They say all fo's are soap safe. Has anyone ordered from them for cold process soap? Some of the reviews on their facebook page are pretty bad. My local supplier went out of business and along with her went some of my best selling fragrance oils. :( I'm looking for a new avenue. I've...

I noticed the members ad forum has slowed down considerably since I used to frequent the forums. Is there another place with more traffic? A Facebook buy, sale, trade group perhaps? Thanks

I've tried everything coming and going and can't seem to find a truly FLEXIBLE hold hair gel. I have straight fine hair and I like to use a curling wand to get some nice waves. Nothing I've used has held up. Hair looks good for about 15 minutes or it's just too crunchy looking :( Soooooo...

Hey all. I have medium length fine straight hair. I heat style it everyday. Not so much heat from the dryer but the styling apparatuses. The waving wand, curling wand, curling iron, flat iron...etc. I've been using coconut oil on my hair for years. I'll generously apply it before bed...

A friend that makes candles recently told me about this website. Their fo's look interesting but there is no indication they are cp safe. I emailed the company and asked if they are cp safe and my reply was "yes they are". Meaning ALL of them are. The skeptic in me is hesitant to believe...

Hi, I've got lotsa stuff and wonder what on earth I can make with it besides put it in soap. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Hair care, bath & body, masks, etc.... Pearl powder Silk powder Activated charcoal Rose clay Orange clay Red clay Yellow clay Alfalfa root...

I want to try and make a batch of soap using wood ash lye, rendered lard, and spring water. I've got a source for my ingredients but after reading numerous posts and articles I'm still a bit confused. Hopefully someone can elaborate on a few of these points. From what I gather the end result...

The more I read about lotion bars the more I realized that lotion bars and lip balms are basically made out of the same ingredients. The only variation I could figure out is you'd want to use flavor oils to scent the lip balms and fragrance oils for the lotioin bars. Am I missing...

I've noticed some recipes for lotions, body butters, and whipped body butters call for one or the other. Is one a substitute for the other? Can I use food grade parrafin instead? I have beeswax and when I've used it in my whipped body butter it makes it really hard. Opinions and...

I've been buying leave ins from the beauty supply store for years. I tried a few times to make my own, using everything from green tea, silk powder, pearl powder, micas (for shimmer), watered down conditioner, glycerin, mixed with spring water, etc... Everything I've tried has clogged up...

I recently found a bunch of candle supplies at the Goodwill. I got lotsa wax, wicks, colorants, FO's, and a short fat pillar mold. I just want to use this up and give some homemade candles out for Christmas presents. I wanted to use soup cans instead of the pillar mold so I poured one a...

I've received a request for almond scented soap. I've seen it many times on many sites but is there a favorite of yours? Thanks

The Bargain Fragrance oils are being clearanced out due to low sales. With names like these, I can hardly wonder why they're not selling..... Caviar (seriously?! Kitten Love?-) Lily Pads Rock Lobster Blarney Stoned Ugly Fruit http://www.naturesgardencandles.com/can ... e-Oil.html

Ok, this may be a dumb question BUT...... can you use a couple of drops of EO or FO in lamp oil to burn in a tiki torch or hurricane lamp? Would it throw a fragrance like a tart or candle, do nothing, or would it just blow up? LOL Thanks :)

Just bought this one a few weeks ago. Their website said it has a fp of 200°. I used .5 per pound of oils, (my norm) and this stuff didn't smell AT ALL when I took it out of the mold. I rebatched but ended up ruining it. I still haven't mastered the art of rebatching. Soooooo...

I recently found this at the local Goodwill: http://www.soapmakingforum.com/forum/vi ... highlight= I normally use a log mold but I want to give this a try. Any advice on how much soap I should pour into this thing or how to use a slab mold and cutter in general? I would like to try...

Has anyone ever heard of this? I had to go on an errand today and I found some lye in a farm store about an hour away. It was somewhat cheaper than where I normally get it and it is in larger containers. The clerk said that this brand is what replaced the Red Devil brand lye. I didn't...

Found this at the goodwill this weekend. It's from Herbal Accents, slab mold and cutter. I hate making liners and I will probably only use this once or twice and I'm not real sure how to use this type of cutter, either. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Looking for some good fall scents. WSP has these but I'm still on the fence about them. Has anyone tried these from WSP or do you have a favorite from somewhere else? TIA!!

I want to make my own moisturizer for my feet. They get so dry and rough during the summer. I've been using my own sugar scrubs for a couple years now and I'd like to make some kind of whipped moisturizer, too. Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
