    Using some old soap ends with some DOS for personal use laundry detergent

    I have a bunch of scraps, ends, and imbeds that I dug up. Some of them have DOS. I understand that superfatted soap isn't necessarily the kind that you want to use in laundry detergent but maybe if I made a blend of the scraps and 0% superfatted soap...? I don't know, I hate waste, what are your...

    How do you store your products? Anyone willing to share pics of their setup?

    Right now, soaps get stored on a metal shelf with lots of air. But my other products like salves, lip balm, etc live in separate bins in bags on a shelf. There's gotta be a better way! My business is growing and as I introduce more products, I feel like I could be a lot more organized and...

    Alkanet turned a beautiful blue!

    I made a soap yesterday that is still in the molds. I have started packaging my soaps differently that requires the tops to be flat. I had some extra alkanet infused OO left over and I figured, why the heck not? So I dropped some on top, swirled it around, and expected it to turn the typical...

    Labels for .125 oz roll on bottle?

    Hey ladies and gents! I recently bought a stash of .125 oz roll-on bottles and assumed (and we all know what assuming sometimes means) that I could get labels to fit these from www.onlinelabels.com as they are my go-to company for labels. Does anyone know what size labels these should be...

    Removable price tags

    Hi guys and gals! :wave: Recently, I was contacted by a shop that is out of state that wants to feature my products in their shop. In the contract it states that everything must have a price tag attached with a removable part that they use to keep track of sales. How in the world am I going...

    Sign holder

    So I scoured the forum regarding signage/displays and couldn't find what I was looking for so I'm asking for your help. I'm looking for (please excuse my lack of technical terms) sign holders like these but instead of having some kind of base I need them to be "stabby" like a toothpick...

    It's a hard job but nobody's gotta do it.

    I'm testing 3 new face masks that I made today. My husband thinks I'm crazy. Oh, the things we do for fresh skin!

    Pretty happy with the way my new salt bar turned out!

    Made with a blend of olive, castor and coconut oil. Added sea clay and kelp with a blend of anise and lavender essential oils. I am surprised at how strong the kelp scent is which I'm actually liking with the essential oils.

    Storing supplies

    So, I'm running into a problem, because of my problem. My soaping addiction that is. I'm not necessarily running out of room but things are getting very unorganized. I have a giant box of herbs, spices, and the like. Bags of clay, salts, and whatnot. But I really need a system or...

    WSP Castor Oil - Recent Order

    So, I purchased 2 gallons of castor oil to stock up in the middle of January. It took the full 5 days for them to process my order (1-5 days is their estimate) and then a few days to get to me. It was pretty cold, high 20's-low 30's. I probably didn't actually open the castor oil until...

    Ground Cumin INCI

    :?: So I have some ground cumin that I'd like to put into a soap and I'm trying to find the INCI name for it. It's not from black cumin seed so I know the INCI name won't be Nigella sativa (Black Cumin) Seed Oil. The Latin name for the herb is Cuminum cyminum L, straight from McCormick's...

    Supplies Swap

    Is there a way that we can post supplies that we have that we don't need and would like to swap someone for something else if they are interested? Or is this against the rules? Basically I have more cocoa butter than I will ever use and am looking for some deodorized cocoa butter. I also have...

    Warning: Rant Ahead - regarding bath bombs

    I HATE MAKING BATH BOMBS! They're either too dry and don't stick together, they fizz early because they're too wet. Finally, I got a good batch! Oh wait, no. Hey Jen, how about ya bump all of the bath bombs on the shelf as you're sliding into place on the drying rack. I'm fortunate...
