Does anyone know if there are any shops in the Denver, CO area that carry LX candle wicks? I am ready to give candle making a try. I have been thinking of making a variety of container type candles from various types of wax. Mainly pariffin and beeswax. At the moment I have enough wax to get...

I soap infrequently lately so my lye and oils/fats have become very old. Since I am usually the only one using my soap, it doesn't really bother me. Anyway I recently added a little bit of coconut oil back to my recipe and upped my superfat to compensate for the drying affects of it. I have done...

Been making CP for a long time but have usually gone without color, used some oxides or used natural colorants. I was interested in using some vibrant colors but don't know what is out there for that. I will be doing my own research but figured I'd ask the folks who already know as well. My wife...

I have known about them for quite a while but have never ordered from them. Mostly because of their order minimum but also some of the negative reviews I have seen. I noticed they only have one type of oil quality now. I did a side by side cost comparison with WSP for some of the scents I would...

I stole the title of this post from a Reddit posting. I couldn't describe the smell well so I had not brought it up before. Anyway, a while ago I had a few batches develop an off smell. The best I could describe the odor was a nutty ammonia smell. One of the FOs was Coffee Bean from WSP...

I recently decided to give shave soap a try. I ordered some KOH as well as other items from WSP. I then tried to find the % purity of their KOH. The MSDS they offer indicates it is 90-95%. Questions asked about this just reiterate this information and I was directed to their soap calculator...

I tend not to use scent for most of my soap but do like to experiment with some fragrances (dirt, coffee, campfire) once in awhile. I do like to figure out who actually makes/blends the scents and who is just repackaging and reselling. Is there any info available out there besides contacting...

So I did some shopping at WSP today since they have a sale going on. Got the things I wanted and ran them through the checkout. After all the clicking and stuff I see the order confirmation with a $0.41 "donation" added that ends up rounding my total up to the nearest dollar. I did not see...

I just picked up my first order from Mile High Soap. They have an ok selection but I think it is in the process of building up. I think their prices are good and since they are local I can swing by and pick up my order. They don't have the ability for in store shopping but you can order...

So I am interested in trying shampoo bar and from information here I have developed a basic recipe to try. Coconut oil 39% Olive oil 39% Castor oil 22% Planning on 10% super fat and no dyes or fragrance. I think I can find all the oils at the supermarket, do they still sell castor at the...

Hi, Keith here. I have been soaping for a little over two years with a handful of batches under my belt. I have been hanging out gathering information for a while and decided to make it official. My next batch is going to be a pine tar modification on my standard soap. 10% pine tar 34% olive...
