I have 3....my favorite back stratchers!! Never thought to use them (new ones LOL) as swirl tools! Let us know how it worked!

Isn't doterra the company that just received the huge "noncompliance" letter from the FDA & they & their resellers are under scrutiny?? There's a recent thread here somewhere. Just my humble 2 cents....I would not want my products anywhere near them. I tend to be very cautious about my business...

I order from BA quite often...good quality products, reasonable prices, fast shipping, & good customer service. You may want to send that email again, perhaps the first got lost??

Any feed store or farm supply store ( like Tractor Supply) that carries horse products will have pine tar. Horse owners use it for hooves.

I use sodium lactate @ 1/2 to 1tsp ppo added to my lye water. Doesn't affect trace or accelerates that I know of...hasn't happened to me. If I have fast trace or acceleration it's normally the FO or TD that's the cause. I usually have plenty of time to work....sometimes having to wait for the...

I use 1 teaspoon sodium lactate per pound of oils....added to the lye water. I had the same problems as you with the HDPE molds....I line them with freezer paper & no more problems. Soap comes out easily.

Never cover...never insulate...soap cool.

I do both cold process & glycerine (M&P) as well as using M&P embeds for my CP soap. It actually is much more work for me to do the glycerine soap. Done correctly, it is time consuming & can be quite a challenge. I would never compare M&P to baking from a box.....not the way I do it. You'll...

Soaper's Choice....even with shipping costs, still the best deal.

Hi all. Are any of you using this Tres Leche base or have used it in the past? It's a fabulous moisturizing base...I use it for enbeds,samples, & small soaps but it's extremely soft. The block is soft & the soap is soft.....bendable soft. Their chemist says it's absorbing moisture from the air...
