In my experience, with tarts you really need a para-soy blend to get a great throw from them. Of course, thats just my personal opinion, but when I first started doing tarts I wanted to do all soy, as that was what my candles were... but after several different attempts and blends, I learned...

Let us not forget Vegan Honey based soap :P Some people just crack me up.

Tell em you need to make a small detour into Denver Colorado!! Peak! :D I know how you feel... theres only one supplier within driving distance to me, and they don't allow pick-ups.

You also have to realize that with the internet, very little is truly "secret" anymore. You can find recipes for just about anything.... and its near impossible to perfectly duplicate someone elses recipe. You and I could both make bath bombs from the exact same recipe and they still would not...

Honestly I think I was more upset about losing the fragrance oil and shea butter for that batch! Citric acid is relatively inexpensive but I die a little inside each time I waste any shea butter :lol:

Was mixing up some bath bombs and just got in a new bag of citric acid, so I decided to "de-clump" the bag before I got started. So I got out my big bowl and started de-clumping. After that, I went and mixed my dry ingredients then went to mix my wet. Grabbed my dry bowl and wet bowl and...

Don't get me wrong, most of my profit goes right back into the business for more inventory and better supplies (it gets harder and harder the more I sell to do it on my own, so I've employed my kids too.... my 12 year old is in charge of the "packaging department". But, it is profit none the...

At this moment, flea markets, craft shows, soon to have a store. I have a loyal following in a certain professional community which is where a vast amount of my business comes from. I've been taking orders via email (mostly word of mouth) and hope to also have a website up soon, but I am an...

My average profit for bath and body is well over 1K per month, but most of my profit margin is not in soap itself. My kids soaps sell really well, adult soap is hit and miss. But, my other bath products (bath bombs, melts, salts, etc) are my profit leaders.

Actually, "Kia" is Korean for "Thank You". :) For me, I have my main company name, and a "division" for my bath and body line. Fairies are incorporated into both logo's though, for brand recognition.

Hi everyone! I have been making bath and body for about 3 years now and am in the final stages of getting funded to open a store. The only thing I need to finish up is my financial projections, and thats where I am stuck. I've been selling at flea markets and craft shows and the like, where...
