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

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?

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...

I go through almost 1000 of these packets per month: http://www.saffireblue.ca/shop/bags-pouches-packets/heat-sealable-packets/heat-sealable-white-mylar-foil-mini-pouch-2-0-x-4-75 But SaffireBlue is getting worst and worst, with now 3 week waiting times before your order even ships which...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

How much liquid soap would you need to put in say a gallon of water to be able to use that water to clean things with it? Thanks

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)...

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...

I updated my website so that buyers can write product reviews and give a 1 to 5 star rating and it will show the average rating for each product. I think the reviews which will cause the website content to get updated with each new review should help with placement in Google search results...

I bought Optiphen Plus to preserve plain water but even at 1% and mixing it seems to keep staying as a separate layer that floats over the water just as oil would. This has me thinking Optiphen Plus can only be used in emulsions of water and oil and not in plain water, is this right? If so...

I never liked my soap photos despite trying many different attempts but used advice I got in another thread and got a mini tripod to take photos at a lower angle (though I had it fully extended so I could take them from even lower) and used FotoFuze to whiten the background. The new photos and...

If I want to preserve water and essential oil that are in the same container but not mixed (the eo floating on the water) what's the best and ideally most natural and least toxic preservative to use? Do I need anything more than preservative to prevent algae growth or would some preservatives...

I remember reading that it's illegal to make soap or products that claim to repel insects, does anyone have any details on this? Thanks

The last times I ordered unrefined shea it had a fresh nutty smell but the one in this last order almost smells like a faint ashtray scent, it's mot unpleasant but not the nutty flavor from the previous batch. Is this a normal variation to be expected or is it bad? Thanks

I placed an order on SaffireBlue on June 9th, they normally ship in 4-6 business days as stated on their website, but this last order still isn't shipped 9 business days later. So far I had to go buy lemon essential oil at 500% the price locally at least 5 times since placing my order. Is...

The place I get my supplies has Netherlands shea butter that's cheaper than the Ghana shea. I didn't think the Netherlands had the climate to grow shea, so what is Netherlands shea butter and why is it cheaper? Thanks
