    How quickly did you start

    I read and watched lots of articles and videos before committing to make my first batch. I gathered all the supplies that I need and come up with a learning plan for myself. My first batch was 100% coconut oil (just to keep everything simple) using hot process. I later found out 100% coconut...

    Economical and eco friendly packaging

    I am the same, I want zero waste packaging. Instead of glue, you can use rice and a bit water — natural glue.
