You’ve come to the right place. This issue is about making
products for that guy in your life or your male customers.

Even if you are not into men’s products, no worries. We
have a soup dough tutorial, information on pH in cosmetics,

Comments from some of the voters:

The different layers of color are done beautifully and really make this one a stand out! Amazing!
I thought this was a beautiful application of the Geode technique along with a complimentary technique in the base soap. Gorgeous
While all the entries were and are incredibly beautiful the treatment of the base with mica lines and "earth" layers pushed it over the edge for me into overall winner.
