Thanks for the grapefruit/ylang suggestion. I tried the blend yesterday with pink grapefruit and I am really happy with how it turned out. I can't wait to try some of the others.

If you could make a program that runs like Quickbooks and Soapcalc you might give Soapmaker a run for their money. Honestly, I am selling but I don't have a large operation, I don't need them to track my supplies. If I am running low on something I usually notice and order on my own before it is...

Juiceman, did you switch to a Quickbooks like program? I was thinking about QB, I used it when I worked in an office and it was very user friendly.

I recently started using the Soap Maker Pro software. Unlike a SaaS like SoapmakingFriend.com I am feeling a little micromanaged by this software. I dislike that there isn't flexibility built in for the user. I am trying to create an invoice and the program will not allow me to because I did not...

I also love lavender and lime. I also like lav & eucalyptus.

What are your favorite spa scents made with essential oils?

Interesting that the first link says the eo doesn't smell like lemons but lots of lemon scented products claim to have Meyer lemon eo. I guess I will have to settle for a traditional lemon eo. Thank you for doing some research Mel.

It is hard to please everyone, you will exhaust yourself if you try. I live in So. Cal and a lot of people here read the labels on everything. I sell all veg. soaps because that is the kind of area I live in, but occasionally someone will scoff at palm oil even though I use the "sustainable"...

I never really used a Sunflower Oil in my recipes but bought some on a whim. Kinda figures I ordered the wrong kind. Do you think the mid oleic will be OK for soap if I add some ROE? I'm weary of DOS...

Has anyone ever seen it? I did a Google search but only found dish soaps from W & S.

Hydrosols are wonderful in lotion :)

I am the OP. I am just trying to find a nice way to describe Pine Tar Soap w/o going into medical claims. Pine tar soap isn't that pretty and smells kinda funky. I just sell at two local farmers market, people usually smell a few bars and buy the ones they like. With that being said, I just...

I'm trying to write a description for my Pine Tar Soap but this is all I can come up with: "Kinda ugly, smells a little funky but great for your skin." How do you describe PT without using medical claims?

Sorry to interrupt. I accidentally purchased a gallon of mid-Oleic Sunflower Oil, any ideas of what I can do with it?

I wouldn't do it. I like the control of a stick blender. Plus you would have to devote a blender just for soaping. It would be really hard to get a seizing soap out of a blender too.

I plan on remaining professional. I am trying to stay positive. I was thinking about making a sign about our products saying something along these lines, "We have perfected our soap recipes over three years and hundreds of batches." My husband wants me to promote the fact that I am member of the...

I recently started selling in a few markets for the summer. Even though selling soap is new to me (I have been making soap for 3 years) I have a lot of experience selling other things at farmers markets. I was very upset and caught off guard when I noticed that another vendor was copying my...

I recently tried the Lav & Herb from BB. It smelled nice but about a week later I can't really smell it. I used my normal percentage in CP. It soaped fine though.

I ordered 8 ounces of ylang ylang eo to try out. Now that I have smelled it, I have to say it is an EO that I don't care for. Does anyone have an EO blending recipe they wouldn't mind sharing?

I just think it is funny. It is already in my next Goodwill bag. I only give her my products for Christmas and other events when everyone is buying gifts. I am a special ed. teacher and there are 15 other teachers in our dept., plus everyone has at least one aide. So at Christmas time a bar of...
