Hi everyone...I was able to order from Daystar today and I was wondering if anyone else had recently placed an order. Stacy seems to be open for business and her site worked well. I used to make a Beach blend that contains some of her Salty Sailor and Paradise so I gave it a try. I've been...

You might remember I posted about a couple of difficult fragrances that I can’t do without because they are so darned popular! I dread them like crazy! French Gardenia is a lovely fragrance from WSP that accelerates and rices every single time. I've been able to deal with the very fast trace...

Hi, I seem to have a couple of "can't do without" fragrances that rice. I hate them! But my customers love them. I understand that some of the problem is my favorite formula for these particular customers is a little high on butters...and some fragrance particles attach themselves to those...

This summer I’ve been getting requests for florals. More often than not I’ve been ordering fragrance and oils from WSP. I wanted to try an Osmanthus scent, so I bought Plum Rain from WSP. The scent to my nose was so light I really couldn’t tell anything about it. The Osmanthus from MMS was much...

Hi...I"m looking for a scent like Endless Summer from TSW. Does anyone know if anyone ever made a dup...or something that's pretty close or maybe just a favorite beach type scent. I love Salty Sailor but I've sworn off...at least for the present, on banging my head on that one. Thanks, Jan

Has anyone had experience using gromwell root in soap. It seems that in a crazy moment I bought some CO2 extract from The Herbarie. Paid way too much shipping and of course never used it. I hate when I do that! So, I know that usage is 0.04% to 1.0%. That it colors the soap magenta and probably...

Hi! I love the smell of fresh cucumber! It's really my favorite scent! I’m having trouble finding a really great cucumber fragrance that sticks…just a straight cucumber scent with no other fruits or floral notes. Most of the ones I’ve tried start out wonderful and strong but quickly fade to...

Hi, I have a question about clays. Is there a difference in clays and where you buy them? I have a pink and a rose clay that I bought from FNWL. The pink gives me a terra cotta orange brown and the rose a kind of brick brown. If I use less it’s just a lighter version of the same but defiantly...

I’m hoping someone has the answer to my problem…I think I’m becoming obsessed! I have a problem with scratchy avocado puree. I know, I’m embarrassed…how can this be? I’ve tried to blame it on everything else, but it only happens when I add it to my formula. I've scooped it, mashed it and stick...

I’m hoping someone can answer a question for me. I’ve been soaping for the last couple of weeks the same recipe and the same fragrance. Everything has been fine until this last batch. The surface of most of the bars have a powdery residue…Not an even all over coat but it looks kind of like if I...

So, I’ve been looking for a really nice green type fragrance. I tried tall grass from Peak...nice, but it smelled more like hay than green grass. Yesterday, I tried Green Clover & Aloe from Common Scents. Smells okay, but boy did it move fast. I use a cold process goat milk recipe that always...

Hi, everyone I need to buy a new scale. First, I guess I'd better say that since I don't sell, my batches are relatively small. So, max weight doesn't seem to be a problem. It's the increments that I'm worried about. The wonderful scales on Lotioncrafter with the ability to read 2600x 0.1...

When I was young, at Christmas time, my mother used to wear a fragrance called Nuit de Noel. Lovely, romantic floral heart notes of rose, jasmine and ylang ylang accented with cinnamon and cloves. Base notes of oakmoss intertwining with sandalwood and vetiver. Legend has it that Ernest Daltroff...

Hello, everyone! I've never tried to post anything before...hopefully this will work... I wanted to thank you all for solving a problem that has really been driving me crazy for the last year. I wanted to make a recipe for a very moisturizing goat milk soap. Simple, right? My first batch was...
