Looks wonderful! I just "liked" your page :) Lisa ___________________________ http://www.whistlernaturals.com

If you have any heat sensitive ingredients (i.e. vitamin e, essential oils, etc... ) then it's probably best to start over, but you can always give it a try to see how it turns out. You are definitely not the first to mess up during a formulation and to try to go back and fix it. Sometimes it...

Wow! I have never seen anything arrive even close to that bad! Did a 5-year-old package it? I am curious how your next one arrives. Personally, I would avoid them if only because it is very important that I can trust the company we are ordering from will be super sanitary and organized for...

I have seen that often as well, Genny... one of my business partners has quite a few allergies and once she gets in her head that something smells even remotely like something she has an allergy to she won't go within 10 ft of it. Her daughter also has a very serious nut allergy, so we stay...

Are you making the products yourself with ingredients from Bramble Berry, or purchasing the ready-made bases? If you are making them yourself, you would want to get them tested to ensure your preservative is holding up, but if you are using bases from Bramble Berry, I would suggest contacting...

Thank you for the warm welcome!

One of the best things about this business is that everyone does (or should :) use soap, so it is a market that can handle competition. I am a firm believer that if the stars are aligning, then you should probably follow them. However, the most important step with any business is developing a...

I love to give samples of our new products to friends and family, and get their feedback and views on everything. It`s a real eye opener when you can absolutely LOVE something you created, but then discover most people really don`t like the scent, texture, etc... However, I always throw out...

Great work Lindy ~ you are an inspiration! Love the article! Lisa _____________________________ http://www.whistlernaturals.com http://www.facebook.com/whistlernaturals

bluehost.com is great! I also use godaddy.com for my other business and they are good as well, but for installing shopping carts, wordpress, etc... Blue Host is my preference. Lisa _______________________________ http://www.whistlernaturals.com http://www.facebook.com/whistlernaturals

I would recommend trying different variations of rosemary... some can have a very strong eucalyptus smell to them and it really over powers everything it comes into contact with. Lisa ___________________________________ http://www.whistlernaturals.com http://www.facebook.com/whistlernaturals

I have visited the forum often for a long time now and have decided it is time for me to extend a hand to others who are looking for advice, etc... in the cosmetic making industry. We are a natural skin care/bath & body manufacturer based out of Whistler, BC (http://www.whistlernaturals.com)...
