Hi all, I am hosting an Outlander event at my library (I'm a librarian) and I was going to give out some lip balms as giveaways to the guests at the event. I have made a few sweet lip balms in tubes, but I am trying to wrack my brain to think of a more rustic recipe in terms of smell/flavor to...

Didn't know where else to share my lament that half a lb of lavender buds are on the floor courtesy of my 18 mo old... ;/

It's getting to be farmer's market season here and in the Washington DC/surburbs area, there are LOTS of markets! Some (admittedly, the "cooler" ones) are producer only. I have done quite a bit of Googling on this topic and I guess because of the generality of the word, I'm not getting too far...

Ok, first, I know this is going to sound ridiculous. I have done two craft shows, one being a whirlwind of unpreparedness and the other being a whirlwind of busyness. Both of them I walk away unsure of my numbers sold and money earned. Can you seasoned vets recommend a way to stay organized...

Nope, just obsessed with buying oils... ;)

Hi all, I am on a mad rush to get some more plastic jars in time to send out for Christmas so I did some major research this morning and wanted to share. I was really looking for a local company (DC area) so that I could pick up for faster service. I ended up with Specialty Bottle (WA and TN)...

I think I know most of the benefits of having your own site vs. using Etsy for sales. I am afraid to make the move, thinking perhaps I will not get any traffic (but I am not getting any traffic in relevancy from Etsy at the moment, just direct links to my page from FB), but I am missing out on...

Hi all, I have not yet made any liquid soaps, but if this copycat was attainable, I would definitely try! My husband buys this soap like crazy (and also has talked his coworkers into purchasing) and I would love to be able to make it myself. It is Pedifix brand Fungasoap (their site is down or...

Well, I knew it was going to be a process of "Extreme Makeover" proportions when I signed up to do a craft fair with a week's notice. I am selling body scrubs and I have a 4oz pet jar. Got my printer tonight had everything all set up and...my labels are too tall by a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch! So...do...

Hi all! I have been making sugar and salt scrubs for awhile for family and myself of course, but I can't seem to keep them from being kind of clumpy in places! I used to do a mostly coconut oil carrier, and I know that firms up so I have been trying different oils such as sunflower, safflower...

In my scrubs, I have been using refined CO so the coconut smell is not there along with any EO or FO's. I would like to make more, and larger batches, but I have not seen refined CO for sale in anything more than a 16oz jar. Am I missing a tip for working with CO? TIA... Sent from my...

I wasn't sure where this post would fit, but since it is a CP class, I am sticking it here in the CP thread. There is a CP class being taught nearby next weekend and I am seriously considering taking it. It gives me a chance to learn the basics (I am below a newbie on the newbie scale) and see...

Hi all! I have been lurking a bit, and totally fascinated with what I have been reading, so I guess its time to introduce myself. I have never made soap before, but I have started making body scrubs and I am (and my family as well is) loving them! I found the soapmakingforum somehow and now...
