    Big Plans. Overwhelmed at where to start.

    Thank you! I've been making a spreadsheet with all the ingredients and stuff for the labels. Since I'm using detergent free melt and pour I've read it doesn't really need one other than the scent, but I know in my case I'm allergic to things like colorants. So for the sake of people like me I...

    Big Plans. Overwhelmed at where to start.

    Not planning on starting a business per se. I'm on SSI and can't chance losing my insurance so that's not even really an option. What I wanted to do was start volunteering at a domestic violence shelter that helped me when I came to where I currently live, or maybe the local LGBT community...

    First order of melt and pour base looks weird

    I called them this morning. They're replacing the broken things and the vita burst beads. They also threw in something I had in my cart saved for later for free, and they said they're filing a claim with UPS. They wanted me to file a claim with them as well is what the lady on the phone said...

    The heat and hold method?

    Thanks so much for all of this information! And about the Ice emulsifiers @justjacqui I had no idea those existed. This is exactly why I came and asked the question. I've seen so many beauty DIYers say some mismatching things on YouTube that I wanted to be sure. I even saw one the other day...

    First order of melt and pour base looks weird

    I just got my first order of melt and pour bases ever. I ordered three different kinds of detergent free from wholesale supply plus. The clear, she butter and aloe and olive. All of them have arrived looking like someone had lathered the tops and then smashed the lids down on the bubbles, and...

    The heat and hold method?

    I'm grateful to see the discussion. Being new to all of this I'm not sure what steps to take. Since I have a cat, and an autoimmune disorder heating and holding is def a step I want to take. Soon as I deposit some money tomorrow I'm buying a temp gun. So I'll know what temp they're at and will...

    The heat and hold method?

    Ohhhh that looks nice. Even more reason to get those rolling shelves I wanted now. That just might fit on the top one perfectly. I was going to use them to let my soaps harden on as well. So they'd be doing a lot of double duty.

    The heat and hold method?

    I don't know how well the longer rectangular version will work. My counter space is going to be limited and they're L shaped. With a Microwave in the corner spot. If I had the rectangular crockpot taking up one of the counters I won't have much room to lay everything out to work with. But...

    The heat and hold method?

    I have a big red tub that's sitting in my kitchen sink right now. I planned on buying another one once I start actually making the stuff from the dollar store or from walmart so that I have one dedicated to just soaking the stuff in so no food particles get in them. I already have a 2 pack of...

    The heat and hold method?

    Thank you so much! I've been looking for good priced things and where I can order them. I can't exactly go out shopping. My wheelchair hampers bringing things back on the ADA transport. But this link is a huge help! I might get that and an electric kettle. That way I would be able to do both...

    The heat and hold method?

    I know a lot of recipes for bath and body products tell you to heat the distilled water to a certain temperature and hold it there for twenty minutes. I'm not arguing to skip that step because it does make sense. I just have a question about pulling it off. I'm in a regular apartment right...

    Hello everyone

    Hi there. I'm Jubilee. I'm new to all of this and found the links to this place through some youtube videos and an internet search. I'm getting into soap making as well as other items due to a skin disease. It makes me very sensitive to sunlight as well as anything that clogs my pores...
