    Rebatching advice sought!

    I have some pretty hard soap I want to rebatch and I'm seeing wildly different recommendations about how much liquid to add. A couple of articles suggest 9 oz water per lb of soap and I realize the amount will depend on how hard the soap is but this sounds like an awful lot. Also, a lot of...

    Wholesale Supplies Plus - need to gripe

    Until a few months ago shipping to Hawaii and Alaska was not free but pretty much at cost (via USPS) and we got a 20% discount to offset the 'free' shipping that other states got. Then for a brief period of time they offered free shipping to us (and shipped in flat rate boxes, which I had...

    Soap that is hard on the outside but soft inside

    I bought a some soap from a vendor recently and cut it in half only to find that although it is very hard on the outside, it is really soft inside, and presumably would not pass the zap test :o So I am curious: do some people 'fast cure' their soap so that it seems hard/cured (and retains it's...

    Lotion Bars - what percentage FO and EO do you use?

    I see recipes listed at 2% for FOs and approximately 1% for EOs. I realize it depends on the FO or EO in question but just wondering what folks here use? I use 1.3 - 1.5% FO for the thick lotion that I make but I realize solid lotion bars may need a bit more than that. ?

    Wholesale Supplies Plus Sale - What to Expect?

    I remember hearing about a massive sale last year but I can't find out how much they discount their FOs? (even looked at their FB announcement for last year but there was no info). I need a few FOs and am wondering if it is worth waiting (especially as they will probably take a while to ship...

    Sweet Cakes Aria by Culti - Totally Degraded :(

    I absolutely adore this scent but have recently discovered that the first 4 oz I purchased in August 2014 has totally degraded to the point of smelling quite unpleasant. Unfortunately I purchased a pound of it in November 2014 and this has started to lose it's beautiful scent too. I'm SO...

    Digital Thermometer Recommendations

    I was thinking of buying a stainless steel thermometer from Elements Bath & Body but I found it on Amazon and the reviews were pretty bad. What kind of thermometer do you like & use? I will be using it for lotion-making mainly... Thanks! Aline

    Elements B & B Reviews

    I have just looked at a lot of Fragrance Oil reviews at Elements Bath & Body and have not found a single negative one! A couple of 'it's OK' reviews yes, but not a single negative one! This to me is very suspect. I mean, even if their FO's are all fabulous, because scent is so subjective there...
