What an interesting discussion, I've never heard of that new preservative. Yet another new ingredient to research!!! LOL I have a certain philosophy which governs the ingredients I choose. So for me to make a decision on a new ingredient or product it's pretty much cut and dried. Yes...

Does anyone have a basic cream recipe (or any suggestions) that doesn't include glycerin/glycerine? I have a few customers allergic to this ingredient, and they are also very, very against 'unnatural' ingredients. Oh, and it must be vegan too..... I use glycerin in all my creams - I was...

I think it's natural for a guy to like floral scents - after all, they like us with our floral perfumes LOL. I loooove the woody masculine scent of men's aftershave, and would like to wear it myself......but prefer snuggling up to my man and smelling it on him. Hey Dragonfly Princess...

I don't like to line molds - I get frustrated and never seem to get a smooth edge.......then I have to tidy up my soaps :? I don't have the patience!! I'm currently using a 1.5 kilogram log mold (don't know how many pounds that is) I'd like to try a slab mold with dividers and do lovely...

Yep - water + alcohol + flowers' good vibes

a dose bottle is made up of water with a small amount of alcohol as a preservative, and the flower essence or a blend of flower essences added to that.

Not essential oils but a vibrational remedy. I'm studying the Australian ones atm.......so many uses for them. Tab, that site looks beautiful, thanks for sharing. I love to make personal creams for my clients by including the remedies they need for about 2 weeks. They have an effect on...

Paul, I can't get my head around the slab log cutter (I presume it cuts a slab into logs) - can you post pictures of cutting soap with it? Take pity on a poor Aussie girl.... Sanghama *very patiently waiting for her new TOG mold to arrive* :D

when my son got sunburnt on school camp a few years ago, I tried potato juice on his blistered skin (lots of sun down under LOL). It worked really well, he complained of the cold a few minutes later :) you can put ordinary potatoes through a juicer, or just grate them and soak up the juice...

Deb, I love your layout, and the menu section looks sensational - very clear and easy to read. The title "what's new for June" doesn't look clear to me.....what I mean is that is doesn't stand out enough - I would prefer to see it a different colour, and maybe a bit bigger or a clearer font...

Has anyone used Gingergrass essential oil? One of my suppliers has just got it in and I'm keen to experiment. If anyone can suggest any blends for either cold or hot process soap making that'd be great.

popcorn packaging - how cool. I will still use recycled materials from my suppliers, probably for the wholesale orders. But for retail orders it will be popcorn all the way. :D Oh boy, now I have to go find a hot air popcorn popper. My daughters are avid e-bay shoppers, they can find...

then you can be an official honorary Aussie (and please pronounce it 'ozzie') :wink:

thanks Paul, you're a sweetie.....or a top bloke - take your pick :D btw those soaps look great

so Paul would you start your DHHP process the same way you do RTCP? just gotta be clear on this in my head, ya know?
