I agree with @AliOop and @Zing that fir needle EO is better than pine in CP soap. Pine always leaves a weird ‘after smell’, even in blends. I get most of my EOs from NDA.

Now I’m curious. I’ve heard before that Himalayan salt can cause abrasions, so I tried doing some research to find out the truth. It didn’t help, because I got answers on both sides! Yes, it does contain clay and can cause abrasions and/or lacerations, and no, it doesn’t cause lacerations or...

Those jars of lotion look so beautiful!

I love New Directiosn Aromatics and have been using their oils for 15+ years. Liberty Naturals is another really good option with a ton of oils to choose from. On another note, I received an email from Camden Grey that they are reopening soon for bulk orders! https://www.camdengrey.com/

Looks amazing!

I use CO at 25% in my regular recipe as well, with shea butter and GM along with other basic oils. I use it on my face every single day and get comments all the time on my ‘beautiful’ skin. Just did a market this past weekend and actually sold soap to a couple ladies based on how my skin looks...

I use mainly EOs as scents because that’s what my customers want (and honestly most FOs give me a headache). I use NDA and Jedwards the most, and I don’t buy many really expensive oils, I just do a lot of blending.

That recipe looks delicious! Thank you for sharing.

I use silicone lined wooden molds from Silvermoon that I bought in 2010. I’m able to slide the loaves right out at about 24 hours, and the sides and bottom are slick as glass. Unfortunately, they’re not in business anymore 😞 If I had to go back to lining with freezer paper, I might not make soap...

The Dish overall was AWFUL when it came to helping out newbies. I was on there for a good while trying to learn more about soapmaking, but dang, if you asked a question they thought you should already know the answer to, they were some of the biggest bullies I’ve ever come across. Also if you...

Welcome!

I like their EOs but they were always so high priced to me. Still sad to see them go though 😞

I love Black Rose on eocalc.com. It’s complex, rosy floral-y, and sticks.

I crochet face cloths using Knitpick’s Dishie 100% cotton yarn and it’s such a dream to work with! Super glide and never splits.

Thank you Tammy, it was my first late husband who served. My osteoporosis is manageable, in spite of the severe fractures it’s caused. Back to the implants: I have a friend whom I recently found out had hers placed here in the States but the dentist put one in too far. One of her other friends...

Welcome to the forum! Cool soaps 😎

Hi and welcome!

Looks beautiful!

@MomInWA I’m so sorry this happened to you 😞. I hope the owner makes it right and that the GM truly does take this as a good lesson. Unfortunately, in this day and age, safe spaces for women seem to be dwindling.

I sold ONE gift box at my last market, but ended up selling 16 little sets of soap, face cloth and soap deck that I had put together! I have no idea why they were so successful but the boxes weren’t.
