I've been playing around on soapcalc.net lately. Is it really true that palm oil has a '1' cleansing value? That's what soapcalc tells me. I've read elsewhere that palm oil is high cleansing like coconut and not a good choice for a moisturizing/sensitive skin bar. I'm well aware that...

I'd appreciate any feedback on the Shop portion of my website if anyone cares to look. Http://www.spiraltouchbodywork.com It is my first time working with code/websites.. We paid for a custom site that is really hard to work with. Not everything is listed yet, still have some photos to add...

We are finally finishing the shopping cart feature on our website. I sell at local farmer's markets and shows and want to have items available online for customers who continually ask for a website. It's a custom wordpress site and we're using a shopping cart plugin that we can edit. My...

I haven't been on the forum in quite some time! I ended up getting into a summer market in July and have really enjoyed it. It's the only market I did this year. Financially, I have not yet covered my initial supply investment. I bought a lot of essential and fragrance oils and other things. I...

Can anyone give me a recommendation for a good printer for soap labels? I'm using matte inkjet paper from onlinelabels.com I just got home from Staples where I let myself get talked into a printer that was twice the cost of the one I went there for. I went for an Epson XP 400 all in one...

I am about to file for a business tax ID so I can get a transient vendor's license to sell at a local market once a week. My husband and I have decided to file for a business together. He currently works at a spa but has had a webpage designed and is working on the final details with renting...

Can anyone recommend a really good coffee fragrance oil? I bought 2 different types (coffee bean & fresh brewed coffee) from WSP and neither are as strong as I'd like in the final CP soap. They smell good, just not strong enough. I'm thinking about buying real coffee essential oil from NDA...

I'm currently making milk soap via the half/half method where you mix your lye with water for half the liquid amount then add the other half liquid amount of milk at light trace. The last time I made it, it got REALLY thick really fast after I added the milk and essential oils/ground oatmeal...

I've read a lot on here about liability insurance and recommendations to get 1 million in protection. My question is this - if the market/venue where you sell your soap does NOT require any insurance (only a vendors license) would you still buy it ? The market where I plan to sell in the future...

My first week of soap continued.. This soap is my favorite and the focus of what I will be doing. A milk soap with oatmeal. Milk is from an organic local dairy that sources milk from grass grazed cows on family farms here in Ohio. The oats are also organic and from an Amish farm in Ohio...

I started soaping a couple weeks ago and used up all of my lye in about a week (4 pounds!). I have been impatiently waiting for my new order of lye and soaping oils to arrive in the mail. I read a lot about soaping before getting started. Most said to start with very simple and easy recipes...
