I use cardboard risers from Gershel Bros. New and Used Store Fixtures | Gershel Brothers They are light weight, easy to transport, assemble and store. They are also pretty sturdy and economical. I was concerned that being cardboard, they would not hold up, but i've had no problems with...

I found a recipe for a lotion supposedly similar to Aveeno. I made one batch with shea butter, as called for in the recipe, and another with mango butter since I wanted to use it up. I didn't have any colloidal oatmeal so I put some oats in a food processor and tried to make my own. I did get...

I'm getting ready to make some soap with oatmeal. About how much colloidal oatmeal or oat flour would you suggest per pound of oils

I must have one! :)

I made it last week so it's curing now. I'll report back in a few weeks.

I think you nailed it! Beautiful!!!

Where did you get your wood stands from? They show off your soap very well. Easy for people to see straight-on. Are they easy to set up? The greenery on your poles is a really nice touch.

Love the look. I'm gonna try it.

Zany, I tried your recipe. It creates a super hard bar, good lather, and a nice feel. Really like it. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking for a really simple recipe that makes a good bar. I've used up to 7 oils in a recipe and that's really too much for me. I think this will be one of my...

I signed up for a monthly market this year and would love to hear your tips. I'm sure they would be very helpful.

They are beautiful!

Intriguing recipe. I'm going to try it. Did you superfat? What is the purpose of the arrowroot?

I am doing that now. I requested a copy of the HSCG policy so I can see what the coverage provisions are.

One of my goals for 2022 is to get my insurance in order. I have business insurance thru Erie, which is does my home owners policy, but I'm researching to see if there is better coverage available. I called Hiscox and was told that they do not cover soap or candle makers because that is...

I used Godaddy for my website design and hosting. I built the site myself with no prior experience. It was a bit slow going and occasionally frustrating, but I saved the money a designer would have charged, plus I learned something new, which is always a plus. Godaddy now has a card reader...

Do you dissolve the salt in the water before adding the lye? Do you use regular table salt, with/without iodine? I've got some dendritic salt left over. Do you think I could use that? (I bought it to make scrubs but found it to be too harsh.)

So beautiful!

Hadn't thought of contacting Candlescience. I'll do that. Thanks.

I am using IGI 4627 Comfort blend wax. My container is a 12 oz salsa jar which is about 3.5" wide. I used a LX 24 wick (as recommended by Candlescience) for the first test. After 5 hours I did not have a full melt pool. I tried 3 LX 10 which created an almost full melt pool in about 30...

Your soap looks great. Perfect gift from a geologist!
