I went with UPS just at the insistence of my husband. I simply declared everything accurately and I am done. If she has to pay extra fees to get it, that’s really not worth me taking a risk on my end. I got tired of fretting about it and just did it the right way and that’s that. Thank you...

So the package is officially in the hands of UPS. I did everything correctly on my end, and the guy at UPS told me that customs is almost sure to go through it. So she might not get the items I forgot to put the net weight on, or maybe that will be ok, or maybe the whole thing gets sent back...

Thank you for putting perspective on this. You’re completely right. This has gotten uncomfortable for me at this point. I’m just going to ship it with correct info, and it is out of my hands at that point, thank goodness. It will no longer be my problem, I’m going to quit worrying about it...

Omg y’all I shipped the package and I completely forgot to put the net weight and a batch number!! I did EVERYTHING else, listed ingredients by the INCI name and listed my name and address, use by date, all of that. But I forgot the net weight and a batch number. Of course. I worked SO HARD...

Thank you all! I’m going to follow the instructions given on the link posted above. I’ll make extensive, thorough labels and hope for the best. I did read that wrapping up a glass jar will make customs want to look through your package, and there’s just no way I can avoid that. I can’t put...

Oh you’re not scaring me, it’s ok! You’re teaching me and I’m glad. So I’ve looked up the American FDA requirements on labeling for a bath bomb, and the labeling requirements are actually less strict than it would be if it were handmade soap. The labels for my particular products (no soap...

Well, this does concern me some. I suppose we can say that it was purchased here and sent as a gift, but I’ve also included some Embryolisse products I used to carry, (I’m also a licensed makeup artist) so would those be an issue? I suppose not because they have all the professional labeling...

Oh wow you guys! I forgot to check my email for a while and so I’m sorry I didn’t say thank you sooner! Let me send this and then I’ll read your replies! Thank y’all so much! I’m using Shea and Cocounut oil. I have cocoa butter, but I’m waiting on my deodorized cocoa butter to get here...

Hi y’all! I have a pickle; I’ve received an order to be sent to Portugal. The order includes lotion bars and sugar scrub, both made with coconut oil that has a melting point of 76F, if I remember right. How on earth will I keep that from melting in transit to Portugal?? I tried to make lotion...

Thank you guys!! That teaches me a good deal. Awesome!

I’m using them to make Milk Baths, Sugar Scrubs, sometimes bath bombs, Bath Salt soaks, and bubble bath. In the beginning I used nothing but EO is a carrier oil was standard. Then I discovered Fragrance oils, and I just continued using the carrier. For products like what I described, would it...

Hello y’all! I’m a newbie here. I’ve been making a few different bath products and I did learn long ago that my essential oils need a carrier oil. I have always just assumed that my fragrance oils need a carrier oil as well. I just realized I have no idea if that’s true. I did Google but I...

Hello all! I’m new, this is my first post. I don’t make hard soap yet, but I do make Milk Baths, Bubbling Sugar Scrub, Bath Salts, Shower melts and Bath Melts. I’m not big into bath bombs. Just a little intro! So my question is this: When I make my Bath Salts, how do I ensure they will not...

I don’t know if there’s a difference between cornflour and cornstarch, but I always use cornstarch. It sounds like the bombs aren’t getting wet enough to hold together. Plus, (and this is big) I noticed you don’t have Polysorbate 80 listed in your recipe. If that was an oversight, just ignore...
