    Shower Poofy Hack

    This seems rather disrespectful. You asked if people would be skeeved out by it. To dismiss our feelings, experiences, and perspectives when responding to your direct question as "ridiculous - and taken a bit too far"... what did you expect? Unilateral agreement that anyone and everyone would...

    Shower Poofy Hack

    I offer only my personal opinion. But a shower poof is meant to clean. Emotionally I would feel unclean & dirty if I purchased and used a used towel for cleaning my body. It's used in the shower where I am as naked as can be and scrubbing my flesh with it. It requires complete and abject trust...

    Shower Poofy Hack

    I would be exceptionally squicked out, and I would feel violated if I wasn't informed in advance of purchase, to buy a shower poof made from a used towel. No matter how much you insist it has been cleaned and sanitized before and/or after it was sewn in to such.

    Question on CP recipe tweak

    I be weird then. Lol. I love my lotiony lather with a moderate superfat. And I don't want a heavy cleansing bar. I have a 25% babassu bar with 5% super fat and it's at the upper limit of what I want. My next recipe revision will be back to coconut and at 20% max.

    Bath Bomb help, please

    I would not recommend buying micas from Amazon. I looked up this listing and it doesn't provide the actual ingredients for each color for you to verify that they are truly bath bomb safe. A lot of blues, greens, and purples really aren't considered safe for bath bombs. Personally I would...

    Recycling bottles??

    A good lawyer will find an angle from which they can argue that the disclaimer or waiver is not applicable. It opens a small business soap maker up to a lot of litigation risk. Costly, expensive litigation risk that in and of itself can tank their business. The legal fees could bankrupt them...

    What do you guys think of this scale?

    I love that YouTube channel! I have her subscribed and watch daily. I also love her shop, having had a chance to visit in person since I'm in the greater Seattle area as is she. ETA: The one with the ruler, which I own and use for my own soap making, is a bit sensitive but still good. And it...

    Custom Order Soap Favors - M&P or CP??

    I mean... most weddings are planned out months to years in advance. I would hope they are willing to wait a simple 4-6 weeks, and would be careful enough to not wait until the last minute for anything custom ordered. But for that, you could offer MP options. Last minute order, sure! This is the...

    A few questions

    Because label appeal = differentiation in a saturated market (can)= increased sales. Seriously, if the market around you will buy it because of an additive on the label and won't buy due to lack thereof, then it's not a waste of money to include it. It's a necessary business expense. For cases...

    Custom Order Soap Favors - M&P or CP??

    I don't sell. I've only been soaping for about 10 months. I'm not ready to sell, if ever. But I think about it a lot. Like, if I could win the lottery I think I would open a bath & body business. Okay so with the term "lead time" I assume you mean that would be the quoted time to readiness for...

    Question on CP recipe tweak

    67% Shea... I has an intrigue. I use Shea at what I THOUGHT was a high general percentage (15ish) and I love it. 67% though... I can't decide if I want to play with this for fun or if I'm scared I'll like it too much and then my hobby gets suddenly that much more expensive...

    Neat. Very similar! Thank you. :D

    A wonderful try of Making bath bombs

    Very bright and colorful. What kind of recipe did you use? Any additive beyond the baking soda and citric acid? I recently made some bath bombs with menthol (at my partners insistence), Epsom salt, and kaolin clay, plus the fragrances. We've only tried one but it was nice! And thankfully despite...
