    Lip Balm Questions…

    Hey everyone! I’ve driven myself crazy trying to figure this out and I think I’ve made it more complicated than it needs to be. It’s my first time making lip balm…I have the Lip Solutions and some flavor oils from MMS to try. The % rate for most of the flavor oils is 2-4%….I’m so comfortable...

    BeScented FO

    Hi, I tried searching but didn’t come up with much…Do any of you use BeScented for FOs? How do they stick? I’ve recently been using WSP FOs with good results but they are so $$$ unless on sale! Thanks everyone!

    Hey everyone, I need some help. I made a batch of soap with activated charcoal last night and this morning realized I never added the castor oil 😒. I only use it at 5%, and my thinking is the soap will still be safe as I superfat 5% in my recipes so it evens out. Does that make sense or am I way...

    Thank you! I need to read more about gelling. I know people force gel but not really sure of the benefits. I’ve read if you use colors they look better, I guess it also hardens up faster too?
