Teach Soap

Hi Everyone,

So I've recently started to make soap again and I've already signed up for my first craft bazaar. My soap is coming along great but I've run into a couple of problems already with bath bombs and bubble bars.

1) My bombs are turning out great then going soft the next day, I think it's due to all the rain we've been having in Toronto. My question is how do I stop this.

2) My bubble bars are turning out great then discolouring. If I use essential oils instead of fragrance, will it stop?

Just wanted to say hello to all the other soapers out there and get some help at the same time.

Happy Soaping!

I would take your time putting products out there until they are tried and true for a fews years. Wish I could help, but I stick with soap and lotion bars and never put anything out there that I have not used myself for at least a year.

I've actually been making soap since I was in university (about 8 years ago), I meant to say I'm new to soap making AGAIN as I took a break to focus on baking full time. But...I am making the bubble bars for the first time and won't be introducing them at the craft show. The softness is a new problem I'm encountering but I think it's b/c I don't live in a climate controlled home anymore.

Thanks for the advice!

If the bubble bars are discoloring, it couldbe from the fragrance used. As far as getting soft, if there is humidity where you are, that will make them either soft or start the reaction of fizzing early.
