Hi. Not sure where to post so feel free to move. I've been selling a short while and someone who I have not sold to has asked to see my CPSR. I have one and it's all good but is it ok to share? I know it has recipe details and my address which I was unsure about sharing. Is this normal...

Thanks everyone, really appreciate all the help!

Thanks @LilyJo , I'll submit and see what they say. Could be a while as I think the Soap Kitchen has a bit of a backlog.

Hi Just wondering where people are buying fragrance oils in the UK? I've been looking lately and there are quite a few too choose from and I can't decide who to go for and wondered if anyone had any thoughts. Up til now I've only used essential oils so it's a new adventure for me! Thanks Scott

Hi all I'm Scott and just joined, be great to hear if there are other UK people about! I've been making soap for 6 months or so, just currently looking into the viability of selling but it is pretty complicated over here! Anyway, I'll see you around :)
