this soap yesterday and I LOVE how it makes my skin feel! Question: Since this is a moisturizing soap, should I still use a facial moisturiizer?
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I can’t wait to try it! 😊
Nice soap mold. The soap came out beautifully

It was really helpful
What was the powder?
I think that the powder is colorant in powder form
Mica is the color powder
Thank you! This was very helpful !

I’ve only used Goat Milk soap before. Is the Shea Butter soap base just as lathering? Thx…
I use Shea Butter soap base and it lathers great!
What were the extra ingredients used??
What was the powder you added?
Colorant in powder form
What was the reason for the beeswax? 🤷🏿
Hardens the bar and it’s a natural moisture barrier to lock moisture into skin
