    INCI for Tahitian Sunrise colorant from Oregon Trails

    I can't find anything on their site that gives INCI for colorants. I e-mailed twice asking for the INCI for the Tahitian Sunrise Bright Colorant and got no response. Short of telephoning them....by any chance does someone have it?

    Question on Sodium Lactate

    I used SL for the first time yesterday and I have to say it was a great experience. I used it at 1% of total recipe weight and cut chocolate goat's milk soap this morning a full 24 hours or more before I would have been able to otherwise. My question is for those who use it, do you notice...

    Just venting...

    Why is it that every time my web host updates something, my site editor doesn't work. I'm getting sick of this. They accuse me of fiddling with the code. HA. I couldn't do code if I tried and don't even go there. I'm trying to remind myself that it's cheap and I don't need any more...

    So, it's 2 a.m. and here I sit...

    Why is it that when I'm really tired and should go to bed, I sit down and cruise the Forum instead? Bad bad me. I wish you people weren't so interesting!!!!

    WooHoo! My dog soap's name is now a registered trademark!

    Got my certificate of registration yesterday for the name of my dog soap, and just HAD to tell someone! I don't know why this thrills me so much; guess life is dull around here!

    Fleurs d'Oranger from Snowdrift

    Arghhh...one of my best sellers. I'm almost out, and I know I've seen chatter on some really bad orange blossom FOs. Anyone have a favorite recommendation? I need phthalate-free.

    ?? FO Types - Raffinee and E Armani Diamonds

    These don't exist as far as I can tell. Hoping someone has found them or at least a good "close to" fragrance. Anyone?

    Cyphre Rose FO

    Anyone know of a substitute for Cyphre Rose FO that Southern Soapers sold? It's been a huge seller for me and I'm quickly reaching the end of my bottle. :(

    Where to get lye in Cameroon

    Yep...not kidding....I'm teaching a lady from Cameroon to soap. She wants to go back to her country and make soap; she says it's needed in her town. Does anyone know (any West African soapers out there?!?!) where she could get lye in her country?

    Alcohol and Ash - Took a pic

    Using alcohol to clean ash has been discussed a lot, but I had my camera out so I took a quick pic of a cherry-almond soap I cleaned up today. Now if alcohol could just get rid of the bubbles I got in this batch, life would be perfect. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    Why Do I Have to Abide by FDA Rules....

    I just got home from our local grocery store and I'm really perplexed. Why can a (big) company market bath products without labeling them at all? The products are obviously NOT soap, yet there not only is no ingredient listing, but there are no labels. Can someone explain to me what it is...

    The city is in shock today. There was a shooting at a local high school not far from our home. A very troubled young man shot and killed the assistant principal and wounded the principal before taking his own life. He left a suicide note, but it really gave no concrete reason for his actions...

    Converting Ounces to Grams

    I have a formulation that calls for 4.5 ounces of an oil, and says the gram conversion is 135 grams. When I checked that on my conversion calculator, it said 128 grams. Anyone know which one is more accurate, and have a recommendation on the most accurate conversion calculator?

    Anyone want Pearl Yellow and/or Pearl Blue from TKB?

    I goofed in my last mica order from TKB and bought an ounce each of Pearl Yellow and Pearl Blue. I can't use them because they contain parabens. I'll send them gratis to the first person who PMs me their address. Hate to waste them. DISCLAIMER: SMF is not responsible for any sale, trade...

    ATTENTION AROMATHERAPY EXPERTS....

    I've been asked by one of our hospital birthing centers to make solid scent sticks for women in labor, intended to help them relax. They would be smelling/sniffing these, not applying them to the body. I'm in the process of doing some research, but in the meantime I know we have some experts...

    So....how do you keep down the panic

    Hey, I'm feeling a little panicky over the seasonal increase in business. Any secrets to getting through your first holiday season when you're a one-person band? Not complaining about the business, of course...I know I'll be sitting here doing nothing much but soaping in January, but in the...
