I have seen some stain sticks for sale on etsy which just appear to be cp soap poured into a deodorant tube....has anyone tried this? Does it have any other ingredients?

Thanks those are helpful, but I was really wanting to scent this gallon all the same and pump each order straight into my container from the gallon jug. I guess I will just have to dump it all out and scent and then replace it into the gallon jug. I just thought someone might have a handy tip...

I bought some lotion base which came in a gallon jug. I want to scent it with essential oils without too much exposure to contaminants. Is there a way I am overlooking other than pouring it all out into another container adding the eo and stirring before returning to the jug again? It just...

I was afraid of that. I just wanted to ask before I ordered any of those pumps....they are pretty pricey and I don't have much experience with them! I will just stick to jars. Thanks.

Has anyone tried packaging their whipped shea butter in one of those airless pump containers? I wanted to package some like that to put into some gift baskets for my kids teachers. Just wondered if it would work or maybe it would be too thick.

My husband asked me if I could put any additive into my lip balm to give it any SPF? I make lip balm just for our family and give out a few as gifts and I have heard you can't claim it to have a certain SPF if you sell it, so this wont be a problem. Do I have to modify my current recipe, or...

Awesome! Thanks so much for the link. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Does anyone know of a source for those flexable soft pouches that have a screw on lid? Similar to this: http://www.google.com/products/catalog? ... CHAQ8gIwAg I think they would be fantastic for shipping liquid soap, conditioner, body wash, etc. I just have not seen a source to purchase...

The soap is probably a year old. Is it ready when it reaches the "mashed potatoes consistency?"

I am wanting to try re-batching some bars of soap that didn't turn out of the mold pretty along with some scraps from trimming. Somewhere i wrote down a simple way to do this and now for the life of me, I cannot find the directions! I do remember that you grate the soap up and place it into an...

I think I will try this again when the weather cools off some! I did notice that this recipe is still pretty greasy. Can I add more cornstarch to help? I am trying to use what I have on hand. I know the recipe on the link also calls for silica powder, but I don't have any of that. All I...

Thanks TJ. I will put it into the fridge for a while and see if that helps. So, is this product more like "lotion" in hot weather? I guess i had in mind that it would be sort of the consistency of a thick cream. I wanted to give to my family as a gift and ordered some little 4 oz jars, but...

I am trying to make some whipped shea butter and I have cooled in the fridge, whipped it, cooled more and whipped it....over and over and it is not getting very thick. Only runny! What have I done wrong? Following is the recipe I used: 11 weighed oz shea butter 2 oz grapeseed oil 2 oz...

I watched the video about making the whipped shea butter but was wondering why it calls for unrefined shea butter? I have refined shea butter in my closet right now....would that work also? What would the difference be?

I am looking for a clear container that I can put my gardeners soaps into. I wrap them in clear wrap first and then want to put them into something to help protect them more than anything from damage while shipping or while on display. Ideally a very "cheap" option! it would need to be 2.5"...

Thanks for the suggestions! I mixed up some and it just looks gross until you shake it up. It contains witch hazel, aloe juice, zinc oxide, vegetable gylcerine and essential oils. Could I add a little tinosin to this for added deodorant benefit and as my preservative? I am just making this...

I am going to try a spray deodorant I found in a book which contains some zinc oxide. Is there anything I can add to this to keep the zinc oxide incorporated in the mix so that I don't have to shake it each time? Would polysorbate 20 work? If so, how much do I add?

I am looking to add some different things to a gift basket I am making for a friend. Most of the bath beads I have seen or used were very strongly perfumed and usually made me sneeze! Is there such a thing as bath oil beads which are scented with essential oils and not fragrance oils? Does...

Were those lables vinyl that you used in your laser printer? I have heard those will melt inside your printer. Just curious because I would like to try it, but sure dont want to ruin my laser printer. I just recently got one and my husband wouldn't be too happy with me if I ruined it!
