I have been making goat milk soap and lotion for about 6 years now. This year I am wanting to add a few new things. Body Spray, a liquid soap (pre made base as I have not been able to master that one for some reason :( ) I am also thinking of adding a wickles/flameless candle so I can do sets...
I really like Fresh Fruit Slices from NG. It is my best seller. I also like Lavender Fleur from MMS. I have even had people that weren't real fond of Lavender like this one. It is mellow.
I have been using the FO calculator on The Sage using the heavy amount on soap and a medium on lotion. It has been working really good in the past. It just seems like with this last order of FO's not so good. Wondering if I got a bad batch of FO but I wouldn't think it would be with all my...

Ok I have made my lip balm with bees wax. But it is a little softer than I like. It also doesn't last on your lips. If I add more bees wax will that help?

Thanks
