    Lotion problem

    I have no idea what I did wrong guys but I have a big problem and feel like I may have wasted a lot of great ingredients. My lotion/cream is refusing to thicken. Like, it’s literally water consistency. My recipe is: 68% water 7.5 % Shea butter 7.5 % Mango butter 1.5% capuacu butter 1.5% kokum...

    Sticker Labels

    I have an HP deskjet 4500 Yeah, at this point I just want less stress so I'm paying someone else to worry about perfect alignment LOL.

    Sticker Labels

    Yeah, it could be, in which case it's just not worth the headache. I'd rather design them and then send them off for someone else to print lol. Designing them is fun, at least.

    Sticker Labels

    I did and I tried to print with it checked and unchecked. It worked with it checked, twice. I really appreciate your help:)

    Sticker Labels

    Yup! I ran the alignment tests and it would work for one print but I would have to do it all over again every new print. Maybe I should have done multiple copies of the same page (1 print job) just to see if they'd stay aligned.

    Sticker Labels

    I've tried using several. The 1x5 bands, the 1.5 circles, the 2.5 circles, the 2x5 bands. Maybe I will give customer service a call. The first ones I printed the color came out so beautiful and I was so excited--and then I noticed the misalignment. These all have page margins.

    Sticker Labels

    I double checked to see if I order the right labels and it seems like I did according to my packing slips and invoice. I was using their program because I figured it would help solve the alignment issues. Spoiler alert: it did not! I also liked the labels I designed on canvas way more but...

    Sticker Labels

    I am having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, y'all. I'm all out of can, my even is non existent. Online labels is killing me. I can't seem to get these labels to print right for anything. Everything is always off center and if I don't buy weatherproof paper they smudge and the...

    Clay Masks

    I ended up going with soft and silky emulsifying wax from wsp and btms conditioning wax from bb so we'll see how it goes. I'll update. If anyone has any tips for using these waxes in a product like this, let me know. I use the soft and silly in my sugar scrub but have never used the btms. Also...

    Clay Masks

    I am reformulating my clay masks and I'm having trouble deciding on an emulsifying wax. I have both water and oil in my recipes. Does anyone have any suggestions for what type of emulsifying wax would be best? Does it matter which preservative I use? I'm using optiphen, if it's important.

    Nevermind, I figured it out! Just pop it in the freezer for a bit.

    Wood slab mold issue

    Hi, I bought a great wooden slab mold off of Etsy but I assembled it wrong. I put the bottom acrylic/plastic liner piece inside before lining the mold with parchment paper and now I can remove it. Anyone else ever have this issue? It fit very snugly and I can barely get a butter knife down...

    Color and Vanillin

    Hi! So, does anyone have any experience with coloring soap with a fragrance oil that has a 3% or higher vanillin content? I'm wondering what happens to the colors. Do they darken or do they turn brown and leave no color whatsoever? I know there isn't a exact science when it comes to this...

    Henna tattoos

    Same here! I've been looking for a really good, dark staining powder and the best ones I've tried are found online. I have relatively dark skin so it takes a little more staining power for me to get a long-lasting design, even if I wear and wrap the design for 6-8 hours before removing the...

    Henna tattoos

    I love henna! I do it for myself and friends sometimes. Do you make your own paste?

    Yay!

    And you know what, I have some spearmint and I thought about it but in the end it sort of reminded me too much of gum, lol. I supposed it might have smelled tastier with the anise; maybe that'll be next try. I don't like licorice either, or anise when it comes to food, but for some reason it...

    Yay!

    Thanks! Yes, it's scented with Anise and peppermint eo. It sort of reminds me of a peppermint/chocolate candy.
