Customer service? Samples? Shipping prices and speed? Do they use plastic or glass? Anything else I need to know? (abbreviated because I'm typing on my mobile device)

I just soaped with BB's Peppermint EO (2nd Dist) and I've never used EO's before. I've also been thinking about ordering some Lavender 40/42 and have been reading up on that one. Well, I used BB's fragrance calculator to determine how much to use which was almost 2 oz for my 46 oz oil batch...

I've made soap with 100% CO with 20% SF I've made soap with 80% CO 20% Mango Butter with 20% SF And I like them ok but it's just not quite what I'm looking for. And I've been experimenting forever with a 5 oil recipe that contains Palm, OO, CO, Mango Butter and Castor. I tweak it to...

I'm trying to decide between purchasing Brambleberry's "Arabian Spice" or The Scent Works "Tibetan Teagarden". Is there any chance someone here has tried both and can compare/contrast the two regarding how they smell? I know it's probably a long shot...but hey I'm feeling froggy. :lol: zeo

Hi everybody! Sorry that I sort of dropped off the face of the earth. I stopped making soap last Fall and it's so hard for me to read message boards when I'm not into something at the moment. I figured out that I don't like selling for a profit. It's just not for me. But I have become...

Aren't you stationed at Fort Hood?

If you're in the market for a soap mold, I high recommend Woodfield's! As some of you know, I started out with the TOG molds that came with something called "silicone-like liners". I won't rehash the details here but in summary, I would be remiss in not saying the product and customer...

(content deleted by admin-SMF) I've switched completely to Woodfield's (review coming soon) and I couldn't be happier! zeo

OMG! I've always gotten tickled at people who admit to getting their soap in the mold and realizing they forgot their fragrance. I couldn't imagine, for the life of me, how that could happen. Now I know. :oops: I was GOING to make a batch of Black Raspberry Vanilla. I had all my...

I can really tell a difference. Can you? zeo

I know people swear by Goat Milk but honestly? Is adding that any different than upping your SF a little more? Assuming you've got a great recipe to begin with of course. zeo

I know we can make them with whatever scent our heart desires, but I'm just curious what your favorites are? Or your soap recipients/customers...what do they like the best? To me, there are some scents that just seem too odd for a salt bar....like sugary sweet stuff. The first batch I did...

I'm still trying to guess at why I have gel problems. Even heavy insulation doesn't always work. And if it DOES gel, it's usually not until 12 or more hours later. So I'm currenly doing CPOP to force gel. But I don't really like the outside texture of the soap (the parts that touch the...

The purple was a floral blend that didn't come out right so I shaved it up and put it in this white soap (1.5 tsp TD ppo) that is scented with Bramble Berry's Fresh Snow. I'm happy with it enough to actually post the picture! Thanks for looking. :-) zeo

I always have my packages shipped to work so that nothing has to sit out in the heat waiting on me at home. I FINALLY decided about the Coconut 92 and placed my order with Columbus Foods for the big 50 lb cube of it plus a 10lb cube of Mango Butter. But I totally forgot about the holiday...

I just got the new iPhone last week and now I'm on Twitter. I like it so much more than Facebook. I've heard Twitter described as micro-blogging and I think that term fits it perfectly! I go by the same screen name there as here, if you want to add me. zeoplum

I'm interested in real life experience and also if there is any documentation other than single oil soap experiments. Thanks, zeo

I understand it has the same SAP value as 76 degree melt and that you may have to work a little harder at getting it broken up. But other than that, is there anything else to take into consideration? Coconut 76 is my least favorite oil to work with. We keep the temp in our house between 72...

Just wanted to follow up about the Salt Bar I made with only 50% salt. I finally tested it and I wasn't all that wow'd by it. The stuff I've tried (that I bought on Etsy) made with full salt was MUCH more exciting. Just sharing in for those who've only made it with 50% salt. If you get a...
