If I wanted to be able to add scent and package up bath salts as soon as the scent was added, what would be the best way? I was thinking using a dropper, then closing them up, but I was afraid they'd clump all up. Could I maybe pre-scent some powder (arrowroot or similar) let it dry, then...

Is anyone interested in the little confectionary cake/cupcake decorations? Going through inventory, I have WAAAYYY too much. I divided some up and came up with a destash price of $0.50/2 tablespoons worth (0.7oz/19g). Shipping would depend on how much, and it should be able to go first class in...

During their 40% off sale, I picked up a few things, including a bottle of cedarwood FO. It's not like the normal soap/candle FO's. It's somewhat viscous and the scent isn't very strong. It says it can be used in soaps and candles, but as this is the first Costal Scents FO I've ever purchased...

I've been making smooth tops on my soaps for years. Wrapping in cellophane "gift wrap" and wrapping each bar just like a gift and using vertical cigar band labels. I unfortunately decided to get crazy with textured tops while doing some mantra swirls, and now the first batch is ready for wraps...

I've been making bath bombs, but the recipe I use has so much stuff in it, that it makes it more of a PITA than what it's really worth in the end. I mean, they're AWESOME in the tub, but for as much as they sell, it isn't worth it to make bombs anymore. I'm wondering if a change of recipe would...

I'm looking at increasing the amount of oils I buy, but purely out of curiousity, I'm wondering how much of each oil each person purchases? Do you buy 1oz samplers, 4oz, 8, 16 or 5lb? Thanks guys!

I'm going to be putting in an order for shea butter, but was wondering if anyone would be interested in smaller amounts of shea butter? I want to order 25lbs, if I can sell some of it in smaller amounts. I'm thinking like $4.50/lb. It's a little more than what I'd be paying per pound, but would...

I've overwhelmed my soap dish, and have since taken over the boyfriend's soap dish as well... and that's just with scraps of soap (maybe 1x2.5" chunks, and thin, maybe half an inch thick max). I'm seriously considering buying a cheap plastic storage basket from the dollar store to put my darn...

I've got a load in my shopping cart, but I'm stuck on this choice. I know the BTMS (25% according to supplier) is supposed to make a much silkier, drier lotion. I've been using e-wax (1lb bag of it from BB), and my lotion is actually quite dry (actually too much, I plan to reformulate), but has...

Trying to keep my costs down, I'm wondering if you can use 80 in place of 20? I know that 80 is more for heavier oils than what 20 is, so in theory, it should work for both light and heavy oils, correct?

I'm not sure if this is in the right place or not, so I apologize in advance for that! What I'm wondering is, what is the lead time for Soapers Choice orders? I just placed an order, and I'm wondering how long it'll take for them to ship out? I've never used this supplier before and can't...

I made my first batch of CPOP at the boyfriend's house today. I popped it in the oven at 150F, then proceeded about my business. Ran to pick up a pizza (boyfriend was here) and came back and don't you know, that stupid soap overheated. With my oven, I can leave it on at 150F overnight without...

I started quadrupling my recipe, then dividing it out into four parts to make four batches at a time. I have a high EVOO recipe, so it has worked fairly well. Now I want to do a 5 batch master batch. It only seems logical since I have 5 loaf molds, lol. In short, how big of a master batch is...

I've been looking at reducing costs, and wondering what the shelf life of lye is... I've had it last for a year for me, but wondering if it lasts longer than that. I don't really go through a lot, but would like to buy larger amounts to drop the price. So... what is the shelf life of lye?

I have about 7lbs of this left that I won't be using. Looking for $15 or best offer. I'll get an exact weight on it tomorrow. Shipping depends on location.

I've had it with this scent! I've got one ounce left of 8oz. I have yet to make soap that didn't turn into soap on a stick or glumpy crap in a mold. I just tried it again with a new method... COLD everything, dump it all in together at once, and I STILL GET CRAP! Grawr! It literally turned to...

So, I've never posted here and many don't really know about my personal life, but I've just had it up to here *raises hand high above head* with school. I had been in honors all year, with two months left to go, and the school dismissed me from the program, supposedly for swearing. They have no...

I finally got my black and red iron oxide and want to soap dragon's blood. The white portion will be left unscented. Now what I can't decide is whether I want to do my high olive oil and goat milk blend or do a salt bar? Someone help me decide! Lol
