    Antibacterial soap question

    Thanks everyone for the information! I'll definitely share it with them. I'm really glad to see I have nothing to worry about with using my soap. My hands have gone from cracked and dry to soft and supple in the past 6 months since I began making soap and I wouldn't ever want a reason to have...

    Antibacterial soap question

    I just started making soap and gave a few bars to my daughter and son-in-law who are both nurses. They are concerned about using it because it's not antibacterial. They wondered how clean my handmade soap will get them if they touch raw chicken or change their son's diaper. Do they have...

    Fragrance oil costs

    I'm a little confused about the costs of fragrance oils and how you determine what quality oils are. I notice that one supplier can have the exact same oil for double the price. I'm guessing it's more concentrated but how do I know? I see that WSP has higher prices but I'm guessing that's...

    Thank you and sorry for my delayed reply - we've had a wedding and adoption in our immediate family in the last 2 weeks so my hobby time has been almost zero. That looks like it might be a great option! I do wish they had more reviews but they have a sample pack which they offer with free...

    Wax tarts aren't working - no scent

    I can't thank you enough for your help! I tried out another small batch today. The EcoSoya wax type I have is the Advanced kind so I'm going to stick with the Pillar of Bliss (not joy - that was a typing mistake). I used a different scent today to try it out. I added the fragrance oil at just...

    Wax tarts aren't working - no scent

    Thank you for replying and for the welcome! I didn't know to check the flashpoint and to be honest I don't exactly know what it means. I went and looked them up and the flashpoints are as follows: Orange Creamsicle = 124 degrees Honey and Oatmeal = 200 degrees Sweet Potato and Brown Sugar =...

    Wax tarts aren't working - no scent

    Hello, I'm new to making wax tarts (made candles years ago) and I seem to be having a problem. I've made them twice now and both times the hot throw is almost non-existent. Both times I followed the directions on the suppliers' websites for the correct temperatures to heat the wax and when...
