Have you tried your local health food store? Is there one by You?

where can you buy citric acid? I have seen it online but, I would like to get it from a store if I can to save on shipping.

Faithy, my heart goes out to you and your son. My younger brother has ADHD and so does my 5 year old son. I am trying to keep him off meds as long as I can. It is a struggle but, we try to work with him as much as we can 1 on 1.

I make an oatmeal bath too. I found these plain muslin bags. They come in different sizes and don't cost much. You can save $$$ by buying your oats out of the bulk bins (even Organic).

A co op could be done on the bases wanted most. Just putting my 2 cents. I think I would like a couple pounds of shea also. Tab, SFIC bases are all SLS free right? I think I read that correctly on their site.

I only use All or dreft in the laundry. Since we have a HE washer I can use less detergent. I am going to order my butters this weekend. Have you tried WSP aloe & shea butter? From the reviews people go nuts over it. I also have to get a stainless steel bowl or two.

I love them!! Even though it may seem excessive packaging they are made of hard melamine and are reusable. You can keep them for years.

Thanks Kat. I think there was an offer on Amazon for both of those books for like $22.30 or something like that.

Lane, I had never thought of that!! I have tried goats milk both base and added to a clear base as well as oatmeal and aloe. She has done better with this than commercial (out of the store) soaps. I was wanting to try CP so that I could make a bar with flax seed oil. Flax is wonderful for the...

The reviews have been great I just wanted to ask before I bought it.

Has anyone read the book Smart Soap Making by Ann L. Watson? I want a good book for beginners.

some times you can ask the store manager if they can order things for you. Won't hurt to ask and could save money.

Thanks Tabitha. I like to have as much info as I can get, before I get in to deep doing something then it is hard to go back and redo (costly too). I know that if you set up your business in the correct manner you as an individual are more protected if you get sued. I try to read about herbs...
