    Soap recipe for older thin skin

    No worries, I just clarified just in case, I have about the thickest "thin skin" one could have lmao It isn't actually rude, my grandmother and "Auntie" had that "distinct odor", and I started smelling it on myself (probably imagination) so I went down the rabit hole, AND all the hallways! it...

    Soap recipe for older thin skin

    The persimmon is available through some of the hunting supply shops online, and is quite costly (in the big picture)

    Soap recipe for older thin skin

    Most of my soaps are vegan, however, my neighbor butchered, and provided me with tallow. I fell in love with the hardness and how it makes my skin feel. I am aware of the differences tallow makes with soap. I only make 2 non vegan soaps, and the persimmon is one of them.

    Soap recipe for older thin skin

    Your oil choices are my basic recipe. I cook soap, so obviously I am not a swirler, lol. I do use persimmon oil for my personal soaps for my aging hormones. I have mild psoriasis, and the above oils appear to agree with my flairups.

    Nobody wants to try shampoo bars unless they're free...

    No, I am talking about shampoo bars, not just labeled as shampoo bars. The shop I sell in has 2 brands, and shampoo and conditioner bars is what their specialty is. The bars are small, but they are also pricey.

    Nobody wants to try shampoo bars unless they're free...

    People buy shampoo bars. The shop I sell my wares in sells 2 different brands. People who buy them swear by them, and they have their friends buying them as well. When I began making my pain cream, I gave my entire first batch away to "test" it. [30] one ounce cans. It was expensive, but to me...

    I use online labels, they pretty much have about any shape and size you could possibly want at decent prices. Go directly through them, not amazon. Larger selection

    MSM/Emu ol cream for arthritis

    I don't make "emu" pain cream, but I do make a magnesium and arnica oil cream. I use a USA made organic cream base (I buy it by the gallon here in PA), and mix 20% arnica oil and 20% mg oil, and a few other ingredients to thicken, etc, and an essential oil blend specifically for pain. I jar it...

    What are your top 3 EO to use in soap?!

    "Bulgarian" Lavender is a hit with my customers. It is a lot more subtle than French and English, and i can tolerate it! (Not a fan of lavender, in general.

    Congrats on your new truck! Just a word about credit karma...be careful with the click bait from them! They will claim you don't have enough credit and want you to get more...every time you apply for a new line of credit, it dings your credit rating. Also, transunion and equifax are not the only...

    Post your Gripe

    Grief? Because, you are now the head babysitter! And, I might add the #1 enemy because you moved up the ladder. In my experience, when people are promoted, it is the first step out the door. That step may take a while, but your charges make life so difficult many people cannot take the BS, and...

    Salt bars breaking apart... cut it too late?

    I should have mentioned that I am a hot process junkie, so my loaves at cutting are quite hot! I found that even adding 2 tablespoons of salt to a loaf will produce crumbly soap at a 24 hour set up time. (Can't speak for anyone else, though) 🙂
