    Glycerin rivers or soap?

    I always use much more yellow unless i am looking for cream - it also depends on the type.

    Fragrance Oil Suppliers Australia

    Do they have CP testing? The prices seem 'too good to be true'?

    Fragrance Oil Suppliers Australia

    What does that mean? Australia isn't in the EU so their regs are different. TY

    CP embeded in MP

    Yes, I have. The only thing I found is not to use old CP because it sucks water out of the MP and over time sort of sinks in. But I had great fun with it, and it worked well :)

    Cube soap (aka **** you BB)

    I was thinking dual use, cubic bath fizzes as well as two color soaps :)

    Silicone Oils?

    Why would you want to include a silicone? I would have thought it would make the bath / shower so slippery to be dangerous? I love it in barrier hand creams and some other products in small amounts, but not soap.

    Tobacco scent? Beau Brummel?

    I pick up tobacco notes in BB Black Tea which might suit :)

    Shelf Life of Creams and Lotions?

    Vitamin E isn't a preservative it's an antioxidant. Try Jen at www.lotioncrafters.com for lots of options.

    My Goats Milk base is vey soft, oily and smells of alcohol

    I had one batch of GM like that once, it was a bit like alcohol, not that pleasant. I was going to bin it, but stuck it at the back of my soap stuff. I dragged it out a year or so later and all the odor had gone. So don't throw it out, just get some more, and let the other one age.

    I found it works in my FBB. Same as in MP. HTH

    Oh Bumbling Bubble Bar

    How frustrating :(. I think the only way to know the answers to the weight questions is to write to Southern Soapers and ask them. I only use percentages in my stuff so I get consistent results. You are right "cups" can vary so much as can tablespoons. Cut your pain and ask them :)

    Pls answer this question!!!

    I never add milk to MP Soap, it will go off. I would be good to make a single bar and watch it but if it is for a present for someone I personally wouldn't make it with any kind of milk. Just buy a goatsmilk base :)

    Is it worth making my own lotion?

    IMO Absolutely. Total control, over costs, what goes in, what stays out, and so many options. You'll need to begin studying labels and ingredients - you can't compare apples and bananas, ya know? They are both fruit, but they aren't the same :) There are some great sites with beginner...

    A word to the wise abt EO and FO's....(and Migranes!)

    Glad you feel better Saylee. Just a warning, Rosemary and Peppermint can give you awful headaches too. Hot soap is like inhaling oils directly from an oil burner. I just stand back whilst I stir and pour.

    Finding Wrap for M&P in Aussie + Shrink Film vs Stretch

    To use the bags efficiently you need an impulse sealer and a hot gun, like Bunnings sell to strip paint. The hair dryer just doesn't get hot enough and you can frazzle the bulky areas. If you don't seal the bags before shrinking you'll never get a nice finish. HTH
