Stearic Acid 17.6
Tobacco Leaf & Amber Fragrance .5
Glycerin 1.75 oz.

Well I think I will call this issue of cracking a success as I have now made 3 batches of soap that I previously had trouble with cracking and put them in the refrigerator instead of the freezer and all 3 of them came out perfect. Thanks for everyones comments and helps.
Does anyone know why some of my Goat milk soaps crack at some while in the freezer. After I pour into my mold I put into the freezer for 8 hrs. Sometimes they come out perfect and other times the soap will have cracked around the outside edges, see attached picture.
I remember a long time ago I had made a pattern out of thick cardboard that I would then use as a template to make my liner for my wooden molds. Well it's been a long time since I have had to do that as 6 or 7 years I bit that cost and ordered my first clear acrylic mold from...
I used to use a One Piece Hamilton Beach stick blender and it worked great and did not produce air into the batter. I used to have two of them and now finally one wore out and down to my last one. I have tried several two piece blenders from expensive rechargeable to inexpensive two piece and...
Wire cutter for me was the way to go as it saves a ton of time and I get consistent size. I purchase mine on Etsy and it cuts 11 bars 1-1/8". You can order your cutter to whatever width you prefer. I also purchased a single wire cutter to which I don't use as much but it come in handy on...
I was requested to make a soap that smells like the soda pop "Mountain Dew" and so I made a Goat Milk soap with green and white swirls and the scent from Natures Garden called MT. Dew. I think it turned out well and has a nice strong lemon/lime scent.
Has anyone attempted to make a soap and or candle that smells like the Mountaindue soap pop. I have just received a request for both of those and I know that Natures Garden does make a scent called Mountain Dew and so just thinking about attempting this project.
I introduced to my line of products a Men's Beard Conditioner. It is called Bourbon Tobacco and it smells terrific. I plan on also adding to my men's line a shampoo and shower gel with the same scent.
I would say for me getting the correct color when making CP soap is my biggest challenge. There just are so many things that can effect the color, like what oils are being used, or water based may make color different then Goat Milk based soaps. It pays to write lots of notes so when you...
I had to reset my password but all my past orders still show up. It’s funny because I used to use Wholesale Supply probably 90% of my fragrance oils were from them, and now I have almost switched completely the other way to natures garden just because of the price, now it will be interesting...
I purchase blank labels from Onlinelabels.com and then I use their program called Maestro Designer to make my labels. I can save and change as much as I want and add pictures to my labels also. I package my labels in Organza fabric bags that tie with a sewn in ribbon. The label I just lay...
