Based on the above review, I purchased a bottle of Just Scents Coconut Extreme. My results were completely different. All veggie recipe - same reliable recipe I have been using for years. It discolored badly; I expected some discoloration, but this unlike anything I have ever seen. Any other...

Giving this a bump. Hoping to hear from Bella or others who have used the Coconut Extreme in cp. Does it morph? Discolor?

I hear a lot of numbers tossed around for castor oil - most seem to think 5% is best. What is the highest % you've used and how was the final product?

Where is all this sarcasm coming from? All I did was tell her about the cutter/sealer - thought it was being helpful. Yes, I shrink wrap everyday - and it is easy - should I pretend it isn't?

ANYONE - no matter their age - should stay home if they can't behave appropriately in public! This includes screaming children, loud drunk guys, cackling hens at after work bars - cranky oldsters who can't chill out and have some fun... If you are in this category - sadly...lol...you...

So... you are sill in the experimenting stage of soap making, and hubby is expecting sales already??? Most people spend a good deal of time getting their recipes perfected before venturing into sales. Always a good idea to really have the products all figured out before expecting profits;)...

I've done that - but I always dust them with a tiny bit of arrowroot powder before shrink wrapping them. The powder doesn't really show up, it absorbs any last little bit if "slickness" and it makes it a lot easier to slide them down into the bag :wink:

HI, I have a candle making business - 100% beeswax. There is a lot of information out there on the web about wicks for beeswax. It depends mainly on two things: 1. the diameter of the candle 2. the cleanliness and color of the wax My suggestion would be to call Candlewic - the number is...

I make a variety of lotion bars, with carefully thought out ingredients. For Mother's Day, we sent a sampler pack of everything I mkae - candles, soap, lotion bars, etc - to my Mother in Law. She is going through chemo - and said that the foot bar is sensational. She said the chemo makes her...

OK - got a chance to try out the "extra hard" bases I ordered. First batch is 50/50 with the regular GM base. Second batch is 2/1 GM/X-hard. Can't tell much a difference so far - they have both been sitting out a few days, to see if they'll sweat - nothing yet. I plan to enlist a few...

That is really odd.... I assume the bases you got from them were SFIC, which is the GM that I use...and my skin feels wonderfully soft and moisturized after washing or bathing with it. I wonder if it possible to have gotten a "bad batch" or something?? Perhaps you should contact the vendor...

gm = goat's milk - just short hand/lazy typing ;) I'm not sure what kind of afterfeel you mean. I haven't noticed anything unpleasant in the afterfeel. Can you describe it in more detail?

I bought my mp base at a local supply store - they say it is SFIC, and the ingredients and wording were a perfect match. I started out with the goat's milk, and love it. Then I bought a sample size (2lb) of the clear. YUCK!!!!! I took it out of the package and it is sticky and gross. I...

I like it!! You explained it perfectly!!! What a great idea!!

I used my first oxides for coloring yesterday. I wanted to make my lavender EO soap look like lavender too ;) I mixed the oxide powder into a small amount of glycerin, mixed and mixed and mixed, the added to soap...lots of stirring... I didn't see any specks, but when de-molding the soaps...

HI Rachel, I just bought the cheapest one from ebay. The ones on ebay are all the same manufacturer, and the model is PFS-200. They sell a higher end model that advertises a built in cutter. Sounds convenient, but in practice - mine cuts as it seals, so....save your money :wink: It is...

OK, in spite of what everyone says - you CAN easily shrink wrap soft MP soap. I do it everyday. I use the simple little 4 x 6 bags that I get from my local soap supply store, and a heat gun I bought from ebay pretty cheap. The heat gun has a high and a low setting, obviously I use the low...

I have two sizes of the deodorant tubes - 1/2 ounce and 2 ounce. The large one is like a regular store deodorant size. I have a baby balm and a foot bar that will go in these. The other lotion bars (general hand ones) will be in 2" tins or small hinged plastic containers for the small/travel...

Okay - who has compared the regular base (naturals only!) to the low sweat? Yes, I get it - the low sweat doesn't sweat, or at least less, like the name says. But what about other differences? Lather? Hardness? General feel? thanks in advance for your help and opinion
