I have to admit, I am terrible at organizing! I did not even think about keeping the closed bag in a big rubbermaid container. :oops:

For those who have a business, how do you store your packaging, bottles & jars? I've started ordering in bulk & I'm at a loss as to storing them. My instinct is to take them out of their bag and line them up, but I'd rather keep them protected & covered. Ideas?

Now I'm curious if you got something different... it's definitely a little spicy but I'd say it's a perfume-y scent, not something I'd ever mix with a cookie scent.

Hello! I hope everyone had a good holiday season! Mine was great but surprisingly busy. Anyway, I have been making some bath salts lately (for personal use) , and I've noticed that the Himalayan salt I use is leaving a grainy, sandy residue at the bottom of the tub. Not enough to scratch the...

Funny how different noses can be... To me, Hotel Costes smells green to me- like pine, fir, with some floral and spice notes. I wouldn't say it smells like Red Hots at all. My husband likes me to wear it as a perfume but I like it best as a room spray. I have soaped their Rosemary Mint. OOB it...

Yup, I have seen that product all over Instagram. It's just an over-priced multi-purpose syndet bar. They are just trying to market it as something new.

Yup, I didn't see anything either. :(

It depends on how you define "shampoo bar." A lot of soap makers like to make a soap that's formulated to be "good for hair." Unfortunately, a lot of the science on this matter indicates that no soap is good for hair due to it's high pH. On the other hand, you have other shampoo bars which are...

DeAnna is the best! :) I am so grateful she has been on this forum to share her expertise with us.

:eek:

It might still be DOS. Is it just spots on the soap or the whole bar? How have they been cured?

Oregon Trails is having something tomorrow....teased but no details yet.

Save on Citric, Mad Micas, or Nurture Soap ETA: Lakes will work fine in bombs but you have to disperse in an oil, instead of blooming in water/witch hazel/alcohol.

Yup, it sounds like ricing to me too. Ricing and acceleration often occur together with a certain FO, but sometimes it's only one or the other.

Really Red Mica from NS also works well. It is the red in both of these soaps.

That looks like overheating to me too. I don't think SL would be the culprit.

No, it shouldn't. I have used this technique several times, and unless you have a accelerating FO, your non-stick blended portion should remain more fluid that the bottom layer.

IMHO, BB FO's really are high quality and worth the extra cost. For the most part, they really stick in soap and (again, my opinion) are almost always enjoyable & true FOs. I rarely get something from BB that I don't like. The only downside is that I am on the opposite side of the country from...

@cmzaha what % of Softisan is needed to combat graniness in formulas? I am going to get some but wasn't sure how much I should buy.

Give it a shot!
