I use straight Argan Oil on my face as a moisturizer morning and night! I love it! My complexion has never been better!

I am interested in finding out various ideas around wholesaling. How do you set your pricing? Do you only have certain soaps you wholesale or is all of your inventory open to wholesale? Etc... there are so many different ways of doing it and I'm just trying to find some ideas that would work...

Thank you...I'll give rebatching a try! Just hope I can recreate my honeycomb look!

I've made this soap a dozen times at least...the only difference this time is where the fragrance oil came from. This is what I found when I cut it today...can this be salvaged? I've never had this happen to me! What happened? Fragrance Oil was Oatmeal, Milk and Honey - Crafters...

I made this soap last yesterday and cut today. Used Black Tea FO from BB. Colorants used are activated charcoal, cappucino mica and copper sparkle mica. While I really like the way it turned out...the white streaking is unexpected...I have never had either of the mica's morph before and I'm...

Thanks everyone - I will give that a try the soap scraps and break out the crockpot again! I did run through a lye calculator and I do use a scale to measure. Lye did heat up my liquid. I have not heard of lye going bad juiceman...what's the shelf life of lye or what factors contribute to it...

I made soap Sunday morning...a recipe I've made before with success. This time, it never set up and got hard. Last night, I dumped it in the crock pot to rebatch...didn't add anything to it because it seemed to be overly oily. Rebatch went well and everything looked normal...however, today...

Is there a standard amount of oil one can add at trace? Such as 1 oz per pound of soap or something like that? I have not tried doing this yet and would like to do so but can't find the info on amount that is safe to add - Also, would this just be considered an "additive"? I would not want...

I want to use the peppermint I grow to infuse oil to use in soap making. I have two questions - I have been researching infusing peppermint and can only find the method of putting it in a jar with carrier oils for several days, etc. I was wondering if I can heat infuse the peppermint and oil...

Yes, I actually like the scent a lot! It's light and sweet...I don't usually go for the sweet scents but I feel like this one is so light that it's not too much for me! Thanks! I like the narrow - tall mold that I used for this and a couple of others I do...It's nice to switch it up every...
