    Leak proof containers for salt scrubs?

    I didn't try anything yet I want to find a leak proof container before I attempt anything. I see wholesalesuppliesplus.com has some, do they seal even with oil based content? Thank you

    Leak proof containers for salt scrubs?

    I want to try making salt scrubs that would be basically a blend of salt and oil and a few other things but my main concern is what sort of container could I use to sell/ship it in that wouldn't leak during shipping without requiring a multi thousand dollar sealing machine? Thanks

    Molds and dairy allergies

    Someone wants to borrow some molds but I sell my soaps as vegan/dairy free, should I tell her I don't want her to use any dairy products in them in case I have a customer with a sensitive dairy allergy?

    Anyone else have issues with refunds from SaffireBlue.ca?

    Not only has Saffire Blue been taking about 3 weeks to ship orders around the holidays, I'm still waiting for a refund for out of stock items from an order in November. They keep saying they have a lot of refunds to do and mine will be done soon. I suspect they don't have the money as it can't...

    Salt soaps still sweating after months

    Since I moved to where I have better AC control I haven't had a salt soap sweat. I also do heat shrink wrap them once cured.

    Made a Lego machine that automatically manufactures my product

    I sell packets of liquid to be mixed with isopropyl alcohol to refill the cleaning liquid cartridges for Braun self cleaning shavers (which is much cheaper than buying new cartridges) and often sell over 1000 per month making it time consuming to fill and seal these packets manually. For...

    Preserving salt water?

    Sorry for the long delay. I sell a product made of essential oil and salt water, with no emulsifiers so they remain separate and the end user then mixes this in rubbing alcohol which allows the mix to become emulsified. I want to be able to have the product be shelf stable for several years...

    Bay rum scent

    I make and sell a shaver cleaning solution and someone asked me if I have bay rum scent. Is this a scent that's available in natural form like essential oil as so far all my scents are with EOs? With a bit of searching I did found essential oils sold as bay rum essential oil, would these be the...

    Do swirled soaps really sell better?

    I've always had my own businesses and due to one of my other businesses picking up significantly it has left me with no time to make soap so my soap business basically shut down. I'm working on a machine that will automatically manufacture the product I sell in my other business which will free...

    Can you use orange blossom water to scent CP soap?

    I was wondering if you can use orange blossom water, maybe instead of water in the lye mixture, to scent soaps, or would the lye destroy the scent? Thanks

    Preserving salt water?

    I know this may seem strange but if I wanted to preserve salt water for years (prevent algae/bacteria/etc) what's te most natural preservative that could do this? I know I've been told such a mixture doesn't need preservatives but I've noticed algae or green stuff appear after a while in tests...

    Where to get good price on about 4 gallons of essential oil available to Canada?

    I order other supplies from them but only essential oils if I need them in a rush as their prices are vastly higher than my seller on eBay, for example 4 liters of lime essential oil is about $483 CAD while on eBay I pay $180 US for 1 gallon which is $212 CAD so less than half the price eve if...

    Where to get good price on about 4 gallons of essential oil available to Canada?

    With increasing sales I'm getting tired of buying a few hundred dollars worth of EO every 2-4 weeks so I want to order about 4 gallons which should last me about 7 months at current sales levels. Currently the place I know with the best price (a seller on eBay I've been buying from for years)...

    Do people generally prefer single EO scents or blends of multiple EOs?

    Almost all my soaps are scented wit a single EO and I only made 2 or 3 that are made with a blend of different EOs. I was wondering if buyers normally prefer single oil scents or blends for essential oil scented soaps? After making my first order from Yankee candle recently, I noticed how...

    Regulation POLICE!! And what they ACTUALLY will do!

    Links/info to that study increasing survival 50%? You really couldn't possibly have given any less info, please provide the drug/product name, link to the study, who funded it. Also, there is also obviously quackery in natural medicine as well, but science based natural treatments are...

    Regulation POLICE!! And what they ACTUALLY will do!

    I haven't read all replies but they do go to extreme lengths to protect the criminal drug monopoly. People that say their natural products cure a disease do regularly have their places of businesses raided with guns drawn, even if the claims are true and proven by dozens of independent studies...

    Can OptiPhen Plus be used to preserve plain water?

    I also plan to make a new formula for another self cleaning shaver brand but it uses a water based solution instead of alcohol. Would adding a large amount of natural liquid soap (around 25-50% soap) to the water cause it to need a preservative? Thanks

    Can OptiPhen Plus be used to preserve plain water?

    Thanks, I will be updating my labels to add those warnings. What about the preservative issue, would potassium sorbate in the water be a good idea and what could I use to get the ph down to the required 6 this preservative requires? Thanks
