    How many butter and oils can you use in body butter?

    I went ahead and made some yesterday with the 4 butters + 3 oils, since there were no replies at that time and I needed to get it made. It turned out well. Consistency was good.

    How many butter and oils can you use in body butter?

    Can one use too many different butters and oils? Most recipes that I have seen use 2-3 butters at most with 1 oil. Would it be alright to combine more butters and oils? Only problem is...I would not know how to predict the hardness with 3-4 different butters. I am considering using...

    Question about shrink-wrapping soap

    Thx, Spice! I would think that the saran wrap would be just as air-tight as shrink wrap....will not allow it to breathe. I have not tried the bands, but I cut down a shrink wrap bag to simulate a wrap and it did not do well at all!!! It just curled up away from the ends of the soap!!

    Question about shrink-wrapping soap

    Thx, Spice! How do you seal it? What does the back look like? I learned that goat milk soap cannot be shrink-wrapped. I was told by "National Shrink Wrap" that it will go rancid without air circulation...that it is best to use perforated shrink wrap. Now, I understand why I have seen so...

    I did tell him that I had been discussing this on a forum and that many were calling it "false advertising" and that it would not look good for them to keep this page as is.

    They have been a good company to work with so far. Once, I got some bad shea butter and they sent me another one right away.

    Something to make honeysuckle smell better?

    I just called and "spoke" to them about it. The service rep agreed with me that it was misleading and said that he would tell upper management about it. They are sending me a return label. I will be GLAD to see it go!!! I have it sitting in the garage since last night, because even walking...

    Something to make honeysuckle smell better?

    What??!! It IS misleading!! I just looked at the label, and it said, "Essential Oil" in large letters, then a tiny "synthetic!" How can an EO be synthetic??!! I did not read the description on the site because I assumed that an EO was a true EO!! No wonder it turned me inside out!! I can't...

    Soap cutter advice needed

    Thank you!! This is bud's, correct? What is the price on his? I see that this one does not shave off the ends like the ED one does. Is it necessary to cut off the ends? I would think that it would make for a nicer end pieces....but then there would be some waste....

    Something to make honeysuckle smell better?

    We have honeysuckles on our property and it always smells so nice, so I bought some honeysuckle EO from Bulk Apothecary. Wow! It smells awful!! Soooo disappointed!!! Yes, it smells like honeysuckle somewhat, but more like the strong perfume scratch scents that you get in the magazines! They...
