    Unknown issue with wicks or wax

    I can reiterate that - soy is very unpredictable and each batch can vary hugely. I have had the same problem of sudden burn changes and unfortunately there's no short cut but to test burn each new batch of wax.

    Newbie to the world of CP soap making - Help needed :)

    Please don't forget you CANNOT sell any soap in the UK without getting a cosmetic safety assessment first. It's about £200 and you must have one in place before you even attempt to sell to the public. You also product liability insurance (just in case). Please, no matter how nice people think...

    Does anyone list their ingredients properly?

    We have to lidt the CI number which should correspond with a mica "blend" rather than list each component individually.

    Help with candles... I tried everything

    Yep looks about normal for soy blends tbh. It will depend how perfect you are looking for but soy does have a tendency to misbehave.

    Coronavirus

    Numbers are looking scary here in the uk and we're now on lockdown. Only allowed out for essentials for at least three weeks - have to go get groceries tomorrow and tbh I don't want to go. Feel quite safe tucked upon my house keeping myself busy. I so hope the US doesn't go the way its being...

    Hand Sanitizer

    Not 100% sure on this but I think I read something about some of the go-to antibacterial stuff being toxic to dogs. Anyone shed any light on that to perhaps aid some of our soapy peeps?

    Please, this isnt the time or place. I don't want to disparage anyone religious belief but not everyone here believes in a Christian God.

    Coronavirus

    I am as concerned for my health and my parents as much as anyone but the quotes of 45% mortality is wildly off the mark and just feed into the anxiety. The death rate is around 1-2% but given it's based on the number of known cases it's likely to get less plus you cannot equate population...

    Holes under surface in soy wax candle? Help!

    Yep I echo @jcandleattic seems it happens more with soy. Some fragrances seem to be worse than others but other than remedying, poking holes etc, it's pretty hard to avoid.

    Coronavirus

    It pretty much seems to be everywhere now and I guess the only questions are how bad will it get and will I/ my loved ones get it? Scary that Italy is effectively shut from now,suspect it wont be the last country to have to do so.

    Stability test

    Hi there and welcome to the forum. If you find a cosmetic assessor they usually offer stability testing as well, cant recommend a local one tbh but if you look for Cosmetic Safety Assessors local to you they should be able to help.

    Coronavirus

    I'm concerned but ok about it but tbh I'm terrified for my elderly parents. It seems to be spreading so quickly now with increasing cases in the UK that you have to wonder how bad this can be. Not sure how much coverage its getting in the US or how many cases you have?

    Coronavirus

    I think this is so much more than China now with so many cases in Europe and the middle east.

    Coronavirus

    With this now seemingly spreading swiftly around the world, I wondered whether any of our members are directly or indirectly affected?
