Just thought I'd pass this along - soapalooza is having a free shipping sale - code HOTFUZZ until the 31st. :)

This may already be popular knowledge, but I was quite excited when I was wandering through Trader Joe's this morning and discovered a 4 oz bottle of 100% jojoba oil for $7.99. I double checked the label, and the only ingredients were jojoba oil, and its about the same price as 4 oz at BB (only...

Okay, so I placed an order with BB but totally didn't realize I needed Shea Butter and arrowroot powder. Their shipping takes so long, I need it a little faster (there's also already been issues with this order on UPS side, and I just want the first order to get here someday!). I'm in VA (If...

Hello! So, I've been making my own lip balm for three or four years. I don't care for flavored balms, but a friend asked me if I would make her a few in a flavor. I also make candy (not at the same time, lol) so I have a lot of the flavor oils. Will these work, with a little stevia...

I'm not sure if this is quite the right place for all these questions, but I hope so! Some friends who work in a thrift store got a box of soaping supplies donated and saved them for me - it was full of some great things! 5 BB scents, BB lye (there is red crown as well, but with the issues...

Has anyone used Soapapalooza fragrances before? I was quite excited to find something that's pretty much local, but I wanted to see if anyone has used them before I try and buy anything. Any information is much appreciated!

So, I've got a set of rose scented soaps I made yesterday evening, and I unmolded on (I'm impatient, I know) and it appears that it partially gelled, even though I was hoping it wouldn't and left it out in the open to try and prevent it. I've never tried CPOP - can I do it even though the...

Wow that's a lot of abbreviations in the title! Sorry! I've been using this type of M&P base and I really love it. BUT - Brambleberry and Bulk Apothecary are where I have bought it, and they seem to take FOREVER to ship to me. Does anyone have any other places that sell this for a comparable...

I'm making some body powders for Christmas gifts, and I'm looking for containers. I wanted to get something that would have the fuzzy puff and then a container it and the powder fits in (or at this point even separate as long as they fit). I could also do a shaker container if that's all I can...

So I saw these shot glass silicone molds and decided they needed to become soap. Here's the first experiment. Not thrilled with the "chocolate" portion, and I need to fix a few things (bubbles, piping, etc), but not too bad for the two testers! They're Peppermint Hot Chocolate soap shots -...

Okay. I want to try making salt bars this weekend. I have a recipe, but I'm questioning part of the directions. Those of you who've made these, is the cure time right? It is for a 2# loaf, which I figured would work since I haven't made them before. Small is good. Recipe (from Everything...

I've been testing some of the soaps I've made, and I've been really happy thus far. BUT, I took a bar to work. It seemed slippery, and hard to get it all off. So I thought maybe an additive I put in the bar (Its CP) was to blame, even though the other half of the batch worked beauitfully at...

Okay, I'm looking for some help! I've been trying to make a lotion that I like for the last three years. I've found things that work, but they are so heavy I can't wear them except at night. So, does anyone have a recipe they'd be willing to share for something light that is more the...

Made some of these today - I'm quite pleased with how they turned out! They're vanilla scented. They're clear glycerin (Going to make the next batch with goats milk M&P) so they're a bit hard so see - hence the tin background.

Ok. I would like to make some cupcake soaps, and I'm planning to make some CP ones, but I wondered if there is a way to make the frosting from M&P or if it has to have the foaming soap in it. I hope that question makes sense - its a bit late and I'm not sure I am!

Today I tried a swirl (and made sure I put ALL the ingredients in!). Here's the inital pic of the soap - I wish now I'd only used one color, as the second got more blue grey than I intended. It also accelerated quickly, so I'm not sure how well it swirled, but tomorrow, we will see! (sorry...

So here's a question - if I'm rebatching a soap I missed an ingredient in, I'll add in the missing ingredient, but can I also add in a little milk too, or would it be too much liquid? Its been sitting for about 3 days, so its still pretty fresh. I went today and found an insert at the thrift...

Hello! So, I'm kind of addicted to the whole soaping thing. I'm contemplating opening a business at some point (though not yet - not even close!). I have a lot of things to do first. Learn more, set up a website and etc. But I did make myself a logo and name, so I can at least post on...

Even though my CP soaping today was a fail, I made this M&P and got to play with new micas and a scent I blended. I wanted to make something mimosa scented, so I blended Champagne and Orange Grove FOs. To be honest, I'm not sure I like the scent, but my first set of "sniffers" thought it was...

Okay. I've googled my heart out, but I haven't found anything. So I thought I'd ask the lovely people here! I'm on the hunt for a copycat scent of BBW Sky fragrance. I love that stuff, and I'd be SO EXCITED if I could find one that matches. I'm nowhere close to good enough to try and mix...
