Can anyone tell me what this is? After 3 weeks I put these soaps in an open photograph box until I could package them. 2 weeks later I got them out to wrap them and they had these pink marks on them. All 16 bars have at least 1 spot. While they were in the box they were not touching each other...

I'm working on a special request for a soap with juniper berries and ginseng extract with Nag Champa fragrance. I'll post pics before I pour and when I cut it in the morning. I did a water discount for the ginseng extract, should I add it after I add the lye or after it has cooked?

Anyone know where I can find a dupe of J&J baby wash? WSP has a dupe of J&J bedtime bath but nothing they call baby wash.

I put an ad on my church's social site asking for someone to cut down my PVC molds because they were too long for me. Turns out, the person who answered owns a pool installation company and after he had his employees cut down my molds he took me out back and let me pick whatever sizes of PVC I...

(almost!) Final Packaging I tried a few different packaging options with different shaped lables and grosgrain ribbon but I decided in the end that a fancy cigar band was cheapest, most protective of the soap and prettiest.

So, A friend of mine and I bought a hog from a local farmer and we pick it up from the butcher tomorrow. My family is so excited about bacon and pork chops and pork loin. ... I just can't wait to get my hands on the fat so I can render it and make soap. For a whole week since we called...

For serious people! This is Crafter's Choice Honey Almond EO/FO blend with honey and almonds. The FO turned the soap this (i think) lovely buterscotch color and it smells even better. Everyone in my house wanted a bite!

I had some rebatch that I wasn't really happy with so I took it to a play-date today to give it away. The moms all acted like I was giving them gold. Made me feel pretty good that people were so excited about my rejects.

How do shops/sellers get away with selling soap unlabeled by weight? Do you just have to have a sign up saying that it is soap? I see these tables at the supermarket, wholefoods and flea markets where sellers just have the soap out unwrapped.

Maybe I'm a weirdo but I love going to the Farmers Market and getting a nice head of cabbage, and then making my family eat it. I got a wild hair tonight that I should make some cabbage soap. I won't be able to make it until at least next Sunday because I'm prepping for a craft fair until Feb...

Am I the only one who uses this kind?

I just made my first batch in a cylinder mold. In my head it was much easier to just pick up my pot and pour the soap into the pipe. I know the first thing I did wrong was that I did not make my liner go all the way to the top of the mold, I just lined it up to the point where the soap would go...

I've been working with an experienced soaper for a few months now. She does a huge amount of wholesale work and has been really encouraging me with making my own business. About 2 weeks after I made my first batches on my own, a craft fair opportunity came up and to push me out of the nest my...

Is there a definitive list of words that are considered health claims or cosmetic claims? Part of my business model is developing signature soaps for small businesses such as I made a soap for a local beekeeper using their honey and beeswax that they sell with their products. For the most...

I made two batches of soap Wednesday, adding 1tbs honey per pound of fat at light trace. I let them gel for about 12 hours longer than I usually do and they were still extremely soft. I went ahead and cut them and just kinda smoothed them with my hands if they got squished. Also they were...

I will tell the whole story so maybe I don't sound like an idiot. I ordered 5 bottles of lye from a popular supplier. It arrived in a priority mail box with the bottles wrapped in plastic bags, 2 bottles in each bag. I opened it took out one bottle and put the box on a top shelf, where I...
