    FO weeping/seepage issues...I've tried everything!

    Hi all! I am beating my head against the wall lately with seepage/weeping issues. I have been troubleshooting with one of the big wax/candle supply distributors and feel strongly that I have received sound advice. But still, I see issues with my latest batch and am remiss to understand...

    Body Butter-Lid Condensation

    Thanks Muskette. I did have my formulation run through a common usage test so I am confident in my preservative level and I am testing each batch at home as well. My concern is if the condensation forms once it arrives at one of my retail locations since I certainly don't want them opening and...

    Body Butter-Lid Condensation

    Thanks to everyone! I just checked again and see some more condensation forming on the lids. I do have adequate preservative in the mix, but my understanding is that the condensation would not contain preservatives and therefore would allow for bacterial growth. Yes? I just don't want...

    Body Butter-Lid Condensation

    Help! Strange Discoloration Situation!

    So this is an image of the worst one. The orange at the top is a honey swirl. Both batches were poured mid-December, so yes, it could have been cold in here. But for reference: on my goat milk soap, I actually freeze the mold and place the freshly poured soap back in the freezer for a few...

    Help! Strange Discoloration Situation!

    Hi all! Long time forum stalker, first time poster. I finally have a question that I just can't find an answer to anywhere else! I have a soap company and run an average of 300-400 CP bars per month. I am well-versed in most common problems, but am curious what has happened to two recent...
