Hi everyone! I'm making a new collection at my daughter's request. She's very into earthy, witchy, new-age-y, astrology, crystalogy stuff, etc etc... So we thought it would be fun to do a collection around this theme. I have a pretty dang big collection of scents, but I'm lacking in anything...

I was on the Lotion Crafter website recently and came across their Leucidal preservatives. This was the first I've heard of these, but I'm very intrigued by the fact that they are naturally derived and do not include parabens, formaldehyde, or phenoxyethanol. I would love to move to a more...

Hi everyone! I’m thinking about switching from micas to water soluble dyes for my bath bombs, bubble bars, and whipped scrub so that I can get more vivid colors and stop using Poly 80. But here’s my question. To use water soluble dyes, I know you have to “bloom” them by mixing them in water...

Hi everyone! My daughter and I are going to try our hand at making some powdered clay masks (that we'll add water or yogurt to each time we use it). We have all sorts of different clays, some activated charcoal, powdered goat's milk, and powdered fruit, vegetable, and flower extracts to mix in...

Hello, everyone! This week, I am planning on making up a big batch of my own foaming bath butter base, so that I can stop buying it from elsewhere (that stuff is expensive, but it's also my family's favorite all-time soap). Since I won't be using it all at once but rather pulling it out to use...

Hi everyone! *waves* My daughter and I have the worst winter chapped lips right now (owww!), so we decided lip balm would be our newest project. My daughter is also going to give some out to her friends for Valentine's Day, so we decided to do a few different "flavors." We purchased and...

Hi all! I made a batch of emulsified sugar scrub last night. They looked absolutely perfect when I put on the lids and put them away for the night. This morning, I noticed that a couple of them had a small amount of oil that had leaked out around the top. I took off the lid to clean off the...

G'day! :) I would like to print labels at home for the scrubs my daughter and I have been making for friends and family We bought 4 oz jars, and the available space for a label to fit would be a maximum width of 1 5/8 (or 1 1/2) and a length of 2.5 or 3" length. I have used Avery's design...

Hello everyone! I'd really love some input on this. This past weekend, my daughter and I made our first emulsified sugar scrub. All in all, it turned out okay, but I'm a little disappointed in how moisturizing it felt, both while using it, and after I got out of the shower. Maybe it's just...

Hi there, everyone! My name is Stacie, and I've been a lurker for quite a while now. My daughter and I love crafting together, so we make bath and body products for ourselves and friends (mainly bath bombs, shower fizzies, and sugar scrubs). We've tried the regular "oily" scrubs as well as the...

Hi everyone! May I ask...what’s a good way to store bath bombs after making them and before you sell/give them away? My daughter has begun making bath bombs to sell to friends and family as a fundraiser for an event she’s trying to go to. She’s trying to make up quite a stash of these in...
