    Odorless MP

    The BB bases I use already have somewhat of a scent when I get them (if you use them you know what I mean), but I'd love to find a way to make them relatively unscented while removing that smell that's already there. I was thinking a bit of peppermint EO might work just to cover it up and...

    Infusing Oils

    Can you infuse oils using fruits or flowers? I've only seen it done with herbs and was wondering what the limit is to what will work.

    What to do with empty EO bottles

    I've used some little ones as sugar scrub or lotion containers for travelling after I cleaned them. Beyond that I'm not really sure!

    Shipping to customers. Help!!!

    I've had people ship me MP in the summer and it sat on my porch for quite awhile without melting. And I've never really heard of it being a huge issue in general, but probably buying low sweat base would help with that. Leave it on your own porch for a few hours and see what works and what...

    How do you know if...

    I primarily use citrus EOs since citrus fruits are far from rare and not as much substance is required to make a lot of oil. I always feel a little bad as well whenever I've used a lavender or something like that, knowing how much substance had to be used to get such a little bit!

    question about selling melt and pour

    Both with soap and with the cake analogy, the final product is essentially the same. I just see it as skipping a step. I think it's reasonable for someone to prefer not to be using a harmful chemical like lye in their home. While MP and CP can be very different, you can be successful with both...

    My recent soaps!

    Your soaps constantly amaze me! You swirl with perfection.

    Mango Soap

    I actually really like it! It looks like it would have a cream-sicle kind of smell. But it also looks very natural which people usually can't pull off with orange, but yours looks great!

    unrefind shea butter from Camden Grey

    You should email them and ask if that's normal, because it doesn't sound like it should be. :shock:

    Two Tone - layer with smidgen of swirls

    That's some of the most stylish soap I've seen, I can totally imagine them having it in a fancy spa! How did you get those little speckles in the bottom part? They're gorgeous! Nevermind, just went to your site and saw it was paprika! Do you think that could have the same effect in MP if you...

    Round Confetti Soap - pic intensive

    I totally forgot about that in my excitement! Always happens when I get ideas, thanks for pointing that out or I would have ended up making a bunch of brown confetti bars! haha!

    Round Confetti Soap - pic intensive

    These are awesome! They would be so fun to make with some kind of vanilla-cupcake scent and give away as favors at a birthday party!

    big & fat orange/patchouli m&p bars

    I absolutely LOVE that! The lower part looks just like when milk mixes with tea or coffee (which always fascinates me because it's so pretty), do you know of a tutorial of how to do this?

    Can you help me name this?

    I usually just go simple and descriptive for mine, so if I was choosing I'd probably just do something like "Mandarin Tea"

    Mango Soap

    Mmm I love passion fruit scents! I've been looking for a good one, does your supplier sell online?

    Good soap for eczema

    If you want to make it yourself, a solid lotion would probably be the easiest way to go (there's no water/emulsifying). I started a thread the other day about help for a solid lotion, here's the link: http://soapmakingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30604 Essentially though, you'd just need...

    newbie help please

    You're welcome! From what I've seen, it looks more likely to be discoloration from overheating, than to be lye pockets (primarily because there seem to be so many), but I can't say for sure because I don't have extensive experience with CP. When I get a recurring problem, I usually go over...

    Good soap for eczema

    Honestly I don't think soap in any form would be incredibly helpful for treating dry skin, but using a soap with a good percentage of unsaponified oils would probably help keep it from making her skin more dry. I think it would be more beneficial to make a good lotion and have her use that...

    Lavender not good for boys (shampoo)?

    That's very strange, but very good to know. Stuff like this is why I always tell people kids shouldn't use EO soaps, I feel like they can affect a lot of hormones in the body, which is much more dangerous as a child.

    For Kitn - felting tutorial...

    From my understanding the design piece should be just as stable because it's been fully integrated into the rest of the wool. There's not really any glue necessary.
