    Glad I don't sell, I don't want no liability law suits showing up, but legally can I trade and say what the properties I. The soap are if I'm doing a barter?

    Spring Craft Fair_ Keep my Mouth Shut Nope

    I think you might be able to say, it is said that in the 1900s people used the ingredients in this soap to cure skin sores. You are putting the owners on the purchaser and its up to them to make a decision and do their research. It's pretty lax where I live, an isolated community of 12,000 and...

    Salve question

    I did the dandelion salve, I infused my dandelions in olive oil in my machine first, added beeswax and essential oils and it set up nicely

    Lye Burn in Mouth... yup, seriously

    I would try rubbing coconut cream on it, ouch. Reminds me of when I got oven cleaner in my eye, I phoned the hospital and said don't worry about it, five minutes later they called back and made me come in, flushed my eye for three hours...the eyeball is sort of eaten away now.

    Coffee Soap

    Beautiful, I did a coffee soap with coffee and a n infused coffee oil, smells lovely, a light brown though, not so dark. I love the cut. My hubby made my soap box , so the soap is poured in with wood I between each soap and the top face up, no need to cut but makes it hard to be creative!

    Getting Benefits of ingredients in soap?

    Did a quick check in my botanical book and daffodils cause extreme vomiting and attacks the central nervous system. Like any herb one uses, they must do their research and use in moderation.

    Getting Benefits of ingredients in soap?

    Daffodils toxic Interesting you should mention that daffodils are poisonous, I just saw a recipe online for making a daffodil salve. My first thought, since my son brings me all sorts of flowers home from the garden shop that he works in, was not to use them. Thanks for mentioning it although I...
