    Does anyone have a good source for Natrasorb?

    Everywhere I've checked, shipping is the deal breaker - often costing more than the actual product.

    Elusive Cucumber FO

    I've tried sooo many Cucumber FOs and have yet to find a really good single-note cucumber scent that survives in CP. At the moment NS Cucumber Melon is the best I've found, but I would like more of a fresh cucumber scent. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Have Y'all Seen This??!!

    Apparently The Wooden Wick Co (now Makesy) is jumping hard into CP soaping supplies. I think what really cheeses my grits is that they keep repeating that their CP formula is safe to use after 48 hours. Well duh...so is everyone else's. The disregard for the quality of the soap we share or sell...

    Road Rage? Insurance Fraud Attempt? Who even does this stuff???

    First let me say that that I work in a busy hospital and I try to reduce stress outside of my job any way that I can! I have a 48 mile commute to work and I make it slightly longer by choosing to take 2-lane country roads rather than the highway. I prefer the beautiful scenery and less traffic...

    I've Gone Down The Foiling Rabbit Hole!

    If you know me from prior posts over the years then you know I'm very particular about my packaging/branding/booth display. If you don't, then suffice it to say that I tend to be a little 'over the top' - I have a mini chandelier in my booth if that tells you anything. Per foiling...I switched...

    Anyone try Oats Overnight? Do you like it? Tips/Tricks?

    I don't mean overnight oats recipes, but the company Oats Overnight with all the crazy flavors for 'drinkable' oatmeal shakes. I just bought the 24 pack and I'm a little nervous! I watched some youtube reviews that were pretty hit or miss. I'll be going to a new schedule in a few weeks and I...

    Vetiver EO

    I'm out of Vetiver so I went to my usual source - Bulk Apothecary. Leaping lizards...$126 for 2 oz??? I mean it's always been pricey and I know everything is more expensive right now, but I wasn't expecting it to be this high! Does anyone have a good source for Vetiver at a better price point?

    50 Pounds of No-Stir Palm Oil

    I buy my sustainable no-stir palm oil in 50 lb blocks and put about 5 pounds in a small container and refill as needed from the block. The block itself I keep in the original plastic bag (tightly closed) in a closet in our house to avoid it being exposed to light and extreme temperature...

    Using African Black Soap in CP

    Hi, I've used the search engine here and searched videos on YouTube, but I'm still a little unsure how to go about this. Ann Marie from Brambleberry just did a video on using their new ABS crumbles in rebatch but I want to incorporate it into CP. I received some ABS from (I think) @cmzaha during...

    More WSP woes

    I still order from WSP (although not nearly as often or much as I have in the past) when they have items on sale that I use on a regular basis or things I'm curious about, but no longer for anything that I need in a hurry. Like if I'm down to my last couple of pounds of whatever and they have it...

    Shipping Woes

    This may be an all-time low with WSP. Fifteen days since I placed my order and it's still 'pending shipment'. A $50+ order for just 2 items and over 2 weeks later...still pending shipment. Yet when I attempted to add some items from the weekend deals there was no option to add them to the...

    PayPal Dispute - I'm stunned! Is This Normal??

    Backstory: This article kept popping on my FB feed about how a company had reverse engineered a vial of perfume oil found years ago in Egypt and now they've created their own trademarked blend of oils using the components they found with the suggestion that this could be Cleopatra's signature...

    Getting a little tired of WSP 'cancelling' stuff!

    I've been ordering supplies from WSP for years on a regular basis and this seems to be a new thing with them. You order something that shows as 'in stock' but then they 'cancel' that item and issue a refund after your order has shipped. This has happened with my last 2 orders this month. On the...

    BBW Vanilla Patchouli Dupe?

    I have a customer who has requested products with a dupe of the discontinued Bath and Body Works 'Vanilla Patchouli' scent. I'm unfamiliar with this scent so I looked it up and all BBW states for the scent is this: "Vanilla Absolute and Patchouli oil." and "Made with natural essential oils."...

    Does anyone here make custom silicone liners?

    I've used freezer paper for years, but I would really like to have silicone liners for the wooden molds made by my husband. I have 16 of them so I don't want to buy new molds to make sure the liners will fit correctly. We have so many multi-talented people in this group that I thought it was...

    Wooden Wick Co.

    I was invited to join a local Artist Guild a few months ago and our first post-Covid Art Crawl is scheduled for July. I'm the only soapmaker/chandler in the group and while I'm happy with my soaps and other products; my candles are pretty plain. By plain I mean metal tins with a cute label and...

    Seriously WSP??

    Ok, so I KNOW processing/shipping times are longer due to Covid restrictions. I placed orders with 5 different vendors on the same day and they all arrived within a couple of weeks EXCEPT for the WSP order. It took WSP a FULL 2 weeks to even ship my order and then I didn't receive the correct...

    Massage Candles

    I've made soy candles and tarts for years, but I've never made a massage candle. I use GB 464 for container candles but it's not skin-safe. Rather than ordering GB 402 or 415, I was thinking of using illipe butter instead since I have lots of it. My other option would be beeswax, but I know it...

    Need Help finding/creating tiny fleur de lis cookie cutters

    Admin, please move this post if I'm asking in the wrong forum. moved I need a fleur de lis cookie cutter in a tiny size like 1/2 inch tall. After many internet searches I suspect there is no such thing. So I'm wondering if anyone on here who does 3D printer stuff would be willing to make...

    Royalty Soaps and Fragrance Oil Usage

    I love watching Katie Carson's videos because she's just so fun and wholesome! I'm not a big fan of her swirls (I prefer Ione's more delicate swirls for Eve's Garden Soaps), but I like seeing her use micas from her vast supply and I appreciate that she gives the names and suppliers of said...
