    Avocado Astringent

    I had a client who asked me to make her some avocado astringent. I'm guessing that it's not avocado oil, right? Anyone have a recipe for this? Surely it wouldn't keep if it was real avocado. Thanks. Vickie

    Looking for small tea bags

    I have a couple suppliers that have small tea bags that you iron shut, however, it's the only supply I need right now and the shipping is outrageous. Does anyone know of a supplier that will ship that 1st class mail? Thanks. Vickie

    What are your customer's favorite scents and combos?

    I need to stay away from florals (because I'm allergic), but I'm having a hard time coming up with a variety of scents. I have boosted vanilla, but it's just not strong enough. I'm left with citrus scents and mint scents. Am I missing anything? I have patchouli and cedarwood and some other...

    Lotion bars end up with holes!

    I put my lotion bars in twist up tubes. The first time I did it, everything went fine, but ever since then (and I've made about 4 batches), I get a hole in the center. So, hen I chop of the top and melt some more and patch the top. Ugh. What am I doing wrong? I have no idea what I did...

    Labelling containers with .5 oz lotion

    I know I read somewhere, (but can't find it) that under a certain weight, you didn't need to include it on the label. Was it .5 ounces? So if it's .5 or less, I can leave it off the label or is it that it has to be under .5 (like .49999) oz to qualify not to need it? Vickie

    Reasonable Shipping Costs

    I've looked online and noticed that people who sell on sites like Etsy or 1000markets are shipping their lotions (even the ones in jars) for $3.00 domestic. How in the world are they doing that? Padded envelopes? I am scared to do that. However, if my shipping costs are too high compared to...

    EO's scent in shea butter

    I do not want to use frangrance oils in my products, only EO's. My problem is that many oils seem not to be as pungent as I'd hoped. I end up using a lot AND they don't always smell the way I think they should. For example juniperberry doesn't smell like a berry at all. How much should I be...

    What carrier oil for roll on?

    I have a mix of EO's for migrains that I would like to put in a roll-on bottle. What carrier oil should I use? I want something light, not smelly, but won't clog the roller.... you know, like you use it once and the next time you use it a week later, the oil is a dried, sticky mess. (I have...

    introduction from Michigan

    Hi, My name is Vickie Gould and I just became a member yesterday. I started making lotions/massage oil, etc when I was diagnosed with arthritis and potentially lupus a couple months ago. I hate using "unnatural" ingredients and have been on a homeopathic route for a while now, so it was...

    I seem to get dimples in my lotion bar tubes as my liquid turns into a solid. How do I fix that? I'd like it to look at least flat, if not rounded. Thanks. Vickie
