    Weird spots on solid conditioner

    Hey, guys! I've made this solid conditioner using my usual recipe, stored it in a cool, clean place, and less than 48 hours later it had those weird spots that, to me, look like a petri dish!! I used 10x orange essential oil and all the other solid conditioners I made the same day (with the...

    Natures Garden FOs scent retention

    Hey, guys! I love NG fragrance oils, and they are in fact cheaper than, say, BB FOs, but I can't make them stick in CP. I haven't had a single one (maybe black raspberry vanilla a bit) lasting more than a week before fading to nothing. I absolutely love Fruity Rings, a best seller for them, but...

    fragrances % question

    Hey guys, What do you do when a fragrance oil discolors the soap, but you want a white/light lets say swirl. Do you up the % of fragrance of the rest of the batter or simply reduce the amount of fragrance oil so the soap will have a milder smell? Thank you!

    Lone Star candle

    Hi, guys! I've been trying to buy from Lone Star for a while now, but I'm almost giving up since they don't ship to my country (which is relatively ok, since UPS can pick up my order there), but they also don't accept international credit cards, only US ones. So what I wanted to know is if...

    Leaking lip balm tube

    Hi, guys, I have a little bit of a problem. I'm trying to make lip balms, but both times I bought tubes (from different suppliers) they leaked bad as soon as I poured. I can't figure what's going on. When the first tubes leaked, I just thought it was bad quality, but this time I bought from the...

    Recipes and scent retention

    I'm relatively new to soapmaking, and I've been frustrated because I can't seem to make almost any FO stick. The other day, I was watching a Royalty Soaps video, and Katie said that so and so recipe had a "great scent retention". And it got me thinking. Is that a thing? And, if it is, which...
