    Fragrance Oils - Free :)

    Oh how they'd be welcome here!! I'm lamenting the fact that our money supply is less than the price of soap making stuffs! I'm sure we can pay postage seeing as we're in Australia. :) Thyri

    Cardboard Molds

    Because when Baking Paper came out, everyne started using it over greaseproof- because it was the new big thing in baking. I'm not sure why some of the big supermarkets don't stock it anymore though. You'd think they would. But I've been to a few Woolies, and Coles locally and no...

    Chocolate soap?

    Awesome! Thanks Amy! I'll be sure to let everyone know how it goes! Now I've just got to order the ingredients I don't have. Its going to be awesome! Could I melt in a bar of 70% cocoa chocolate just to be decadent? And would it be classed as an oil?

    Cardboard Molds

    My sweetie pie used to work in a foam manufacturing plant, and we have some awesome heat proof plastic that is perfect for soap linings! Greaseproof used to exist here- we used to use it as kids- but then they kinda phased it out for baking paper. I'd love to get my hands on some...

    Cardboard Molds

    Okay, so if I line a cardboard tube, can it be used to make a mold? Has anyone done this? I'm not worried if I have to throw out the cardboard after- if I line it well enough it should be okay right? Thanks in advance :)

    Where do find insurance for small soap business

    So any of the Aussie members here who sell their soaps- can you point me in the right direction? I'm not going to rush out and sell soaps right now, but I have a handle on other things I'd like to sell that are 'bathroom' related (salts, bombs etc) Do I need to check in with the fellows...

    Aloe Vera Advice

    My sweetiepie just said he knows where he can get me some aloe vera plant. If I peel it, and then put it in a food processor- and then maybe strain it- I could use it in place of water yes? You've all got my brains going now!

    Best type of EO / FO measuring container?

    I'm not sure what they are exactly- but I have a bottle or two that I wouldn't wear, so I thought I'd keep one in reserve and try some soap with it for my own use :) I'll give it a go once I've got a decent soap recipe going. Again, sorry for the hijack!
