Nice site; easy to navigate, soothing colors...looks good!

no prob Ashley. Yes, depending on the size of the bomb, I would wait a min of 24 hrs and a max of 48 before packaging.

Try lowering your liquids-i.e. water, oils, etc. Warting usually occurs when there is too much liquid.

I like beach berry bingo...

Maybe if you lessen the oil amount and use lighter oils, that will elimate the problem of the bomb being "too greasy". I use either grapeseed or apricot kernel in my bombs and the after-bath feeling is wonderful.

The general rule of thumb for measuring EOs and FOs is by weight. Shani

My shower is so small, I can only have one at a time. :cry:

Wow! They look fantastic and edible! Great job!

It depends on the colorant. It looks like the color is clumping with some of the bath bomb mixture and is not being distributed evenly. Are you mixing with your hands? The colorants I used in the past blended beautifully and the colors I'm using now has speckles, but hey, I think it adds...

How did you mix your oxides and ultramarines? In the past, I would mix the oxides and ultra with 2-3 tablespoons of oil from the batch. After I reached trace I would pour some of the soap in with the color and mix well and then add the colored soap to the batch. (I hope that makes sense) I...

Thanks Chay! I originally wanted to go with the parchment paper theme for the site, but I'm having a bit of a difficult time getting it to work. I'll see what I can do.

I find clay gives a more of a dense lather. I'm interested to see what others feel...

If you don't have money to pour into your company, developing an image of your own takes an enormous amount of time with trial & error. Within the past year and a half, I have changed my co.'s image (not name) so many times, I lost count. I took some time and really thought about the direction...

I have'nt been around much, I've been peeking my head in and out of the forum every now and then. I've had my head buried into revampimg my site and image. Please take a peek and let me know what you think. Your responses are greatly appreciated. Shani

I think there is a misconception regarding the job of "natural soap". Soap is used to clean, not to moisturize. Although, natural soap is or can be less drying than "detergent/commercial" bars it is not a moisturizer for your skin. Soap is a wash off product, it shouldn't be expected for the...

I like it! I think it looks great! Everything is flowing, co name, tag line and colors. Good work!

Did your batch gel? From my experience with certain recipes, if the soap does NOT gel, it will take a few extra days to harden up enough to cut. Also, judging from your recipe, you used around about 3lbs of base oils-not including your sodium hydroxide solution-adding 3 oz of fragrance seems...

I agree, unrefined shea, mango and kokum butters are the best for cp-imo...
