Love your packaging, very pretty indeed but did anyone else notice the spooky face next to the soap dish on your table? First thing I noticed and it's the eve of Halloween!!!!

I am really lucky (or unlucky) in that my family is brutally honest when I give them things to try. In fact I think my mother-in-law has sent back at least 4 hand creams with her notes on them! But I say you can please some of the people some of the time ect ect :thumbup:

Hi, my partners entire family are vegan so all the products we make are vegan too (they test for us) We looked into getting logos ie: bunny ect. We found however when we went through a list of companies using the logos that a lot of them had parent companies that did indeed test on animals so in...

Hi, my new obsession is felting soap. It's a great way to use up the ends of your loaf and it is so much fun. Also my customers love them. I started with simple designs, sheep, rainbows, abstract but now I am doing pint's of guiness (I am in Ireland) shamrocks ect. You could do some great...

Thanks for the replies everyone. i will try some of the ideas. The problem I had is I had a severe allergic reaction to a hair dye ( I had been using this brand for years). We are talking blisters all over my scalp, weeping scalp & swollen itchy eyes. Since then my hair has been in a terrible...

Hi, I am looking for a non-greasy feeling hair serum recipe. My hair is very damaged after years of dying & it is also very very frizzy especially when humid. I need something I can apply in the morning, also needs to be vegan friendly. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I go get it...

I line with parchment and fold it over the top and then I use a piece of wood (like a lid) that fits inside the mold and just apply a bit of pressure. Totally flat top :)

My new dreamcatcher design scented with sandalwood :D

I have a shop and one of the things I have to really bite my tongue over is people coming in and saying "ooh, its like a mini L--h". I used to try and explain the difference but I don't bother anymore. I think the people who are on the look out for a good product will know the difference between...

Hi, I am in Ireland and it is so hard to get supplies here. Mine come mostly from the UK. Just to let everyone know I have found a fantastic company for pots, tubs ect. I ordered a lot of 50ml mushroom pots, very good price. Anyway I was having trouble getting lotion tubes. I ordered a couple...

Hi, I attempted salt bars once in HP. However after 4 months they are still "sweating" anyone know how to avoid this? Thanks

Hi, one of my customers is South African but lives in Ireland. He goes back to South Africa for 1 month a year and would like to know if there is anywhere he can buy soap making supplies online so he can make soap while he is there? I've looked online but I can only find melt & pour or soap for...

I'm sorry but I disagree. We really have to jump through hoops in the EU with labeling ect and we do not have to list lye as an ingredient because it is not in the finished product. It is gone, no traces so therefore all you have left are natural ingredients. So the soap is natural.

But the lye is not in the finished product. All you are left with are the natural ingredients you put in.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else would react to this in the same way as me. I was browsing online and came across a UK wholesale soap company. I had a look on the site and all the soap was melt and pour. Nothing wrong with that. I then had a look at the FAQ page and one of the questions was...

Hi, I would say I have used this recipe well over a 100 times as I have a shop and it's the only recipe I use. The room temp is fairly new to me as I hp usually. I think you may have hit it on the head with the water. Thank you

Hi, I use 80% olive oil and 20% coconut oil for all my soaps (bit unadventurous I know but if it aint broke dont fix it :) ) I don't wrap my mold, I just pour it and leave it. As it's the room temp method it was literally blending to trace and then pouring so there was only about 1 minute...

Hi, I hope someone can tell me why this has gone wrong. I made 2 batches of soap at the same time, using identical recipes, just a change of fragrance. I use the room temperature method. One batch using sandalwood fragrance turned out perfect. The other batch using nag champa fragrance even...

Hi, i tried my hand at peacock swirls today and am too impatient to wait until unmolded to share :) unfortunately I was so concentrating on separating all my colours properly that I totally forgot to add fragrance :oops: Never mind, just a trial run anyway. Would like to know what experienced...

Hi, an awful lot of vegans don't class honey as vegan i'm afraid. Sorry.
