Okay, guys. I know this may be a stupid question, but with marketing my lip balm, I obviously want to be clear about the ingredients I use. Does anyone know when parabens, sulfates and phthalates come into play? I want to list my lip balms as being FREE from these things if they are in fact free...

Can anyone tell me if they document each batch of product they make and designate some sort of code on their label? I feel like I need to do this so that I know the age of my lip balm in case I need to pull it after a certain time frame.

I recently made a batch of calendula infused in sweet almond oil for some lip balm I was making. I didn't need all of it and am wondering if it is still good. It has been stored in the cabinet (dark) for about 3-4 mths. Would it still be safe to use?

Once you mix your lye and Distilled water, how long does it keep? I mixed mine earlier but got caught up in another project and never made it back to make my soap yet. It has been about 7 1/2 hrs now. Will the solution go bad or will I have any challenges with my lye water being cool instead of...

Can you tell me how much you are selling your lip balms for? I am new to this and just made my first batch. It consisted of sweet almond oil infused with calendula, beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, sweetner and flavoring. Any guidance is appreciated. I have someone that is potentially wanting...

Can anyone help? I made 2 batches of CP soap about 4 days ago. I just got around to looking at them today and noticed that one of them has a large crack going down the center of the "almost" entire length of the log and the other has a small crack. I use a wooden mold, and place a wooden top...

Can anyone tell me what fragrances you use for CP soap for men? I'd rather not have one that was too masculine though, as most of my current customers are women and I'm not sure these would sell. Are there fragrances that are enjoyed by both men & women?

How many of you use the no stir palm oil? My first order of oils, I just got the 7lb jug but find it pretty cumbersome to melt it all to mix it up before using in a recipe. We ended up melting, weighing it and separating it out into containers so we wouldn't have to melt and mix it each time...

I was wondering if anyone on here makes gift baskets that have soap along with other items. We sell honey and we have quite a few people that want our honey and beeswax candle gift sets, along with a bar of soap. I'm just not sure what the best method of packaging these items together would be...

Does anyone know what the least amount of time is that you can get by with infusing alkanet root powder in oil prior to using as a colorant in soap? I've read 1-2wks, but is it really necessary to wait that long??

I'm new to cp soap making and am wondering what everybody is using as colorants and where they are purchasing them. I am attempting a batch of lavender soap and would like to add come purple/ lavender color to it. Also, any info on other colors that you're using will be helpful. Thanks a bunch...
