    WSPs sale, another hoax?

    I agree completely! I had gotten lazy and was buying from them until I realized how much everything had gone up. I then did some checking around and (woah!) I was overpaying for almost everything! Thanks WSP for opening my eyes!

    Tell me how you like my new website!

    I think it's beautiful. Very easy to navigate. One suggestion: on the soap page the link for the last set is off in the red section. Maybe someone already mentioned this, but I didn't see it. Your soaps are really pretty. Stacie

    What causes this white crumbly stuff?

    Thank you, I will try that. Plus, I made a batch today and heated up the hard oils separately as suggested earlier. So far, so good...

    What causes this white crumbly stuff?

    Well, it's not temperature because I just made two batches and carefully measured to make sure everything was just about 100 degrees, and I still got it! For me it seems to go in streaks, so I am leaning toward either bad lye or thinking that it could be a vein of stearic acic in my palm oil or...

    What causes this white crumbly stuff?

    This is so interesting. I don't know what it is, but I really appreciate everyone chiming in with their experiences. We keep eliminating things, so what is it?

    What causes this white crumbly stuff?

    I hate to even say this, but I have been really lazy lately and not measuring the temperature. I just touch the side of the container and gauge it by how long it has been. I wonder if that's it... I hate to blame it on the Gremlins because if I can figure out what it is, I WILL PREVAIL...

    What causes this white crumbly stuff?

    I am using EOs. One batch that has been victim 3 or 4 times is a lemongrass & litsea batch. This one was Frankincense & Myrrh, and yet another batch this happened to was unscented. So???? I bought these EOs from MMS and WSP. Keep your ideas coming, please. I am desperate to find a...

    Hmmm... Here are the %, does this sound too high? OO - 31% PO - 29% CO - 28% Shea - 7% Castor - 5%

    What causes this white crumbly stuff?

    Could this be temps? The recipe is the same that I have been using on hundreds of batches, so I'm not convinced it could be related to that. It's just OO, PO, CO, Shea & Castor - nothing too fancy or complicated. I'm using distilled water, and using the same supplier. Plus, last week I...

    What causes this white crumbly stuff?

    Do you know what causes this, and even more importantly what can prevent this from happening? I have had several batches ruined in the past 3-4 months with this, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Uploaded with ImageShack.us The corners and bottom are mostly affected, but...

    Spiders

    If that's the case, I just don't see how Kitn fits into what would be banned. She was always so helpful to me in the forum and via pm. It makes me sad.

    what did anyone make this weekend??

    This morning I tried a peppermint soap with ground madder root infused oil for a red swirl. My fingers are crossed, it looks pretty on the top. Stacie

    Oatmeal Honey Soap Help?? Suggestions

    I love to make honey and oatmeal soap too. One hint I'd give you is to be sure to grind up the oatmeal more than you think you'll need to because it gets a little rough if it's not ground enough. Stacie

    Charging taxes on wholesale

    By the way, congratulations on getting that account. I remember when you asked a question about pricing, and it looks like you've figured that out. How many soaps will be they ordering every month? Stacie

    anyone with milk allergies?

    My son is allergic to dairy, soy, eggs, wheat, and peanuts. We found out when he was about three years old and living on Mac n' cheese, yogurt, and pizza. It was a HUGE bummer, so I truly sympathize with you. We knew he had problems with milk because at age one we introduced cow's milk and...
