Hi, I have a supplier who has really been very good to me in the past, replacing items that have broken or otherwise not been delivered very quickly and the like. Now I'm finding one of my oxides is short - 1 ounce instead of 2. On the one hand, i paid for it, but on the other hand, I have...

Hi Everyone, I was just using a fragrance from MMS, Raspberry FO, in my 'normal' fair recipe. I've made about 40 kg of this recipe in the last 2 weeks alone, and have a reasonablea how it behaves. Normally, it behaves well. Tonight, I put in the grapeseed and raspberry fragrance, and it...

Hi, the father of a friend of mine regularly spends time in Ghana (I think) helping out, and asked if I could come up with a recipe that would be easy to produce locally, with a distinct lack of specialised equipment like electronic scales. The big obstacle being lack of sodium hydroxide...

Hi everyone... this may be a nonsensical ramble but.... I made a batch of soap a few days ago. Nothing new there mind you, but it was a smallish batch, that I overbeat. I split it into two, added scent and colour, and both decided to seperate in their individual molds on me. Well, all of...

hi everyone, I tend to avoid gel, mainly as I do rtcp. Nothing against gel, just ...well, not really applicable. But I did a hotter batch today, that appears to be doing a partial gel, which I'm also fine with in this particular instance. That got me thinking. I've only had something...

Hi, I'm working on my lip balm and soap labels, (Canada version!) and most of the stuff is pretty close to the UK versions (ok address changes not withstanding) but I'm confused on a few small points. 1) Where is the accent in the french for ingredients? I've googled and come up with three...
