soapmaking equipment Hi Carebear, I live on the very west coast of Canada in B.C. I haven't figured out a price yet but it will be very cheap! I just want someone else to be able to get some use of it. Let me know which items you are interested in. I have a 3lb wooden soap mold with wooden...

Hi everyone, Is anyone looking for soapmaking equipment? I am selling my almost new National shrinkwrap system, wooden soap mold and cutter and several plastic molds. If you are interested let me know. Or, if you know where the best place to sell is please let me know. Ebay? I can't make...

thanks Pauline, what is the best container to put it in?

does anyone have a recipe for men's shaving soap. also, does anyone know of a supplier for inexpensive mugs or wooden bowls to pour into??

labels I'm making 2 doz lip balms at a time. It would be way too time consuming to cut out each label. I found the exact size on Online Labels -they actually have a 'lip balm tube' sized label.

labels thanks for all the tips. Jarvan- what is Rustic elements?

Hi Stinky! I have been going back and forth with my crafts but the soap always draws me back! I set up at my farmers market every Sat. and it seems the soapmakers and jam or food vendors always have good sales. I sell my bars for $5 or 5 for $20.

lip balm labels Thanks, Irishlass! I have only been making lip balms in little jars because of the labelling problem. I know I can sell more if I do them up in tubes! I'm not sure if you are using labels that are designed for the exact size or are you cutting them out from a full sheet? Also...

labels I have been making my own labels too but am having a terrible time finding the right size for lip balm tubes. Do you know?

No. I mean going commercial. ie. getting a company to manufacture soaps for me with my own label. I would move from selling at farmers markets to being a wholesaler.

Does anyone have any experience with going 'private label'? I am at the point where I can't do it all myself and I have to either find a space to make lots of soap and hire staff or just get it made for me. I've checked out a few companies but would love to hear from anyone who knows the...

how do you make saltwater soap? I'm thinking of a soap to sell to boaters!

I just bought some Neem oil. Can anyone tell me what to do with it? Is it suppose to smell so strange? I had planned on using it in a salve recipe. Thoughts?

do you use fo or eo? and which supplier? I ordered 'sensual sandalwood' from Voyageur and mixed it with cinnamon which turned out nice

thanks. I love those boxes. It looks like you could place a sticker on the top flap with a logo or other info.

I set up at a farmer's market and am looking for a better way of displaying my soaps. I would like to find a box (kraft) that is both a display and carrying case to streamline the packing and unpacking process. Ideas?

I like po, co, oo, and sunflower o. I haven't tried shea or cocoa yet. I'd also like to try that easy 'crisco' recipe! I was worried about using the po because of deforestation etc. but I still have about 20 lbs of it left so I'll use it up and see.

I have recently ordered from New Directions and Voyageur with good results.

you're right. by the way, have you heard of adding orris root powder to soap to help hold the scent?

Yes! it did fade. I've taken your advice and have started to add 1 oz. per lb. At first it seems like too much but it settles after a few days. Thanks
