I need a little advice or help on this issue. A few years ago I was selling soaps at the Farmers Markets and noticed that my cigar labels would slide off the soap after a few weeks. My soap were shrinking, which was causing the label to become to big all of a sudden. Has this ever happened to...

After a few years of being unable to make my own CP soap, I thought I would come by and ask a few questions...and hopefully get started again. As I have been out of the soap making business for quite some time, I was wondering what are the popular soap scents? When I was working at farmers...

carebear: I purchased of bucket of pre-made shea butter body cream. I just realized that it's the same ingredients as lotion...hahaha. And here I thought I was getting something totally different.

What is the difference between the both? I've been doing a bit a research and I can't seem to figure out the difference between the both. I recently purchased shea butter body cream, and was hoping to make some body butter with it. Is it possible to do this with the cream I got? As well...

Hello Debbie, Could you let us know what the amounts were? There's no way of figuring this out if we don't know the quantities used :) The recipe that's helped me alot was; 1cup of baking soda, 1/2 cup of citric acid, 1/2 cup of corn starch. For the liquids I have 2 1/2 tbsp...

I'm so proud today!! I made a ton of bath bombs

dcornett: That is super cool!! thank you for sharing that.

dcornett: I'm going to have to learn how :)

You know, I'm not sure how much I put in :( That's something I should figure out...lol Anyhow, I like the cornstarch tip. I think I might give that a try.
