    Anyone else finding buying on Amazon frustrating these days? - Halloween

    Yeah, its ever since COVID. Reviews have gotten so bad on Amazon. I LOVE Halloween. Such really good memories of it. It's a toss up for Christmas and Halloween to me.

    Just pulled them up. I will have to look after I get back from doordashing tonight but they look promising. Not to mention good prices, and adorable product.

    Considering a new loaf mold - opinions please?

    The heat is so weird here that I've had the top of my soaps form a crack while the bottom stays stuck to the silicone mold. I had someone on facebook redo my recipe and suggest I try it to see if it makes a difference. Not that I asked them to. I am tempted to try it though.

    I'll try that and see if it makes a difference. I love the confidence lol. Not sure if it would be more of a pain than the soap not coming out of the mold properly every single time.

    Considering a new loaf mold - opinions please?

    I love Nurture Soap, I really do. And I love the molds they made, their colors, their fragrances. The problem is the silicone. I've had it for two years, and every single time, it doesn't come out of the mold well, no matter the recipe. And it takes probably three weeks before I can remove it...

    I'd love to buy local. Doesn't seem like anywhere has what I want. If they do, I have to order them in. I HATE shopping in and around New Orleans. This area doesn't have what most of the rest of the country does and I don't really know why.

    Anyone else finding buying on Amazon frustrating these days? - Halloween

    It being Prime Day, I figured I'd go check out Amazon to buy toy toppers for the bath bombs I have planned to sell to the kids for Halloween and OMG the reviews are bad. Even if the negative reviews are maybe 2% of the total reviews, the ones that are there are really really horrifying. Like...

    Which packaging for Halloween Bath Bombs?

    I ordered the round ones but yes, I'm concerned you're right lol.

    Which packaging for Halloween Bath Bombs?

    Maybe but I don't think it would be a problem as long as it isn't IN the bathbomb mold, just inside the packaging. Kind of the way Kinder Eggs does it in the US. The chocolate and the toy are separate by law but there's still a plastic wrap around both. What I was thinking is filling the cup up...

    Which packaging for Halloween Bath Bombs?

    I want to do something different this year. Normally, I just make shaped bath bombs and sell those. This year, I want to do powdered bath bombs in Halloween colors. One set for kids and one set for adults. I want to include a little toy on top of the kids ones so I want enough room to put it...

    Has anyone ordered from Pepper Janes on Etsy?

    If so, do you have any thoughts on her fragrances?

    Pentagon shaped column soap mold

    I'm sorry but I don't know of one shaped like that. I tried googling it but nothing came up

    What increases "longevity"?

    Just a thought but if you just use the ends of the soap for your personal use, not a whole soap bar, then you can test the ends yourself, it will wear away faster, and you can sell the whole bar.

    Shave Soap Shaving Soap vs Shaving Cream

    There are alot of preservatives out there Some are artificial, some are closer to natural. All of them are based on ph and heat. I suggest getting a ph tester to find out what it is then look at whats viable for that ph range. Germall plus, for example, is artificial. Meaning, man made. Optiphen...

    Not precisely candles but melts - Halloween?

    Insurance

    While Soap Makers Guild is pretty awesome, it's a matter if you can afford it. It's not exactly cheap though I really wish I could join. I use Handmade Insurance. It's $285 for the year at the moment and is a company out of Cincinatti. I don't sell enough to justify higher prices. That being...

    Not precisely candles but melts - Halloween?

    I'm looking at a Halloween fragrance to add to my wax melt line. I already have Gingerbread for Christmas (and maybe more since I also have some pine, etc). Last year I did sugar cookies and people loved it but I want to do something different this time. Like marshmallows, smores, nutmeg, etc...

    How are you offsetting the cost of Olive Oil?

    Hmmm, that's an idea but I shouldn't have to line a silicone liner.
