Teach Soap

I am new to melt & pour soap.
1) I want to add lanolin mixed with butters & oils to my melt and pour.
How much can I add to my soap safely? What amount to each bar or each pound?
2)I have many products left over from my lipstick making hobby and they can be used in melt & pour,lucky for me.
I have micronized titanium dioxide. How much do I use in my clear melt & pour to make it solid white?,by bar or pound.
3) Can silicon liquid or gel be used in melt and pour?
4)where can I get the cutest molds?
5)who sells the least expensive melt & pour?
Well that is all my questions for now. I will get my first supplies from bramble berry this Friday.
I can't wait. I will be making these for home use. But I want to enjoy myself and have fun.
I saw homemade soaps on the web and they were so cute. I am going to start with just plain bars
till I learn more more, then make fancy bars hopefully.
Thank you

No more than 1 TBS. per lb. of soap.

Start with a teaspoon per lb. of clear MP base.
3) Can silicon liquid or gel be used in melt and pour?
I would not add sillicone or gel. You would loose bubbles.
4)where can I get the cutest molds?
That depends what you consider "cute". BrambleBerry has lots of cute molds.
5)who sells the least expensive melt & pour?
The least expensive is not always the way to go. Some vendors sell detergent based MP base, which you might find drying. I would stick with BrambleBerry's MP base.

Thank You so much for your help. I was getting confused but now I feel more confident.
I will let you know how my first bars turn out.
Thank you for thanking the time with me.
