    I generally dislike patchouli, but I love it with orange EO.

    Is doing M&P Cheating? Like a Box Cake Mix?

    Pricing product is about making a profit. I don't see any reason why it would be wrong for someone making melt and pour soap to price their product the same as someone selling cold process soap. It's not just about the labor but the cost of goods sold as well. If you do the math, you might...

    Question about Salt Bars...

    I didn't like my salt bars much at all after the standard 6 week cure. After 3-4 months, though, I LOVE them. It's amazing the difference a little extra time makes.

    What's your favourite oil in soap making? Why?

    Olive oil and Shea butter are two of my favorites. My base recipe includes olive oil, coconut oil, Shea butter, and a little bit of castor. I really like it!

    New Member - Essential Oil Sources?

    Just wanted to say that I also have the Brambleberry square bar silicone mold! I love it too! I've bought essential oils from both Brambleberry and Wholesale Supplies Plus and have been happy with both.

    Tips on Facial Soaps?

    My favorite (so far) recipe for my face is just my regular soap formula wih green clay and equal parts tea tree and peppermint oil. It doesn't dry too much, and it really seems to calm my skin. I have sensitive skin, and I've had issues with adult acne since I was about 25. My breakouts have...

    Two Coconut Milk Soaps

    So far, my coconut milk soaps have been my favorite. I just love them. These look nice! I really like the swirliness in the first one.

    In honor of Liz: The Annoyance Thread

    Shannon_m--My husband and I play a game when we travel--"Spot the Grammatical Errors". Billboards are great ones. Between the homophone misuse and contraction misuse, we both end up in half-twitching fits. HAHAHA :) I am constantly amazed by the number of companies who don't properly...

    Ready to sell - now what? :)

    Don't forget to apply for (and get) your sales tax id number and account with your state. You probably know that, but I didn't see it mentioned, so I thought I'd throw it in there. :) Sales tax is not something you want to mess with. Set it up, and pay it as they tell you. Everyone is...

    Sick :(

    I'm sorry you're sick. :( It's no fun at all. Make sure you're gargling with the warm salt water at least every 30 minutes. If you're doing that and it still isn't working, alternate the salt water with Listerine (it can be mint flavored or whatever, but you you want the full power stuff)...

    Help! Losing Sleep Over a Business Name...

    Another thing you want to keep in mind when choosing a business name is your business plan. What do you want your clients--and potential clients--to associate with your product? In many cases, your business name is a person's first introduction to you. What do you want that introduction to...
