    Making CP soap with Soda Pop

    During my trucking days, I learned that the syrup for sodas are explosives (I would have thought corrosives) and considered hazardous materials. However, we never hauled the Root Beer syrup, therefore, I do not know if that is same for it as well. This would be something important to find out...

    Soap won’t gel

    You said you used a new lye...did you make sure it was Sodium Hydroxide and not Potassium Hydroxide? If Potassium Hydroxide, then that could be the main issue

    homemade hair perfume/hair refesher spray?

    Is it possible to order Suave on Amazon in the UK? I know that I can get a lot of products from the UK on Amazon shipped here to the US, but don't know if that is a reciprocal thing or not. You might check it out and see. Yes, it might cost a little more, but our hair, as women are our "glory"...

    Soaping in a dirty house

    This is a marvelous idea! Possibly agree to make an extra batch for the guys at the firehouse in exchange for the use of their kitchen? Or agree to give the church a certain % of sales from the products made in their kitchen. It would be a hassle dragging all your supplies from the house to...

    Help with Tussash Silk in Coconut Milk

    I always put my silk in the water or milk before adding the lye because it definitely needs the heat of the lye to break it down. By the time it has come down to room temperature, the silk is fully dissolved (maybe a couple stragglers left behind). I also cut my silk into very fine small pieces...

    Aztec?

    I have not ordered from the new site, but Aztec is one of my "go to" places for many of my products. I do use PayPal, which is supposed to be the safer way to pay online. If you are reluctant to use your CC info, I would recommend using a PayPal account that links to your CC for all your online...

    Lowes Riceland Rice Bran Oil

    I just picked up more of the Riceland RBO at Lowe's and brought up that I purchased 2 of them on Memorial Day weekend and what a bummer it was that I had to pay full price then. The gentleman was very nice and told me that I would return with the receipt, they will adjust it to the current sales...

    Wrapping my bath bombs

    I have not used this technique since I use shrink wrap bags, but I wanted to pass it along. Let us know how it works if you try it.

    Wrapping my bath bombs

    I watched a YouTube video where that lady (sorry, I cannot remember who it was) used Saran Wrap and cut it in a square, placed the bath bomb in the middle, then wrapped it tightly. After wrapping, she used her blow dryer to shrink the Saran Wrap on the bath bomb and seal it from air and moisture...

    A plea for help!

    If you pm me or email me today by 4pm CDT I could 2-day you rose scented sugar scrub cubes and a rose/chamomile lip balm that I already I made. I made them for an event in May and then that event was cancelled, so I have them sitting packaged and ready to go (I just don't have my label on them...

    Lowes Riceland Rice Bran Oil

    I just returned from my local Lowe's. It took the help of a store manager to track down where the RBO was located....high on a pallet in the back corner waiting for Thanksgiving. So, if you are not locating it in your local store by the fryers, have an employee check the computer system to see...

    No Palm Formula Feedback

    I know you didn't say no one could be allergic to almonds. And YES, they are a drupe, not a true tree nut, yet they get lumped into the tree nut category. Yes, everyone can be allergic to something or if overused become allergic to it. Penicillin use to be the "go to" antibiotic that I was...

    No Palm Formula Feedback

    My sister is severely allergic to almonds and anything that contains almonds, however, she is able to eat peanuts, walnuts, pistachios, etc. Almonds contain something in their oil that causes the allergic reaction (this is what her doctor told her) and many people have this allergy, so it is...

    Let's play Good News / Bad News

    Susie, my husband won't let go back over to Lonestar Candle Supply after my last trip over there. Good news: I was able to get over to Lonestar Candle Supply without getting lost and taking only back roads to avoid the highway congestion. Bad news: I spent 3x what I had originally planned to...

    Men's fragrances

    So far, I have used Cowboy scent and the guys love it. This is my husband's favorite scent in his stash of soaps.
