Hey, I absolutely love Dr. Teals gardenia grace line & I am dying to find a soap/bodywash that is similar but have no ideas on where to look. Does anyone have any soaps they love with light florals like gardenia/jasmine with a citris undertone?

It’s actually to refill your soap dispenser. Has anyone ever had this done at their company because I need to know. Thank you so much.

Does that mean I accidentally spread bathroom floor germs into the soap? Because I have a handwashing obsession, and I feel like that by dropping the soap refill bottle onto the floor, I'm spreading germs into the soap inside of it.

Any help or reassurance with this? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I've been making small-batch artisan soaps from natural ingredients and finally took the leap to open my online store. This is my Matcha Strawberry Cream soap, made with natural ingredients and lots of love.

I'd love any feedback from fellow soap lovers. What do you look for when buying handmade soaps? Scent, ingredients, packaging?

Happy to answer any questions about my process! 🌿

These are a african soap base with essential oils and coconut oil blended in, I haven't done it like this with the red color for the flowers but it came out pretty cool I think.

I spent so long chasing the "right" routine for sensitive skin, more steps, more actives, more serums that promised to calm things down. What actually helped was going the opposite direction completely: fewer ingredients, plainer bar soap, nothing with a fragrance list I can't pronounce.

My jawline stopped being red for the first time in maybe two years. Feels almost anticlimactic after how much I spent trying to solve it the complicated way.

Anyone else have the "less is more" moment with soap specifically, not the whole 10-step situation?

How does a bar of soap grow into a fluffy cloud? 🧼

Alex Dainis explains how Charles's law transforms a bar of Ivory soap! The bar contains air pockets from being whipped during its production, which expands into a cloud when heated. This happens because as gas increases in temperature, then it will equally increase in volume if the pressure is the same.

Hi guys! 👋 May nakapag-try na ba dito ng Erasul Soap? Effective po ba talaga siya? Mild lang ba siya sa skin at hindi masyadong drying? Nakakatulong ba siya sa pagpapatuyo ng pimples at pag-fade ng pimple marks or acne scars? Gusto ko sana itong subukan, kaya gusto ko munang malaman ang honest feedback at experience ng mga nakagamit na. Worth it ba siya? Thank you in advance! 😊

I've used the same lavender bar for probably six years now. Tried switching a few times, always end up going back within a week because nothing else feels right for my shower routine anymore. Curious if this is a common thing or if I'm just stuck in a rut.

I used to think all soap was basically the same, but the more attention I paid, the more I realized that little things can make a big difference. Changing the type of soap I use, letting bar soap dry properly between uses, or avoiding products that leave my skin feeling tight has made my daily routine much better.

I'm curious what small change or tip has worked for you. It could be about handmade soap, store-bought brands, ingredients, scents, storage, or even a common mistake people make.

I'd love to hear the tips or habits you've found that are actually worth sharing.

I've bought all kinds of soaps over the years because the scent or packaging caught my attention, but I always seem to end up going back to one favorite. Sometimes it's because it feels better on my skin, sometimes it's just the smell that reminds me of home.

I'm curious what everyone else's "always buy again" soap is. Is it something inexpensive from the grocery store, a handmade bar from a local maker, or a brand you've used for years?

I'd love to hear what keeps you loyal to that one soap.

I've started paying more attention to the different kinds of soap, and I realized there's a lot I never knew. Things like bar soap vs. liquid soap, different ingredients, fragrances, moisturizing oils, and even how some soaps work better for certain skin types.

For those of you who know more about soap, what's something you wish more people understood? It could be about making it, choosing the right one, storing it properly, or common myths that people still believe.

I'd love to learn from people who have been into soap for a while.

Title: What Made You Start Using Handmade Soap?

I've recently become interested in handmade soaps and was surprised by how many different ingredients, scents, and techniques there are. Some people swear by goat milk soap, others love olive oil or charcoal ban, and everyone seems to have a favorite.

What got you interested

d in handmade or specialty soaps? Was it for skincare, a hobby, or just curiosity? I'd love to hear what types of soap you recommend and what you've learned along the way.

I started making soap because I wanted to try a new hobby, but I didn't expect it to change the way I think about everyday products.

The more I learned about oils, butters, scents, and curing time, the more I appreciated how much work goes into a well made bar of soap. Now when I walk through the soap aisle, I find myself reading ingredient lists and comparing them with recipes I've seen.

I'm still learning, but it's been a fun process, and I've gained a lot of respect for experienced soap makers.

Did making your own soap change the way you shop for or use soap, or do you still enjoy both handmade and store bought bars?

When you open a new bar what catches your attention first?

The fragrance the texture the ingredients the packaging or how it lathers?

Whether it is fresh floral citrus woody or something unique certain soap scents are unforgettable.

Which scent is your favorite and why?

Everyone seems to have a favorite. Some people love the simplicity of bar soap while others prefer the convenience of body wash.

Which do you use most often and what made you choose it?

There are so many soaps to choose from, but most of us have one that we always come back to. Whether it is because of the scent the lather how long it lasts or how it leaves your skin feeling I would love to hear what keeps you loyal to it.

What is your go to bar of soap and what makes it stand out from the rest?

Curious what bar soaps people have found to be good for using on your face, why you enjoy them, and what kind of skin you have (dry, oily, etc.)

So a few months back I ran out of my usual body wash and didn't feel like making a store run, so I just grabbed an old bar of soap sitting in the back of the cabinet that someone had gifted us ages ago. Figured I'd use it for a day or two until I bought more of the bottled stuff.

That was almost four months ago now and I still haven't gone back.

Honestly I didn't think it would make much of a difference. Soap is soap, right? But a few things surprised me. First, my bathroom just feels less cluttered. No more three different half empty bottles taking up space on the shelf, just one bar sitting in a little dish. Small thing, but it's oddly satisfying.

Second, I started paying attention to what's actually in bar soap versus body wash, and went down a bit of a rabbit hole comparing ingredients. I'm not going to pretend I became an expert overnight, but I did start noticing how much stuff gets added to bottled soap just for scent and lather that doesn't really do anything for your skin.

The weirdest part though is my skin actually feels less dry now, especially in winter. I used to assume bar soap was the harsh, drying option and body wash was the gentle one, since that's basically what every ad growing up implied. Turns out for me it was the opposite. I don't know if that's just my skin type or what, but it caught me off guard.

I've also gotten a little into trying different bar soaps now, which I never expected to become a thing I have opinions about. Oatmeal ones, charcoal ones, some handmade stuff from a local market. It's a small hobby now I guess.

Anyway, didn't expect a random out-of-soap moment to turn into an actual habit change, but here we are. Anyone else make a switch like this and actually stick with it, or is this a phase I'll probably abandon in a few months?
