Thank you for the info. I am printing that out and putting it in my idea folder. I still don't know that I will make one but it is great to gather all of this knowledge.

I did! I got 2 24lb blocks, one was out of stock but arrived yesterday. The first one arrived pretty quickly. I feel your pain on the spill. :(

It was more of an idea that I was researching for the feasibility. About bar soap - I had recently asked our pediatrician about whether or not a bar soap was recommended for babies and we had a discussion about it and she thought it was fine for 6+ months. We used something along the lines of...

I use onlinelabels and their Maestro design program for labels, they have tons of sizes and shapes. As far as packaging goes, I am in the same boat - I can't seem to find something that wows me!

I have been trying to research the safety of using rosemary in a soap for babies (6+ months old and up). So far the only information I can really find is on use of rosemary essential oils, which are a no. Does anyone here know if there is a percentage of ground rosemary that could be added to...

Loving this thread! I so needed some of this today. Glad to know I am not the only one :)

I would bring the pumpkin soap, it's such a popular thing now. We had a limited edition pumpkin soap and I am going to end up probably bringing it back because so many people ask me for it year round. I also agree to bring as many different ones as you can because you never quite know who your...

Love the colors! Kind of looks like a smiling monster with one eye to me :)

I started my spreadsheets to track cost and am working on what my core product line will be. I've been out of work since December with a concussion from a car accident, and now with post concussion syndrome I am no where near where I was before the accident yet but accomplishing the smallest of...

Thanks! I was also considering a different sized or shape label. Most of them don't bunch up that badly, but this gave the perfect example of why I am not in love with this method. I'll look into the heat gun too, that might be the solution, I bet that would help with air bubbles getting under...

am at a loss, I want to take my packaging to the next level but other than wrapping in clingfilm and sealing with a label, is anyone doing something more creative or standout with their m&p soaps? Here is basically what I am doing now but it just doesn't seem to have a polished professional...

Those are gorgeous! I think I need to learn stamping now! What a great way to make your soap stand out. Thanks for posting the link!

That's hilarious! I needed a good laugh :)

I got this for a friend who wanted me to come up with some custom soaps for holiday gifts. I usually don't like minty scents but this one had us both in love! We used it in bath salts and m&p soaps. For the soap, I went with a conservative 1% and it really came through nicely without...

I have been looking at these recipes for dog soap but haven't tried them just yet : http://candleandsoap.about.com/od/soaprecipes/a/dogsoaprecipes_2.htm I am more hesitant to do a cat soap because they are so much more sensitive.
