If you live in an area with hard water, you might consider investing in a water filter. I have used a Brita with great results.

Great tutorial Elizabeth.I’ve been making CP soaps, and was put off HP because I was told the high cooking temp would damage some of the oil qualities. I want to use some additives that would probably evaporate with the gel stage in CP, so this is ideal for me. Do you know what temp [...]

This was a really cool tutorial. It’s nice to see other people’s way of doing HP. My preferred method is to set the crock pot on high. This takes the soap through other stages, that I oddly like to watch.For the person who asked, for me with the crock pot on high takes [...]
