I had what i thought were real pyrex containers but they began etching after a short time of using them. Thanks to posts like this i was able to see that it was a potential problem and switched to plastic. Last week while using my trusty little plastic container (the thin plastic ones used for...

I am curious why the use of absinthe in soap is such a big thing. i have seen information on this a few times and it just eludes me. Absinthe is a drink, not an EO. Wormwood is the vehicle that makes absinthe what it is. While the US has legalized the sale of "absinthe" in some states, it's not...

I second Rosemary Gladstar, she's amazing. http://www.sagemountain.com/welcome.html this is her "home" http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/ This is a trusted herb vendor here in the US, i realize that you are not here but there are great descriptions of various herbs for your reference. Good luck!

This shortened version worked for me: http://www.clinuvel.com then i clicked on "Mothers & Children" under the our expertise section, i think that's where the link was trying to lead to.

No i haven't, where would I get one? thanks Erin

Does anyone make and bottle lotion in large batches? I am trying to find an efficient way to get it bottled before it cools and thickens on me. i have tried the pour using a funnel method which works with small batches and also tried the method of putting it into a baggie and squeezing it in...

I look at insurance this way. It's protection. For you and for the odd person who could have a problem. Yes, there those folks that make insurance necessary because they are somewhat dishonest. But there's the flip side of sometimes a good someone may have a terrible reaction and come to you...

Almond FO! just the thought of it makes me sick. I quit making it, i don't care if a customer loves it or not, it makes me sick. lol!

https://www.tkbtrading.com/ They have ALOT of information and even kits and recipes for makeup. good luck! Erin

MY stick blender has a SS blade and plastic housing. It works just fine and was not expensive. I would not use my good cooking one for soaping.

The link below is a decent article on contract basics. While it is helpful to have a lawyer put one together, simple ones stating basic terms and conditions can be put together and signed off by both parties as a piece of paper stating that both parties understand and agree to the terms set...

Has anyone ever tried beet juice? I remember my mom dying easter eggs with it when we were little and it was a pretty pink, i don't know how it would hold up in soap though.......

Done, good luck!

That's so neat. My new scale it right on. My old scale had an unfortunate accident and is completely broken so i can't check what the difference was....thanks!

I have been making the same recipes for awhile, some as long as 2 years but I recently got a new scale (my old one kind of had a melt down) and now all my recipes are BIGGER than my molds that i have been using? WTH?!? I can only think that the old scale was off all that time and the new one...

Incompetence, it totally ticks me off. I worked for a company in NYC that from the top down everyone was so **** incompetent i almost had a nervous breakdown. My boss was an overpaid idiot, the accounting department was useless and my assistant should have never been allowed to set foot in the...

chocolate espresso from WSP is really nice. :)

So I made a soap with PKO for the first time yesterday. It is a neem oil heavy soap (total yuck, but better than working with sulphur!) I have been wanting to try this for awhile and this month's saponifier inspired me to finally do it because it was the featured oil. My question to those...

I used to get it occasionally but since we moved and summer has finally kicked in here in VT i have been getting it ALOT! I don't like the look of it so I am going to have to figure something out. I am wondering if humidity can affect this? It's been pretty humid here and we are resisting using...

You might also want to look into neem oil. It has great healing properties. I am not sure if it would be better in a lotion or a soap. It has a very strong scent, so just be aware, but i believe it can be used at low % and still be quite effective. good luck :) Erin
