I bought an oily scrub base and the oils float to the top leaving me afraid to ship this in my product line. Is there any way I can add emulsifying was or stearic acid to fix this and how? Thank you!

Thanks Dibbles! Very helpful info. I just needed a guide so I can start! Appreciate it!:)

Yeah, thanks...I have a variety of audiences...but I will be selling in my community at events and also online. but I think im just going to have different scents at least 5 for starters. ill add more products as I go. Im just starting so im on a limited budget, but in time!

My new business is going to consist of these 3 products. 1. Bath Salts 2. Whipped Body Butter 3. Sugar/Salt Scrubs My problem is that I'm not sure what scents to start out with for each. I know everyone is different and I'm working with a tight budget so I only need one scent to start out...

Looking for label software

Actually, I was all I could afford since I'm just starting out. But maybe I just need to go ahead and use onlinelabels and bite the bullet.

I am in desperate need of an easy to use label making program/software. I've on the fence about Printmaster since I did some research on the new version v6, which does not have good reviews.

That's a neat idea! Does any one know where I can purchase something to put a sample of my scubs in ? I do have show coming up at the end of the month. It will be my first set up. I was also thinking about bringing a bowl and a spray bottle with water so that people can sample the scrub and the...

This is great and very cost effective for a budget conscious newbie. I will definetly be trying your method since I havent reached the level of going to Fedex yet (financially) it may be something I would consider in the future. Thanks

I have an upcoming conference in a few months a friend who is hosting the conference asked me to set up a table as vendor to sell some of my body scrubs. Well, I figured this would be a good opportunity to share my crafts and make some sales. I'm just a little confused on which scrub should I...

Hi, Very new to this site and to the DIY Bath and Body. I just wanted to know is it okay for me to use regular food coloring to color my products? Little confused. If not what would be the easiest colorant to used for mainly Scrubs, Body butters and bath salts? Seems like liquis colorants are...

Does anyone have an idea what I should put in my body butters to make them stay whipped. I would hate the idea that once the customer takes the product home and it starts to solidify? It there any special ingredients where it can stay looking like whipped cream and not so greasy, I used...

I asked a rep at Brambleberry and she said it was fine to use their f/o names. I guess that would be good marketing for them if some one were to look up the name. but it just seems like to much work to rename all those fragrance oils, not perfume dupes, but just the regular f/o. I need to...
