I have been making goat milk soap and lotion for about 6 years now. This year I am wanting to add a few new things. Body Spray, a liquid soap (pre made base as I have not been able to master that one for some reason :( ) I am also thinking of adding a wickles/flameless candle so I can do sets...
I have been using FO from Natures Garden. I have been having trouble with it staying in my soaps. As my soaps age the FO leaves. Also with my lotions It smells good but after you put it on then it doesn't last very long or even changes the fo smell. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Ok for the life of me I can not get liquid soap to come out right. I do just fine with bar soap. The last batch I made several months ago separated. It has a dark caramel on the bottom that seems to stay half way liquid and the top is firm and lighter colored. I even ran it through the blender...
I like using Vitamin E but it is expensive and hard to find that isn't really really expensive. What would be a good oil to use in its place?
Thanks

Ok I have made my lip balm with bees wax. But it is a little softer than I like. It also doesn't last on your lips. If I add more bees wax will that help?
Thanks

Have any of you used Wellington Fragrances? Did you like them? I am needing to order FO's and they are pretty much cheaper than anyone else.
I also order from NaturesGardencandles. Do you have any other suggestions.
Thanks

What if anything can I use beside Emulsifying Wax? Will bee's wax work. I am out and don't have time to get it ordered? I am also using goats milk.
thanks
I made a batch of liquid soap but am having trouble. I followed Snow Drift farms directions. I used a different recipe. Also used goats milk. It turned brown like they said it would but I can not get it to become transparent. It stays a brown color. It traced good. I cooked it in a double pan...
I have been having trouble with the last couple batches of my lotion. It isn't all the batch just 1 or 2 bottles that developed mold on them after about 2 to 3 weeks. I use Germaben II as my preservative. I haven’t had this problem before with the same recipe. Do I need something else?
Could...
Would anyone that is selling lotion, body cream etc. be willing to send me a picture of their lables? I would like to see how you are doing it to make sure I understand right.
thanks

I would like to make some liquid goats milk soap, shampoo, body wash. Does anyone have a recipe they would be willing to share or know where I can find one? Thanks
Paula
Ok. I have found some FOs that say
" For use in candles, potpourri, incense, bath and body products, melt-n-pour soap" does that mean you can't use them in CP? What is the difference in the Fos for melt & pour over CP? Thank you for your help.
Paula
Can any one tell me where I can find some lotion recipes that use goats milk? Also is there any body butters or cream recipes that use goats milk?
thanks
Paula
